Etimex shows solutions without adhesive and aluminium

For years now, the Etimex Primary Packaging GmbH aims to establish sustainable processes, save resources, reduce plastic and develop recyclable products. Such packaging materials are particularly popular with customers, that work entirely without aluminium and adhesives and still fulfil all requirements for reliability, safety and economy.

A new product from Etimex is a food-optimised bonding agent film based on PP-MSA. The material offers perfect Protection for sensitive products and can be laminated onto sheet metal or aluminium without adhesive thanks to thermal lamination. This process has several advantages for both manufacturers and consumers.

On the one hand, there is no need to apply a layer of adhesive using the cold pressing process, which Lower manufacturing costs, a more favourable overall energy balance and therefore more environmental friendliness brings with it. On the other hand, the safety of the filling material is increased. As the process is completely solvent-free without the use of adhesive, there is no risk of solvent pollutants diffusing into the filling material.

In addition, the adhesion promoter film is already Usable from a very low thickness of 40 μm and is therefore suitable for numerous applications. With the PP-MSA-based bonding agent film, it has been possible to develop a solution that is safe in terms of food safety, production technology and cost-effectiveness, and which fulfils even the highest safety and sustainability requirements.
