What are the specific adhesive requirements in the packaging industry?

Here are key factors to consider when choosing solutions for your packaging:

Material compatibility: When it comes to packaging adhesives, make sure you consider various bonding materials like paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and foil as each usually requires different functionalities.

Seal integrity: Packaging must protect the contents from external factors like moisture, air, and contamination. That means your packaging adhesives must have solid and airtight seals to ensure product integrity.

Stress resistance: Packaging endures handling, transportation, and potential mechanical stress. Adhesives need to resist these stresses without breaking or compromising the seal.

Curing speed and process: Different applications demand distinct curing times. Faster curing is preferred for high-speed production, while slow-curing adhesives might be required for complex configurations.

Temperature resistance: Packaging can be exposed to different temperatures during distribution and use. Packaging adhesives need to maintain their integrity across these temperature ranges.

Chemical resistance: Depending on the packaged product, adhesives might require resistance to chemicals, grease, or oils to control degradation or contamination.

Flexibility: Some packaging demands flexibility to accommodate product movement or rough surfaces. Flexible packaging adhesives offer adaptability without compromising seal quality.

Food safety: For food packaging, adhesives must comply with strict regulations and be migration-resistant to prevent contamination.

Cost-effectiveness: Finding the right balance between performance and cost is essential, especially when it comes to high-volume packaging operations.
