Development of high-solids biomass laminating adhesives that reduces CO2 emissions related to lamination by approximately 25%

Toyo Morton, Ltd. of the Toyo Ink Group ( President and Representative Director Yuichi Kobayashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) is a high-solid-type biomassLaminating adhesive "ECOAD ™" EA-B3860/EA-B1290" has been developed. It is mainly used to laminate multilayer films for flexible packaging materials, and by reducing the amount of solvent used during coating, _CO2 emissions related to the lamination process can be reduced by about 25%.

Measures to address environmental issues such as climate change are essential issues for manufacturing companies. The Toyo Ink Group strives to eliminate the use of hazardous chemical substances at the raw material stage and actively utilize natural product materials, and to reduce _CO2 emissions throughout the life cycle in consideration of reducing environmental impact at the customer's use stage and life cycle assessment (LCA). We are developing products that can contribute to reduction.
The laminating adhesives "ECOAD™ developed by Toyo-Morton EA-B3860/EA-B1290 is a high-solids type adhesive that uses materials derived from natural products and reduces the amount of solvent used during coatingAre. Normally, the higher the solids content, the higher the viscosity of the coating solution, the impairment of coating properties, and the lower the physical properties, but our unique polymer design technology solves this trade-off, and we have achieved both high solids, biomass, and various performances.
By using this adhesive, _CO2 emissions related to lamination are reduced by about 25% compared to general non-biomass type laminating adhesives. It can be reduced.

Toyo-Morton will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by providing products using renewable materials and raw materials derived from natural products.

Biomass and carbon neutral

Laminating laminating adhesives derived resources as part of their raw materials are called biomass laminating adhesives, and the proportion of biomass raw materials in the dry weight of the product is called the biomass content. Biomass laminating adhesives is a "carbon neutral" material that does not increase the _amount of CO2 that causes global warming, even if it is burned during disposal because the raw material plants absorb _CO2 during the growth process. It's based on the way you think.
