“As solvers, we are always answering our packaging customers’ most complex needs for unique and differentiated product offerings for labels and flexible packaging applications. Ashland’s new PureLED™ portfolio of products is designed to maintain the integrity and enhance the allure of packaging while meeting the growing demands and industry trends of UV-LED technology,” said Catherine Heckman, global industry manager, Ashland Adhesives. “From overprint varnishes to pressure sensitive and laminating adhesives, Ashland offers a wide range of solutions to fit the most demanding applications, including high scuff resistance, low migration, and chemical resistance.”
Purelam™ 9700 adhesive provides the next generation in solvent-free, high-performance laminating developed specifically for triplex flexible packaging laminations where conformability, low migration and exceptional bond strength are required. With a variety of curatives, the converter will be able to choose the best option for their application.
Purekote 8020 adhesive offers excellent water resistance and ease of cleanup. It is the latest addition to Ashland’s digital portfolio. Designed as an offline HP compatible primer, Purekote™ 8020 has been certified by RIT on paper and film substrates.
Solvester EA2500RT adhesive offers “best-in-class” performance in solvent-based laminating adhesives. While competitive products take seven days to cure, Solvester™ EA2500RT adhesive cures within three days at room temperature, extremely low migration properties and is retort-process capable.
Flexcryl SP48 adhesive is an OPE-free, all-temperature, coater ready water-based acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive for permanent paper and film applications that require aggressive adhesion at low temperatures. Applications include food packaging and price marketing.
