Zschimmer & Schwarz did not enter the water-based digital adhesives arena overnight; its position today is built on more than a decade of dedicated research, hands-on industrial testing, and…
Yes, because the journey into water-based digital adhesives or digital glues is the result of over a decade of research and development rather than a recent trend.
To understand the current level of technology, it helps to look back to the early 2010, because initial exploratory studies on inks and water compatible chemistries began around 2013-2014, when the labs started testing the first formulations.
This early work anticipated a technological shift that the market would fully embrace only years later.
Focused development on digital glues formally began in 2017, leading to the launch of the first official product in 2018.
It's fair to say with some pride that CIMA Uncharted was among the pioneers in the field.
And the experience gained is not just theoretical, it has been grounded in practical testing since 2015 thanks to in-trials that paved the way.
