At present, water-based adhesives in the United States account for 30% of the flexible adhesive composite adhesive market. In Europe, solvent-free adhesives account for 40% of the flexible adhesive composite adhesive market. Related reports indicate that in the flexible packaging industry, water-based adhesives and solvent-free adhesives will be the direction of future development.
The new type of water-based adhesive can completely meet the requirements of dry compounding between most flexible packaging materials and can be used on solvent-based dry complex machines. From the perspective of the use of water-based adhesives by European and American countries, water-based adhesives can meet production process requirements, product packaging requirements, food packaging requirements and can stand the test of time.
Water-based adhesives can be used on existing solvent-based dry-repair equipment, and are suitable for many color printing plants eager to improve the situation of high residual solvent, reduce production costs, and do not need to make new equipment investment requirements. On the one hand, it solves the problem of solvent residues. On the other hand, the use of water-based adhesives does not require investment in new equipment. This saves users millions of investment in equipment. Water-based adhesives are an ideal alternative to solvent-based adhesives. Environmental protection and high efficiency will be the trend of the future of the packaging industry. All domestic packaging material manufacturers are actively developing new materials and products that meet future needs. In terms of composite adhesives, environmentally friendly and safe water-based and solvent-free adhesives will replace traditional solvent-based adhesives. This has become the consensus of the packaging industry. It can be foreseen that with the continuous development of new environmentally-friendly adhesive products And promotion, as well as the gradual improvement of consumer environmental protection and hygiene awareness, those binders that contain damage to the environment and people's health will eventually withdraw from China's flexible packaging market.
