DEGACRYL® Heat Seal Coatings for sustainable flexible packaging applications – discovering paper

Recording from May 30th, 2023

Evonik as a specialty chemical company with its brand DEGACRYL® HS offers functional polymers used as binders in heat seal lacquers for various applications. A heat seal coating must ensure a secured sealing of the packaging and enable an easy-peel opening behavior, making packaging designs like the classical yogurt cup a preferred packaging structure by consumers. But also new packaging designs based on paper or for pharmaceutical packaging are of interest for the market. Here, also DEGACRYL® HS products can offer various benefits like for instance barrier properties for water or grease and latest grades can even be applied primer-free in order to increase its recyclability.
