Cool Adhesives for hot meals

Just pop it into the microwave, the gas or electric oven or boiling water, and there you have it – a delicious instant meal. More and more ready meals in flexible packaging are coming into kitchens and restaurants worldwide. They are quick to prepare and easy to handle. For these meals to arrive undamaged for stocking in the freezers and shelves of both stores and the home, their packagings have to guarantee stability, protection and freshness. Manufacturers therefore need adhesives offering fast drying times, effective adhesion to their specific foil and film types, thermal stability over a wide temperature range and excellent barrier properties.

With raw materials and refined starting formulations from Cognis, manufacturers can produce adhesives for the packaging industry that are precisely tailored to the specific requirements of each application. And, of course, it goes without saying that our products are either very low in solvents or completely solvent-free and fully compliant with current regulations.
