BIOBASED ADHESIVES FOR PACKAGING

An important global challenge is to break away from fossil raw materials and find sutainable alternatives. With our biobased hotmelt adhesives from sustainable raw materials we made important steps. In the meanwhile, we already offer bully biobased and biodegradeabel adhesives based on:

• Starch
• Dextrtin
• Protein/gelatin
• Casein

Intercol aims to produce more environmentally friendly products. Our R&D is researching and developing biobased adhesives that are suitable for end-of-line packaging, clean and efficient bonding of outer coating of paper. Also coffee-to-go cups with high heat resistancy and can be offered as an environmentally friendly alternative to the production of drinking straws, disposable crockery and cutlery.

Biobased raw materials

Biobased raw materials are produced from regenerative sources. Biobased, renewable raw materials can reduce CO2 emissions compared to fossil raw materials in the supply chain. Not always all requirements can be met to all applications, by mixing biobased raw materials with our adhesives, still the overall product thus makes a positive contribution to climate protection..
