iF Gold Statement

Materials Look & Feel – selected by Aart van Bezooyen This product deserves an iF gold award because it appears to be and behave like a regular adhesive but, due to its special, innovative surface characteristics, it can be removed without leaving any residue. The material can not only be used on smooth but also on rough surfaces and even on skin, resulting in a wide range of potential applications, also in the medical field. Simply fantastic.
