ADMER® Adhesive Resin

ADMER® Adhesive Resin is a modified polyolefin with functional groups, designed to bond to a variety of polyolefins, ionomers, polyamides, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyesters (PET), polycarbonates, polystyrenes and metals such as steel and aluminum.

Adhesive Resin Cosmetic Packaging Applications

The tie layer adhesive can be extruded by applying the co-extrusion process for film, cup, tray, tube and bottle applications. The adhesive resin is featured in personal care and consumer packaging for skincare and body care and toiletries such as:

		Body lotion containers
		Make up bottles
		Oval and round tubes

Adhesive Resin Pharmaceutical Packaging Applications

The ADMER® Adhesive resin facilitates the development of high performance healthcare packaging, which can be used in applications such as:

		Tubing
		PTP packaging
		Bottles

Industrial Packaging Applications

In industrial markets, the tie layer adhesive is ideal for piping and bottle applications.

Adhesive Resin Food Packaging Applications

The use of this low permeation barrier material in packaging structures restricts the passage of oxygen, flavor and odor permeation. Currently, the adhesive resin is used as a permeation barrier in bottle and container packaging for:

		Ketchup
		Mayonnaise
		BBQ sauce
		Salad dressing
		Pudding
		Meat
		Cheese
		Pasta sauce
		Soup
		Applesauce
		Beverages

The ADMER® adhesive resin exhibits durable adhesion during and following secondary processing such as thermoforming, sterilization and orientation. The co-extrusion coating of ADMER® with other plastics onto paper or foil has yielded other opportunities in the food packaging area, which the company is pursuing. ADMER® grades are certified and comply with FDA, EEC directives, and Japan Hygienic Olefin and Styrene Plastics Association (JOSPA) regulations. ADMER® grades may be used in direct food contact.
