To complement our line of pressure-sensitive laminating adhesives, Dielectric Polymers has expanded into the arena of heat activated films. Based on our converting capabilities and responsiveness in the marketplace, we have been selected by the Dow Chemical Company as its authorized, small quantity distributor for the INTEGRAL * adhesive films product line.

These hot melt adhesives are supplied in clean, dry, non-tacky film form and are activated by a combination of heat and pressure. The adhesive films are used to adhere various materials together and to create a durable polymeric coating onto a continuous web, functioning as both a processing aid as well as an end-product component. INTEGRAL * adhesive films enhance Dielectric Polymer's adhesive offerings by providing efficiency and economy in a wide range of market segments such as automotive, construction, electrical/electronics and packaging.

DOW heat activated films are designed to be applied primarily by in-line lamination to web or roll stock, by one-step molding or by thermal bonding in a press. These dry film adhesives are also formulated to provide the one-side or two-side adhesion required in certain industrial applications. INTEGRAL * adhesive films are versatile in that they offer varying levels of adhesion on a variety of substrates. From excellent adhesion on metals, nonwovens, many plastics, glass and paper to good adhesion on fibers, rigid vinyl and rubber to peelable adhesion on flexible vinyl, polypropylene, and water-based adhesives, these adhesive films have your application covered.

These films can be extruded in multiple layers to provide unique attributes such as barrier properties, protective and printable surfaces, slip characteristics and corrosion protection. In addition, INTEGRAL * adhesive films lend aesthetics and dimensional stability to laminating applications, with quick processing, simple cleanup and easy handling and storage.
