DETAILS
Perstorp and Corbion jointly announce
a breakthrough innovation
for adhesives.
Resulting from a partnership agreement both companies
signed in 2011, a new lactide caprolactone copolymer
has been developed that delivers major benefits in
hot melt adhesive applications.
The product is part of Perstorp’s Capa™ Lactide
and the two companies are market leaders in their respective
fields of caprolactones (Perstorp) and lactides (Corbion).
The new material is expected to be
the first in a series of innovations for the adhesive industry.
The new product has a renewable content exceeding 80%
and is fully compostable – providing adhesives manufacturers
with a new technology to improve food safety aspects of packaging
and at the same time meet the growing demand
for more sustainable products.
Equally importantly, the new material delivers no compromise
on performance and allows formulators to remain competitive.
Marco Bootz
Corbion’s Senior Vice President Biochemicals
“This new material represents the culmination of two years’
joint development work with Perstorp. It will create
a strong technology platform for the development of polymers
that provide a genuine alternative to
traditional materials like
* EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) and
* mPE (metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene)
for the adhesive industry.”
