Switching to Water-Based Acrylic Adhesives – High-Performance, Low-Impact Solutions
As brands and converters look for more sustainable adhesive technologies, the shift away from solvent-based pressure-sensitive systems is accelerating. Water-based acrylic adhesives offer a cleaner, safer, and more environmentally responsible alternative — without compromising performance.
At Alphabond, we’ve developed a focused range of high-tack, water-based acrylic PSA adhesives engineered to support this transition. Whether you need a strong permanent bond or a controlled, removable tack, our Fastlock® acrylic portfolio delivers the performance required for modern coating applications.
Below is an overview of the three grades available for download in our full product information pack.
