Brilliant Polymers‘ MD Gaurav Talwar, will speak at the Summit on Day 2 and will showcase he company’s views on New Frontiers in Solvent-Free Laminating Adhesives for Flexible Packaging. Brilliant Polymers recognizes the crucial role laminating adhesives play in advancing the sustainability of flexible packaging. A key shift in this journey is the transition from solvent-based to solvent-free adhesives, which offers significant environmental and cost-saving benefits. This conversion leads to reduced emissions, lower energy consumption, and a minimized carbon footprint, making it a critical step towards more sustainable packaging solutions.
Over the last decade a large number of applications have moved to solvent-free adhesives including:
- Thin PE film Lamination with negligible increase in COF after lamination
- Single Component Solvent-Free Adhesives for flexible packaging and carton applications for substrates like paper & board
- Medium high-performance applications like bigger bags (5 and 10 kg), aggressive fillings goods (including alcohol)
- Innovative systems for faster food safety compliance & higher performance
Brilliant Polymers believes innovations in advanced cure high-performance solvent-free adhesives will now enable a further paradigm shift of applications from solvent-based to solvent-free adhesive technology and will be focusing on several case studies in its talk at Elite Plus.
