Dairy products, fruit juices, sauces, coffee, snacks: foods like these need to be packaged as well as “To-Go”-products. Adhesives for bonding complex paper, cardboard and laminate packaging must fulfil various functions. In addition, they have to meet the ambitious requirements of the food industry. Just like the silane-based adhesives from Evonik. For example, DYNASYLAN® ensures that the laminating adhesive is easy-to-apply, reliable, heat-resistant and safe in accordance with FDA and EU regulations. Typically, the silanes also must possess a high level of purity. Furthermore DYNASYLAN® can be used for packaging with aggressive contents and is suited for laminating biodegradable foils. Here, the silanes act as adhesion promoter for complex laminate structures in polyurethane-based adhesives for flexible packaging.
Shine On: Acrylic Coatings with VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates Enhance Packaging with Brilliant Gloss and Long-Lasting Color
When appearance matters, acrylic coatings deliver. Formulated with VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates, these coatings offer a brilliant gloss, exceptional color retention, and resistance to yellowing—making them ideal for packaging that needs to shine. VISIOMER® 1,4-BDDMA is a frequently used crosslinker to increase mechanical and chemical resistance. VISIOMER® c-HMA is a cycloaliphatic monomer with low viscosity. It is used as building block to formulate polymers with very good weathering and chemical resistance. VISIOMER® DMAPMA is an amino functional methacrylamide monomer that shows increased hydrolytic stability compared to methacrylic esters and can be used to improve pigment wetting and substrate adhesion to polymers.
