Eco-friendly adhesive discovered at Oregon State University
July 30, 2010
Label & Narrow Web Magazine reported this month that a new, eco-friendly pressure sensitive adhesive has been discovered at Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR. The new adhesive is made from vegetable oils, and was discovered by professor Kaichang Li by accident. It uses no petrochemicals or toxic substances in the formula or in the process of manufacture. It is easy to produce, inexpensive, and environmentally benign.
This is exciting news for label producers and product manufacturers who want to reduce the environmental impact of product marking. Much work remains to develop the adhesive for commercial use, but we will be monitoring this new opportunity and we’ll bring you news as it becomes available.
