Porous Adhesives

AR is developing a unique porous adhesive technology that provides design benefits for wound care manufacturers.  This adhesive is custom manufactured with uniform pores to enhance moisture and exudates transmission. The pores make the adhesive breathable by providing high MVTR for excellent O2 and CO2 transmission. 

Benefits of Porous Adhesive Technology for Advanced Wound Care Applications:

  • Pores Result in Reduced Surface Area Contact with Skin for Trauma Management During Removal
  • Enhanced Water & Exudates Transmission
  • High MVTR Facilitates Gas Exchange
  • Customizable Film Thickness Ranging from 2 to 8 mils
  • Stable Pores Ranging from 200 to 500 microns
  • Pores Uniformly Distributed throughout the Film
  • Porosity Ranging from 30-50% of the Film Area
  • Each Pore is an Isolated Column in the Z Direction
