Uflex has unveiled a general performance 2K
solvent-based PU laminating adhesive under FlexBon Brand for food packaging and
general applications. Reducing the use of solvents is the prime driver behind
creating this product. Uflex's Chemicals Business launched this product
commercially at its production unit, located in Noida (Uttar Pradesh, India).
FlexBon 162R/162 is a General Performance
solvent-based product and can be used at higher application solids of between
45% and 50%. This is possible due to lower viscosity which in turn allows
reduced solvent consumption. This results in overall reduction in the cost of
laminate and makes it more environment friendly. The product also offers good
wettability and solvent release during lamination; it offers good adhesion on
all metallized and non-metallized films and is easy to handle. Owing to its great
potential globally, the Chemicals Business of Uflex plans to target both
domestic and international markets with this offering.
