What Is a Packaging Adhesive?
Packaging adhesive is a specialized adhesive used extensively for bonding materials involved in packaging, such as cardboard boxes and plastic films. It fulfills essential functions like product security, sealing, and shape maintenance, proving vital in a myriad of packaging scenarios. Comprising resin, solvent, and various additives, the solvent in packaging adhesive facilitates the penetration of the material, enabling the resin to bond with the material’s surface and create a durable adhesive film.
This type of adhesive finds its applications in a broad range of packaging tasks, from bonding cardboard boxes and sealing plastic films to affixing paper products, wrapping metal foils, and securing foam polystyrene. Packaging adhesives are characterized by their strong adhesive capability, rapid drying times, resistance to water and heat, and overall ease of use, making them adaptable to diverse packaging needs and materials.
