Laminating adhesive ‘quiets’ PLA

Flextra Quiet water-based laminating adhesive helps reduce noise levels in flexible structures that use polylactic acid (PLA) film and other renewable materials in packaging laminations. The first in what will become a line of products, Flextra Quiet was developed and tested at the co's pilot facility on a production-scale Nordmeccanica Super Combi 3000 laminator (photo). The adhesive was engineered to achieve the desired sound reducing properties while still delivering the needed bonding properties. Now commercially available, Flextra Quiet offers consumer packaged goods manufacturers an option to take their PLA-based flexible packaging initiatives forward.
