ROBOND™ L Laminating Adhesives for Water-Based Laminating Solutions

ROBOND L water-based adhesives improve worker safety and eliminate solvent emissions. These adhesives eliminate solvent-retention concerns that can affect food quality since they are water-based. They also eliminate primary aromatic amine (PAA) formation. Additionally, ROBOND L adhesives provide high shear strength to allow faster slitting to streamline the laminating process, permitting converters to lower inventory and reduce delivery time to customers. Second-generation ROBOND L products offer enhanced capabilities for most general and medium performance applications as well as select, higher-performance applications such as triplex structures containing aluminium foil used in the packaging of aggressive foodstuffs. Packaging made with ROBOND L adhesives uses 50% less energy, emits 45% less gCO2 and uses 55% less raw material than packaging laminations produced with solvent-based products.

MOR-FREE™ ELM Solventless Adhesives for Laminating Solutions

No other solventless adhesive system provides the degree of enviro-friendly performance like MOR-FREE ELM series. Due to our exacting choices of raw materials and a special process, Rohm and Haas scientists are able to deliver an adhesive solution lower in isocyanate monomer than any other solventless adhesive system, at below 0.1 percent of free monomer. This reduces significantly the risk of PAA formation. Additionally, MOR-FREE ELM laminations are well suited for most general to medium performance food packaging applications and exhibit an unbeatable combination: a safer profile matched with superior machinability. Shipment waiting time for package laminations is greatly reduced and storage and inventory issues are minimized.

ADCOTE™ High Performance Adhesives for Solvent-Based Laminating Solutions

ADCOTE solvent-based high performance adhesives for retort and oven-resistant applications provide the best performances for lidding on deep–drawn applications. These adhesives meet high performance food packaging requirements and enable pre-cooked foods or pet foods to be preserved and used in optimal conditions. They also resist aggressive foods with versatility to allow use in triplex or quadruplex structures for outside layers of retortable packaging where polyester-to-foil or polyester-to-nylon laminates are desired. ADCOTE adhesives run on existing equipment at faster line speeds and with good wetting and solvent retention performances and are uniquely formulated to withstand extreme heat and aggressive contents.
