Biomass pressure sensitive adhesives

Environmentally friendly image
Based on the resin design technology and compounding technology that we have cultivated over the years, we have developed a biomass pressure sensitive adhesives as a new environmentally friendly product.

What is biomass pressure sensitive adhesives?

Examples of plant-derived raw materials
Examples of plant-derived raw materials
Biomass pressure sensitive adhesives is pressure sensitive adhesives manufactured using plant-derived resources as part of its raw materials. The proportion of biomass raw materials in the dry weight of a product is expressed as biomass content.

What are the benefits of using biomass pressure sensitive adhesives?

You can promote environmental friendliness to consumers by displaying the biomass mark.

Biomass pressure sensitive adhesives are certified as biomass mark products by the Japan Organic Resources Association. By using biomass pressure sensitive adhesives, it is possible to display the biomass mark and biomass content on the final product, thereby promoting to consumers that the product is environmentally friendly.

*Newly developed products have not obtained the biomass mark as of May 2020.

Depending on the biomass degree of the product, the biomass degree will be displayed numerically on the mark.
Depending on the biomass degree of the product, the biomass degree will be displayed numerically on the mark.

Contributing to reducing CO 2 emissions

carbon neutral
Biomass pressure sensitive adhesives absorb CO 2 during the growth process of raw material plants, so even if they are burned during disposal, the overall amount of CO 2 that causes global warming does not increase.The concept of "carbon neutral" It is based on. Therefore, CO 2 can be reduced compared to conventional pressure sensitive adhesives that are completely petroleum-based.

Contributing to reducing the consumption of petroleum resources

Even if you use plant materials, they will grow again
Many of the raw materials used in general pressure sensitive adhesives are derived from petroleum, and their quantities are limited. Biomass pressure sensitive adhesives are made from sustainable plant-based raw materials and can reduce the use of petroleum resources.
