Volcoplast coatings have the following properties:
- excellent sealing strength on a wide variety of (printed) packaging materials;
- high hot tack;
- low heat seal temperature compared with other heat seal media such
as PVdC, PE and heat seal lacquers;
- high barrier functionality for moisture vapour, aroma and gases;
- flexible, smooth and scuff resistant coatings;
- non blocking.
Volcoplast coating hotmelts are typically used in following applications:
- soap wrappers;
- paper banderol labels for in mould labelling of PS yoghurt cups;
- in mould labelled PS/PETcardboard margarine cups;
- coffee packaging;
- biscuit wrappers;
- chewing gum wrappers;
- chocolate wrappers;
- processed cheese packaging;
- etcetera
The substrates, application conditions and packaging machine requirements
often require a customer specific solution. Backed up with more than 70
products in its program Paramelt offers to codevelop your specific request.
Volcoplast hotmelts can be used not only for all-over surface coating, but also for pattern coating, in which the hotmelt is gravure printed only on those parts that are to be sealed. Further very high viscosity extrudable grades are offered.
