AQUATACK: A Deep Dive into Our Flagship Water-Based Adhesive
AQUATACK is far more than just another adhesive; it is the culmination of years of dedicated research and a testament to Kubron's core philosophy of relentless innovation. Formulated with our proprietary co-polymerized purified KAOSIL & KAOTEX compounds, AQUATACK represents a new generation of high-performance, non-PVA based adhesives. Its unique chemical architecture is engineered to deliver not only a powerful, macromolecular bond but also a range of value-added properties that solve some of the most pressing challenges in the packaging and converting industries. It is a product designed for superior performance, unparalleled stability, and uncompromising safety, making it a cornerstone of our portfolio.
The primary application for AQUATACK is wet lamination, specifically for bonding challenging substrates like aluminum foil or metallized BOPP film with paper and board. This makes it the ideal choice for sensitive and high-performance applications such as ice cream cone sleeves, cigarette inner liners, tea bag envelopes, pharmaceutical pouches, and premium lidding films. Its advanced formulation creates a robust, non-peelable bond that can withstand extreme temperatures, from as low as –100°C to as high as +100°C, ensuring package integrity through freezing, shipping, and storage. Furthermore, its chemistry provides an inherent bacteria-killing property, forming a protective, aseptic film that also acts as a formidable barrier against oxygen and moisture, extending the shelf life of the packaged product.
One of AQUATACK's most remarkable and commercially significant features is its exceptional shelf life. When stored in closed containers away from direct sunlight, AQUATACK has a proven shelf life of over 10 years. This incredible stability virtually eliminates waste due to expired product, a common and costly issue with conventional adhesives. This provides our clients with unprecedented logistical flexibility, reduced inventory management costs, and long-term product reliability. Additionally, AQUATACK has no pot life limitations, meaning it does not degrade or change viscosity in the application tray over time. This allows for continuous, uninterrupted production runs without the need to discard and replace unused adhesive, further reducing waste and operational costs.
From an economic standpoint, AQUATACK is designed for maximum efficiency. Its advanced formulation provides up to twice the mileage of many conventional adhesives, meaning a smaller amount of adhesive is required to achieve a superior bond. This can effectively reduce adhesive consumption and cut production costs significantly. Combined with its fast-setting properties, which allow for immediate dispatch (or even faster with heat application), AQUATACK is engineered to optimize every aspect of the production line. It is the smarter, safer, and more sustainable choice for manufacturers looking to achieve a competitive edge in the modern market by improving quality, reducing waste, and boosting their bottom line.
