Packaging
- ADMER™ RESINS CAN BE RECYCLED IN EXISTING PE OR PP STREAMS.
- ADMER™ RESINS ARE SUITABLE FOR MONO-MATERIAL STRUCTURES DESIGNED TO BE RECYCLABLE!
Nowadays packaging applications are highly demanding. Food manufacturers, for instance, aim to keep their food fresh by protecting the packed food from oxygen, odour and moisture. The main target is to prolong the shelf life of packed food products by enabling robust multilayer barrier packaging structures. ADMER™ promotes durable adhesion between polyolefins and barrier materials such as EVOH, polyamide and aluminium foil, helping to maintain barrier integrity throughout the package lifetime. Extended shelf life may contribute to reducing food losses and waste, depending on the food product, packaging design and distribution conditions.
These packaging types are common for fresh meat, cheese, sauces, dairy products and many others.
Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are further areas of application. Coextrusion coating of ADMER™ with other plastics onto paper or foil offers additional opportunities in the packaging area.
As there is no single material which delivers all these properties by itself, barrier materials need to be combined with polymers, metals or paper.
ADMER™ serves as tie layer between those incompatible materials and makes high performing multilayer structures possible! ADMER™ resins are well-known for setting the market standards in terms of quality and efficiency! ADMER™ resins are THE missing link for your multilayer innovations!
High performing structures may feature:
- Barrier to oxygen, flavour, odour, moisture
- Mechanical strength
- Sealability
- Printability
- Thermoformability
- Transparency and gloss
- Temperature resistance
- Flexibility or rigidity
- Puncture resistance
- food contact compliance
ADMER™ adhesive resin exhibits durable adhesion during secondary processing such as thermoforming, sterilization and orientation.
