Michem? Prime 4983R

(Copolymer dispersion)

This dispersion provides outstanding adhesion to both metallic and cellulosic substrates and enhances the water, grease, oil, and solvent-resistance of coatings and adhesives. It can serve as a tie coat or primer for extrusion coatings, a foil laminate, specialty paper coating, paper sizing agent, heat sealable coating, and a nonwoven binder, and used as a thermally active binder in thermal transfer release coatings.

Michem? Flex HS185

(Water-based heat seal coating for plastic flexible packaging)

A low temperature heat seal coating for plastic films for flexible packaging applications.

   •  

Michem? Flex HS268

(Water-based heat seal coating for flexible packaging)

Used for heat sealing applications offering low temperature seal initiation and stronger bonds to paper, metal (foil or metalized surface), various primed films such as matte, pearlized cavitated BOPP or BOPET films. It should be used with the addition of a wax emulsion to control the coefficient of friction (typically 2 to 4% by weight) e.g. Michem? Lube 160 RPH.
