One Stop
Source for Both Inks and Lamination Adhesives
The SunLam family of lamination adhesives consists
of water-based, solvent-free and solvent-based products designed to meet the
needs of all major packaging applications, including retort lamination for food
packages.
With local inventories available everywhere in
Latin America along with strong local customer technical service, SunLam has
been formulated to complement Sun Chemical’s wide range of lamination inks in
the most demanding environments and applications. SunLam lamination adhesives
deliver superior adhesion, a fast curing combination of adhesive and hardener
to reduce the delay between lamination, slitting and shipping, improved
resistance to strongly acidic foods and liquids, suitability for use with both
flexographic and rotogravure print processes, and high bond strengths even
after package sterilization or boiling.
Converters can also use a SunLam lamination
adhesive with oxygen barrier properties to lightweight packaging by removing a
film layer while still maintaining the protective functionality required to
preserve the contents and avoid migration.
