Bostik, the world’s leading expert in adhesives for the industrial, construction and consumer markets, at the 10th Global Summit on Specialty Films and Flexible Packaging, held in Mumbai from August 31 to September 1, 2023 Showcasing Bostik SF10M, the world’s first RecyClass certified laminating adhesive.
With use 100%
The trend of producing recyclable packaging materials from a single material is becoming increasingly obvious. Packaging material components such as adhesives, inks and functional resins contained in high-quality packaging materials must also be recycled. Bostik SF10M
is a solvent-free polyurethane composite adhesive designed for single-material construction, more specifically for polyethylene or polypropylene films used in the flexible packaging industry, with the aim of improving product recyclability.
This adhesive is suitable for laminates composed of printed or unprinted single-material PE or single-material PP. Due to its ability to work with up to 400
It is compatible with high-speed production lines in meters per minute and does not require special adjustments to the process, making it popular with machine builders and converters such as Nordmeck.
Bostik SF10M has been fully tested by RecyClass and is fully compliant with EU requirements for flexible polyethylene recycling streams. RecyClass
is a non-profit, cross-industry comprehensive initiative that aims to increase the recyclability of plastic packaging materials and ensure traceability and transparency of recycled plastic content in Europe.
Promote the recycling of packaging materials by producing higher quality recycled materials and improving product recyclability. Additionally, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are 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 redesigns circularity without compromising consumer safety, food protection and packaging material performance.
“According to Technavio 2023
According to a report in 2017, the use of innovative packaging materials such as stand-up bags is becoming increasingly common in India, mainly in the food industry. Coupled with consumers’ increasing emphasis on sustainable development, products that are recyclable, biodegradable, and have low volatile organic compound 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, Bostik India Flexible Packaging Division
Amit said.
Recyclass has received full approval for PE film recycling processes in Europe. It can be easily processed both on high-speed production lines and under normal production conditions, and uses a two-component solvent-free system. Even better, it is very suitable for composite materials without printed/printed films including MDOPE/LDPE, BOPE/LDPE, BOPP/CPP, and aluminized BOPP or aluminized CPP.
