A Look at Microsphere Technology
Microspheres are tiny particles measuring between 10 and 250 microns (1 millionth of a meter) in diameter. Individually invisible, when grouped together microspheres have a very visible effect. At H.B. Fuller, we’ve harnessed the power of microsphere technology to formulate water-based acrylic microsphere adhesives with ready-to-go formulations — as well as our unmatched customization capabilities — to meet your unique requirements.
Removable and Repositionable Microsphere Adhesive
In emulsion systems, the fine adhesive particles, when dried, coalesce to form a continuous film. This smooth adhesive film, in prolonged contact with a surface, will increase in peel strength over time.
The mechanism by which a microsphere system operates is through its physical structure. The microsphere adhesive, when dried, will form a discontinuous bonding film. In the microsphere adhesive system, contact is limited to the tops of the spheres.
Everyday Enhancement
Manufacturers are finding that commodity removable and ultra-removable adhesives have their shortcomings, and maybe some liabilities. Microsphere adhesives eliminate these issues, while also enhancing everyday items like:
- Labels that can be removed without leaving any visible residue, markings, or damage
- Photo albums
- Consumer advertising
- Masking tapes
- Wall or window decals, graphics, and wallpapers
- Removable note pads
Reform the Norm
At H.B. Fuller we have three ready-to-go microsphere formulations:
- MS1000 Series Adhesives (adhesive notepads and news notes)
- MS2000 Series Adhesives (Paper, self-wound rolls)
- MS3000 Series Adhesives (Paper and films, wall graphics, decals and signage)
The formula’s size difference impacts the adhesive tack, as contact between microspheres and surfaces occurs at the top of the spheres.
These formulas are far from your only options, with our team at H.B. Fuller boasting the longest track record of developing custom adhesive solutions. If you have a special project, we can create a unique formula to meet your needs and even provide technical support on how to properly coat.
