Applications for screen-printing adhesives

Without the right adhesive, the printing process can be disrupted and the final results can be unsatisfactory. In our post, we take a slightly closer look at the properties and use of screen printing adhesives.

Where are screen printing adhesives used?

Screen printing adhesives are a type of specialised chemicals for screen printing that are designed to hold moving printing parts in place. They are primarily used to adhere sheets of paper, cardboard or film to the printing substrate.

1. Printing industry: In the printing industry, screen printing adhesives are indispensable when printing on a variety of materials such as paper, cardboard or film. The adhesive properties of the adhesive allow the printed sheet to be held in place, guaranteeing precise and professional printing.
2. Garment industry: screen printing adhesives have also found their way into garment production, particularly for printing on fabrics. They make it possible to apply designs to fabrics and hold them in place during the printing process, which translates into the strength and quality of the final product.
3. Advertising industry: Screen printing adhesives are also used in the advertising industry. They make it possible to create banners, posters or advertising stickers of high quality and durability.
4. Packaging production: Screen printing adhesives are also an important part of the packaging production process. They are ideal for bonding a variety of materials such as paper, plastic or metal.
