Enabling sustainability across the metal packaging value chain

It’s hard to have a conversation about the aerospace industry now without coming back to its carbon footprint and the imperative to get from its current 2.5% share of global emissions to net zero by 2050.

The lamination of panels with a wide range of substrates including wood, wood-derived materials, metals and plastics, is commonly known as “Flat Lamination”. Ideally suited for this application are polyurethane-based (PUR) adhesives.

Introduced in the 1990s in footwear industry, Polyurethane Reactive Hotmelt Adhesive, so called PUR or PURHM, to react with moisture in the air and creates strong crosslinks, which enable them to deliver excellent bonding characteristics and durability. In adhesive technologies, PUR hotmelt is the popular solution for bonding applications relating to packaging and woodworking.
