Rohm and Haas promotes the development of waterborne packaging adhesives (below)

Raw materials for Rohm and Haas adhesives, such as monomers and intermediates, are produced and synthesized by themselves. A strong supply chain guarantees the stability of raw materials; Rohm and Haas advanced production processes and fully automated equipment make it It produces water-based adhesives that occupy a leading position in the world. In addition, packaging films using this water-based adhesive can be slit immediately without curing. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the production cycle for color printers, and it is possible to deal with them especially during high seasons. Emergency order for food manufacturers.

Environmental protection is always the eternal theme of the packaging industry. At present, domestic manufacturers of solvent-based adhesives also feel threatened. They have begun to change direction and begin to develop water-based adhesives. However, the main problems currently faced are changes from solvent-based polyurethane systems to aqueous systems. How to ensure the stability of raw materials and production processes. Rohm and Haas's achievements in the market today prove that China's flexible packaging industry is recognized as an environmentally-friendly product, and Chinese consumers are rapidly advancing in environmental protection and hygiene awareness.

In the entire market gradually increased attention to environmental protection and health, Rohm and Haas's water-based adhesive sales also increased several times over the same period last year. At the same time, Rohm and Haas has planned to introduce the newly developed two-component water-based adhesive into the Chinese market by the end of this year. By then, the application field of water-based adhesives will be significantly broadened. This two-component water-based adhesive can be applied. In liquid, boiled and other aluminum foil packaging structure.

In addition, the strength and transparency of this water-based adhesive on transparent films are superior to those of conventional solvent-based polyurethane adhesives. There is reason to believe that with the continuous development of new environmentally friendly adhesive products and their introduction into the market, as well as increased consumer awareness of environmental protection and hygiene, adhesives containing organic solvents that harm the environment and human health will eventually withdraw from China's flexible packaging. Historical stage.
