Water-based lamination solutions

With water as their main component, water-based adhesives discharge only moisture into the atmosphere during drying, unlike the VOCs released by solvent-based adhesives.

Because no solvents are used, these adhesives do not pose a threat of fire from high temperatures and speeds, allowing them to be processed 20% faster than the average speeds of solvent-based products.

These adhesives can be used on the same equipment as solvent-based adhesives, thereby avoiding the capital expense of replacing existing dry lamination equipment.

Water-based adhesives also have broader adaptability to different materials.

They are compatible with metalized films, and are suitable for structures such as BOPP (PET)/VMCPP, BOPP (PET)/MPET and inflatable food packaging for confectionary products and potato chips.

Single-component water-based adhesives are often used for packaging of instant noodles and snack foods.

Two-component adhesives can provide higher bond and heat seal strength, and are suitable for some medium-performance applications.

Although many water-based adhesives cannot equal solvent-based products in heat and chemical resistance, which is considered a roadblock to their adoption, RUICO’s new-generation laminating adhesives can deliver comparable performance in some applications such as rice bags and SUPs.

They offer resistance to steaming, boiling and chemicals for foods such as meats and pickles that are sterilized in boiling water after packaging.

RUICO supplies exclusively water-based wet lamination adhesives for a wide variety of applications. They contain no solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fulfill all requirements for indirect food contact under CFR 21 FDA § 175.105. Different viscosities are available depending on the requirements imposed on the machinability of the adhesives.
