Designed for tough surfaces and conditions such as high-speed pharmaceutical packaging lines without counterpressure, these adhesive grades are commercially offered in Europe, India, Middle East, and Africa (EIMEA), and with equivalent performance grades being available across the world.

Series of tests were conducted by the adhesive innovator with various industry-standard pharmaceutical packaging carton samples.

The tests were done at H.B. Fuller’s Lüneburg Adhesive Academy in Germany.

The new adhesives are claimed to have been formulated for better adhesion on GC1 and GC2 type carton boards.

Following testing, the Advantra adhesives are claimed to have demonstrated tamper-evident fibre tear on pharmaceutical packaging and confirmed fibre tear after seven days storage at -70 C and after reconditioning at refrigerator temperatures of 4 C (39 F) following comprehensive testing.
