Henkel Technomelt Supra, Liofel adhesives and Optal synthetic adhesive

Henkel will showcase several of its adhesive technology products at Foodtech Packtech 2012.

Technomelt Supra is claimed to offer higher productivity and substantial savings. This adhesive is more efficient than conventional hotmelts and increases productivity through better machinability. It is clear when molten, white when hardened, has no odour and contains no solvents. Technomelt Supra is compatible with a variety of substrates and packages, is suitable for difficult applications and has good flow behaviour. It is approved for direct food contact for use in the food industry.

Liofol adhesives and coating solutions are designed for flexible packaging. With fast migration compliance for food safety, the products have good optical properties, and strong initial tack and final bond strength.

Optal synthetic adhesive is an alternative to products made using traditional raw materials like casein, the price of which continues to fluctuate. Optal is suitable for wet or dry, warm or cold bottles, better cost performance ratio, longer shelf life, good water resistance and excellent machinability. It has high initial tack, is fast drying, resistant to bacteria and mould, and is dermatologically tested.
