As the demand for PPE increases, so do adhesive orders for this type of application. One of the more dynamic changes manufacturer Beardow Adams Ltd has seen during the global pandemic is the diversification of customers into new markets to support the growing global demand for personal protective equipment and medical supplies.
Since news of Covid-19 broke back in December 2019, the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks and gloves has soared for healthcare workers, employees and for personal usage.
Beardow Adams is supporting and aiding customers during the transitions by supplying them with additional adhesives to be used in the manufacture of PPE, such as face masks and shields and medical drapes and gowns.
One of its UK customers added to its product offering by opting to manufacture face shields in addition to producing self-adhesive tape using Prodas™ 2278; one of Beardow Adams’ semi-pressure sensitive adhesives. Another customer, a packaging producer, opted to manufacture similar products using Prodas 1995, a high adhesion product assembly adhesive. Prodas 1995 was originally developed for laminating photobooks together but has also been used to bond ceramic tiles to display boards.
With a large range of adhesives for all kind of applications, Beardow Adams assures that customers can be confident in approaching them to help effectively diversify their products and services.
