There are a host of things to consider when choosing a skin contact adhesive for a die cut wound care product, and at JBC Technologies, we partner with some of the best medical tape and adhesive manufacturers in the industry. We are proud to be a 3M Preferred Converter, part of the Berry Global Elite converter program, and an Avery Dennison AdVantage converter. We also have strong relationships with DermaMed Coatings, Mactac, Adhesives Applications, Flexconn and others – all of whom help us to help you identify the materials that will provide the most value to your end product.
Hydrocolloids
Activated when they come in contact with moisture, hydrocolloids are primarily used in wound-care dressings and ostomy products to promote an ideal wound healing environment.
Gentle Silicone Adhesives
Silicone adhesive tapes provide moderate to gentle adhesion to the skin, have a high moisture-vapor transmission rate and provide excellent adhesion to low surface energy substrates.
Low Trauma Acrylic Adhesives
Lower adhesion level translates into lower trauma upon removal from the skin. Conformable foams and low basis weight non-woven fabrics provide comfortable options for carriers.
Here are just a few of the many material partners we work with:
We also work with customer supplied material. If you have material that you need converted, please reach out to your sales representative or contact us for additional information.

Learn More About What JBC Technologies has to Offer
Rotary Die-Cutting
The more complex the part and the higher the volume, the more likely the part will be produced on one of our more than a dozen rotary presses. Our multiple rotary cutting machines range from 4 to 10 stations, enabling high speed die-cutting of parts up to 24" wide as well as inline slug removal, multi-layer laminations, kiss cutting, gapped or island-placed parts, and much more.
Environmental Control for Cleanroom Die-Cutting
JBC is proud to offer our customers access to an ISO 8 / Class 100,000 certified clean room manufacturing environment with its own dedicated high-speed, precision rotary die-cutting press. Our clean room has been carefully designed to meet the strict standards and quality requirements of the highly specialized industries that require that their parts be made in a low air particulate, temperature- and humidity-controlled, and sanitary environment.
Medical-Grade Adhesives
As with their industrial and automotive counterparts, medical-grade adhesive tapes can be categorized in multiple ways - carrier type (foam, woven non-woven, polyurethane non-woven, spunlaced polyester nonwoven, film, paper, etc.), adhesive type (medical-grade rubber, acrylic, silicone), and construction (double-sided with or without differential adhesive, single-sided, transfer tape, etc.). Your specific application will determine which type of medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive tape you need.
