FOUR VARIABLES TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING THE RIGHT PRESSURE- SENSITIVE ADHESIVE Every business decision is a game of evaluating variables. When it comes to choosing the right pressure-sensitive adhesive, asking the right questions out of the gate can make your business decisions infinitely easier. To simplify the selection process for pressure-sensitive adhesives, Delta ModTech turned to Ingrid Brase of Henkel Corporation, a veteran of the field. Brase has helped the company qualify the main areas for consideration, as well as perhaps the most crucial advice: where to start.
PREVENTING LAMINATION PROBLEMS WITH THREE BASIC MEASUREMENTS Everyday converters are laminating in exciting and innovative ways. But the age-old problems of layflat and air bubbles will always cause concern unless converters and suppliers use three basic measurements. Delta reached out to Tim Walker, a consultant with TJ Walker and Associates (and formerly with 3M), for some lamination insights for today’s converter.

LABELEXPO EUROPE Delta ModTech gives businesses the flexibility to coat, convert and pouch a variety of complex products on one manufacturing system. A Delta ModTech Crusader converter will be demonstrating precision placement on a label product. The system will feature a variety of processes including tight tolerance rotary die cutting, multi-layer lamination, precise part placement and the INTELLI-MOD control system. The INTELLI-MOD control system enables complete control over each module and permits the
perfection of each segment of the converting process. Since there is a separate servo motor at each station, the die cut modules can be adjusted independently of each other, allowing the cut to be changed quickly. This permits the machine to make precise cuts even when the eyemarks are inconsistent. Individual servo control at each die station also allows for another critical factor in web converting, precise tension control. Each die, nip or print station can be set at a different speed ratio to enable the creation of tension zones with the press of a button. Engineers will be on site to confidentially discuss specific application requirements and to help develop a total solution. Visit Hall 6, Stand E51.
