Biopolymer Adhesive

12/12/2014 4:03 PM

Does anyone know of a supplier for corn-based biopolymer adhesives? I'm making a prototype of a product but cannot find a manufacturer or firm that can source my materials.

I always need a new guru. I was being vague as I haven't developed the idea enough yet. I am looking for an adhiesive that's between a sticky note and an EKG monitor tab. It needs to be able to stick to human skin, peel off, and be reapplied 2-4 times before being thrown out. I'd like it to have a conductive element in it as I'm trying to harness the electromagnetism from the skin to a conductive mesh.

I have. Thank you. I am not asking the question with enough detail. I am still in the development of the idea and the related research. Thanks.

Don't know what manufacturers you have tried but check Skeist "Handbook of Adhesives".

Good Luck, Old Salt
