Medical tape application demand will usher in high growth
Before 2012, Medical tape adhesive glue is commonly used acrylic and polyurethane hot melt adhesive, In 2014, the production of medical adhesive tape was 3.3 billion square meters, and the adhesive used for coating reached 30 million tons. Although the glue cost is low, But it is harmful to the skin. Long time of application will cause secondary damage to skin lesions. After 2015, some countries in Europe and the United States took the lead in coating medical tape with organic silicon materials. After clinical verification, they were widely promoted. The World Medical Organization issued and forced the implementation of a third material for medical tape application: silicone and Pressure Sensitive Silicone Adhesive. Widely used in medical tape application, silicone bra area, scar paste, medical dressing core. It is expected that over 30 million tons of organic silicon will replace acrylic and polyurethane hot melt adhesives by 2020.
Pressure Sensitive Silicone Adhesive independently researched and developed by Kanglibang is a low-viscosity, sticky, gel-like silicone rubber. Due to its softness, it is soft and friendly to human skin. It is the most realistic human skin, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and human skin. Capability is good. However, the colloid strength is poor and is easily damaged by external forces. In the absence of any adhesion when bonding most substrates, Kang Libang has also developed a primer treatment agent to assist in the application of Pressure Sensitive Silicone Adhesive to fill the market gap.
