Security printers and smart card manufacturers have to increase safety measures constantly in order to safeguard sensitive information incorporated in their products. In order to protect passports, ID cards or smart cards against counterfeiting, tampering and unautorized access state of the art high-tech materials need to be employed.
Lohmann offers elegant bonding solutions for the following main applications
One essential component in the manufacturing process of these documents are adhesives and adhesive tapes used to bond various layers together, such as the cover page, inlay in passports and chips in smart cards. These tapes must meet strict requirements for durability, adhesion, and resistance to tampering. This is where Lohmann comes in, as a leading provider of secure high-tech adhesive solutions and customized services for security printing and smart card manufacturing industries.
Our innovative solutions help to combat counterfeiting and increase efficiency during the lamination process while realizing new security features. Furthermore, our DuploTEC® SBF adhesives offer an excellent adhesion to recycled materials such as Parley Ocean Plastic®, PLA and PVC thus enabling our customers to reduce the environmental footprint of their products.
We do this by partnering with our customers in order to create mutually beneficial bonding solutions.
Our key driver for success is "doing more while using less." We provide solutions that enable our clients to achieve their objectives while optimizing resource usage. At the same time, the manufacturing process becomes leaner by means of increased energy efficiency and reduced cycle-times. And Lohmann’s bonding solutions do more than just bond: not only do they offer the possibility of pre-application at lower temperatures, they also come with a high flexibility after curing and do not embrittle. Due to their thermosetting properties, they feature outstanding mechanical durability.
Lohmann offers innovative adhesive tapes that provide a secure and reliable connection between chip modules and antennas while reducing the environmental impact.
