Five Standard Hydrocolloid Formulations

Typical results: Carrier, thickness, etc. may impact final specifications

Offer a broad portfolio of hydrocolloid laminate adhesive formulations ideal for wound care, first aid, ostomy, and other medical device fixation products. They can be manufactured with PE, EVA, PU, self-wound, or Non-Woven cover stock, and we can employ various release constructs to optimize your production needs.

SMP makes medical-grade hydrocolloid Skin-Friendly adhesive formulations for a variety of professional and consumer needs and indications. SMP follows exacting production protocols and QSR standards to provide our customers with the highest level of product quality.

SMP offers five standard Hydrocolloid adhesive formulations that vary the balance between a desired fluid absorption rate and the strength of adhesion needed for a particular product indication.

For professional acute and chronic wound needs, SMP produces an adhesive formulation with increased fluid absorption capability and an adequate level of adhesion to deliver an acceptable wear time.

For minor wounds and everyday first aid needs, SMP has an adhesive formula with increased adhesive properties and a lower absorption capacity that may be more suitable for this type of indication.

Aside from our standard hydrocolloid adhesive laminate products, SMP also has the creative design capability to develop customized adhesive formulations in a variety of thicknesses and cover stocks.
