Testimonial

“Jeff, Nick, and Peter – We would like to thank you and the APPLIED Adhesives team for the excellent technical support provided in helping us with our recent packaging challenge. When faced with a substrate adhesion failure that occurred on a medical device package at our contract packaging partner, The APPLIED Adhesives team helped develop a quantitative approach to testing and the development of the studies needed to identify the root cause and recommend a solution.  Your output of cooperation allowed us to specify a more suitable adhesive for our packaging materials and the optimal parameters for its use on the production application.  We now have confidence that the packaging process with our partner is much more robust going forward.”
