The Oribain EXK14-346 can be used as the adhesion-imparting material in transdermal drug delivery systems as it is skin-friendly and compatible with a variety of drugs. The PSA emulsion is reliable and has a low residual monomer-content.
Satoru Takashima, president of Toyochem, said: "Our Oribain lineup already includes PSAs that are extremely safe to use, such as heat wraps and surgical tapes. We are now working to develop new products for this growing field. Building on this new development, we plan to expand our polymer chemicals-based product lineup for the healthcare and medical field, both in Japan and abroad."
