Market Trends
Flexible Packaging Application to Witness the Highest Growth Rate
Flexible packaging is growing at an impressive rate, driven by consumer preferences shifting toward new attractive packages, ease of use, sustainability, and conscientious environmental ideals.
Laminating adhesives for flexible packaging are available in a variety of technologies, viscosities, and solids concentrations. There are four basic categories of laminating adhesives that are commonly used. These are waterborne, solvent-based, reactive 100% solid (solventless) liquid, and hot melt.
Solvent-based adhesives used in flexible packaging are generally two-component polyurethane laminating adhesives. These are designed for use in the dry lamination process.
Additionally, flexible packaging is also the biggest application type for VAE adhesives. Another large category is laminating applications due to their flexibility, moisture resistance, and superior substrate adhesion.
With the growing population in countries such as the U.S., China, and India, the requirement for food is increasing, thus resulting in increased demand for flexible packaging worldwide.
