This week, H.B. Fuller Research Chemist Brian Carlson, Ph.D., will speak at Global Pouch 2012, the industry’s leading pouch and flexible plastic packaging conference and exhibit. Global Pouch, which brings together packaging professionals to explore new formats, technologies, solutions and opportunities, will be held June 11-13 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with Carlson’s presentation taking place on June 13.
Carlson will address the value of and recent advances in rapid curing adhesives and how the adhesives can help to minimize the time between laminating and filling, resulting in shorter times to a food-safe pouch. This benefit of speed is increasingly important to the flexible packaging industry, with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) driving awareness and standards that promote food safety.
