Medical Applications
Multi-purpose consumer adhesives.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives for stick-to-skin consumer products — patches, cosmetics, athletic tapes, bandages, and more.
DermaMed coats and converts pressure-sensitive adhesives for consumer products that need stick-to-skin performance — across breathable materials, moisture management, and extended-wear constructions.
Our PSAs serve a wide range of consumer skin-contact applications: CBD and pain-relief patches, cosmetics and skin-care products, athletic tapes, bandages, eye patches, and nasal strips. Each construction is tailored to the product’s specific wear, comfort, and removal requirements.
