Healthcare – NEW

Innovative adhesive and film solutions engineered for diagnostics, wearables, and medical device performance.

Depth in Medical Adhesive Innovation

At Adhesives Research, we apply decades of adhesive science to meet the rigorous demands of the medical device industry. Our healthcare-grade solutions enable device reliability, patient comfort, and regulatory compliance across Diagnostics, Diabetes Care, and Wearable applications. With ISO 13485 manufacturing, biocompatible chemistries, and global technical support, we partner with developers to bring next-generation medical devices to market swiftly and confidently.

Solutions Designed Around Clinical Needs

Medical devices require adhesives that perform consistently under clinical and manufacturing conditions such as skin contact, reagent exposure, and environmental stress. We engineer adhesives and films to support cleanroom processing, controlled fluidics, long-wear adhesion, skin compatibility, and optical performance.

Our healthcare technology suite includes skin-contact tapes, cover and sealing films, spacer tapes, hydrophilic and fluid-handling coatings, UV-curable adhesives, and specialty bonding systems. Each product is optimized for integration into device assembly while meeting stringent regulatory and biocompatibility requirements.

Here are our Medical Adhesive and Coating Technologies:

  • Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs)
    Engineered for long-term skin wear and stable adhesion to plastics, films, and metals while maintaining gentle removal and low residue.
  • Silicone Adhesives
    Provide soft adhesion and high biocompatibility for fragile or sensitive skin applications, such as long-wear sensors and dressings.
  • Hydrophilic Coatings
    Reduce fluid surface tension to promote precise capillary flow and consistent wetting in diagnostic and microfluidic devices.
  • UV-Curable Liquid Adhesives
    Rapidly cure under UV or LED exposure, forming strong, clean bonds for compact device assembly with minimal heat exposure.
  • Barrier & Release Film Technologies
    Include moisture, oxygen, and UV-resistant films with low extractable levels, supporting sterility and chemical stability in storage and transport.

Core Product Lines

  • Skin-Friendly Tapes — Gentle, breathable adhesives designed for secure yet comfortable skin contact over various wear durations.

  • Cover Tapes — Films that protect reagent zones, prevent evaporation, and maintain optical clarity for diagnostic devices.

  • Device Bonding Tapes — Reliable bonding solutions for complex assemblies and low-surface-energy substrates.

  • Hydrophilic Adhesive Tapes — Coatings that enable precise fluid movement in diagnostic and biosensor applications.

  • Spacer Tapes — Controlled-thickness constructions that define fluid channels and assay volumes in test devices.

  • UV Curable Liquid Adhesives — Fast-curing, biocompatible adhesives used in medical sensors and optical assemblies.
