Bostik, the world’s leading adhesives specialist for the industrial, construction and consumer markets, is launching the world’s first RecyClass certified composite adhesive, Bostik SF10M.
With use 100%
The trend of producing recyclable packaging materials from a single material is becoming more and more obvious, and packaging material components such as adhesives, inks and functional resins contained in high-quality packaging materials must also be able to be recycled. Bostik SF10M
is a solvent-free polyurethane lamination adhesive designed for mono-material constructions, more specifically polyethylene or polypropylene films used in the flexible packaging industry, with the aim of increasing the recyclability of the product.
The adhesive is suitable for laminates consisting of printed or unprinted mono-material PE or mono-material PP. Due to its ability to communicate with up to 400
It is compatible with the high-speed production line of m/min and does not require special adjustments to the process, so it is favored by machine builders and processors such as Nordmec.
Bostik SF10M has been thoroughly tested by RecyClass and is fully compliant with EU requirements for flexible polyethylene recycling streams. RecyClass
is a not-for-profit, cross-industry comprehensive initiative to improve the recyclability of plastic packaging materials and ensure traceability and transparency of recycled plastic content in Europe.
Improve the recyclability of products by producing higher quality recycled materials, thereby promoting the recycling of packaging materials. Additionally, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can be reduced by using a two-component solvent-free system
emission levels, thereby reducing the impact on the environment during application. Essentially, the Bostik SF10M
It is a redesign of circularity without compromising consumer safety, food protection and packaging material performance.
“According to Technavio 2023
According to a report in 2019, innovative packaging materials such as stand-up pouches are increasingly used in India, mainly in the food industry. Coupled with consumers’ increasing emphasis on sustainable development, products that are recyclable, biodegradable, and low in VOC emissions are increasingly sought after by consumers. Bostik
Safe and recyclable adhesives such as SF10M will enable packaging converters and manufacturers to tackle plastic pollution and drive a circular economy in India and Asia Pacific. ”BHARGAVA, Commercial Manager, Flexible Packaging Division, Bostik India
Amit said.
Recyclass is fully approved for the European PE film recycling process. It handles easily on high-speed production lines as well as under normal production conditions, and features a two-component, solvent-free system. Even better, it is ideal for composites including MDOPE/LDPE, BOPE/LDPE, BOPP/CPP, and unprinted/printed films such as aluminized BOPP or aluminized CPP.
