Sealed for the future: PerfectaCOL® in biodegradable paper-based packaging
Packaging producers looking to replace plastic sachets face a familiar dilemma: paper is more sustainable, but it still needs to seal securely and protect the product inside. A chocolate manufacturer using plastic, heat-pressure sealable sachets wanted to move to 100% biodegradable paper-based packaging, but needed an alternative that could combine reliable sealing with oil-and-grease resistance.
Paper sack adhesives
Solvicol® CZ 5 A and GP 45 PLUS are cold-water soluble starch adhesives designed for continuous, high-speed paper sack production. Running near splash-free on all major paper sack machinery, they deliver consistent viscosity, quick drying and excellent machinability at speeds up to 500 tubes per minute.
Flexible packaging adhesives
PerfectaCOL® provide heat-pressure sealable, PFAS-free adhesive solutions for compostable paper packaging. PerfectaCOL® is biodegradable and food-grade. Compatibility with existing sealing equipment ensures that retooling is not required before use.
Tube winding & envelope adhesives
Avedex® yellow dextrins deliver high wet tack, visco-stability, application control and excellent dry bond with fibre tear. This solution is ideal for tube and core winding and remoistenable envelope adhesive formulations.
Wallpaper adhesives
Solvitose® cold water soluble starches dissolve easily to give lump-free paste with excellent slide and adhesion for paper and vinyl textile wall coverings. Our products are carefully preserved to ensure reliable storage and processing performance and comply with the latest legislation on preservatives.
