New Dry Lamination Adhesive for Sustainable Flexible Food PackagingNew Dry Lamination Adhesive for Sustainable Flexible Food Packaging

Trinseo, a specialty materials solutions provider based in Wayne, PA, announced today the launch of Ligos A 9200, an acrylic waterborne adhesive designed for the dry lamination of flexible packaging structures that come in contact with food. 

Ligos A 9200 is tailored for paper and polyolefins, polyvinylidene chloride-coated substrates, metalized film, polyamide, and polyester films. The emulsion’s polymer design results in high initial shear and bond strength, creating a valuable solution for film converters. It offers high performance and efficiency with a high solids content of 62% to facilitate high lamination speeds and more efficient drying. Also, the emulsion enables fast slitting in post-lamination processes, thereby boosting operational efficiency.

To facilitate sustainability compliance, the new acrylic has been certified for recyclability by Papiertechnische Stiftung (PTS) — an independent research and service institute of the German paper industry. Testing the CEPI Recyclability Laboratory Test Method, Version 2.

PTS' tests have confirmed that more than 99% of the paper fibers within the structure are recovered in Standard Mill Recycling when using the new adhesive.
