ROBOND™ L – Water-Based Adhesives for Lamination

Rohm and Haas is pleased to offer a complete line of water-based dry bond laminating adhesives, the Robond L series, which meet a wide range of laminating adhesive needs, from general purpose label applications, to flexible laminations for food packaging, to applications requiring improved heat and chemical resistance. These products are VOC compliant, thus eliminating concerns around certain solvent-based chemistries.

So far, Robond L series provided many unique benefits in general performance laminations. Now, Robond L Generation 2 water-based dry bond laminating adhesives, introduced in 2006, meet both general and medium performance applications requirements for a broad range of packaging laminations. Robond L Generation 2 adhesives offer greater bond strength and chemical resistance to filled products as well as the ability to operate at faster line speeds and to proceed to immediate slitting after the lamination. With excellent laminating performance even on CPP films and laminate constructions with aluminum foil, this new generation of adhesives is suitable for a broad range of substrates including films, foils, and paper. The laminations also endure pasteurization and aggressive filling goods, such as coffee or sauces.

Unique benefits of acrylic water-based adhesives

Faster supply chain benefits

• Acrylic water-based technology provides high shear strength enabling immediate slitting and fast delivery.
• Shorter supply chain allows for greater flexibility and short production runs.

Health & Safety
Acrylic emulsions are FREE of organic solvents, VOCs and aromatic isocyanates which means:

• healthier food packaging,
• safer work environment,
• less fire hazard and less pollution.

Environment

• Environmentally friendly adhesive system.
• Planet-friendly technology as based on water – less dependency on oil feedstocks.

Easy to use

• Can be run in excess of 300 m/min dependent on air capacity of drying operation.
• Easy handling – delivered ready-to-use, no dilution necessary.
• Exceptionally long pot life – up to eight (8) hours.
• Can be used for printing and lamination in-line.
• Laminate on films, metallized films and foil.
• Compatibility: does not interfere with slip additives.

No / little switching cost

• No CAPEX needed.
• Runs on existing solvent-based equipment.

Furthermore…

• Acrylic adhesive have the brilliance and clarity of paints and varnishes.
• Flexible long acrylic chains give “soft hand” quality to laminate.
• Very good heat seal strength thanks to thermoplastic behavior of acrylic.
• No interaction with slip additives.
