Consumer products companies increasingly rely on suppliers to speed service and better manage costs. Many converters of food packaging are meeting those requirements by adopting Rohm and Haas’s unique new flexible packaging laminating adhesive. Solventless Mor-Free™ laminating adhesives deliver impressive processing efficiencies never before available at this level of performance with solventless technology. These products also meet demanding FDA food packaging requirements, all in an environmentally advanced fashion. Recommended for general and medium-performance packages, as well as challenging hot fill applications, Mor-Free L 75-164 adhesive delivers unmatched processing speed in multiple ways. Laminates used in hot fill applications made with traditional solventless adhesives are typically slow to cure, requiring a week to 10 days storage in inventory before shipping or further processing. The new Mor-Free product, which is fully compliant with stringent FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1395, and attains full cure at ambient temperatures in half the time, typically three days.” Converters can process laminates made with this new Mor-Free laminating adhesive on the same shift – slitting in just four hours instead of waiting a day or more, as they do when laminating with competing solventless adhesives. Mor-Free adhesives also provide an immediate advantage to users — an environmentally advanced formulation that helps meet sustainability goals that are increasingly imposed on suppliers. With this intrinsically solvent-free product, converters need not handle VOCs or incinerate carrier solvents. The formulation doesn’t contain water, alleviating air handling and drying needs in addition to improving adhesive shipping, handling and warehousing efficiencies. Capital investment in solventless equipment is also lower than for solvent or water-based adhesives, and installation goes more quickly, making solventless agents a highly desirable choice for those switching technology or starting new lamination lines.
