Toyochem has developed new Cyabine™ and Oribain™ pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) with high bio-based content for use in packaging, labels and tapes. The bio-based content for the company’s Cyabine™ series of polyurethane adhesives recorded values up to 80 percent, while the Oribain™ series for acrylic adhesives up to 75 percent.
Adhesive Raw Materials Derived from Biomass
Both the adhesive range include a removable PSA composition with 10 percent bio-based content, a feat that has been considered difficult to accomplish by using conventional bio-based adhesives.
Toyochem researchers in Japan achieved this breakthrough by synthesizing the polymer from raw materials derived from biomass. As a result, the new adhesive gives packaging converters who are looking to incorporate biomass into their packaging structures an eco-friendlier alternative without compromising on performance.
The new Cyabine™ and Oribain™ adhesives are currently available in Japan. With its ever-growing portfolios of biodegradable, bio-based, ultra-high solids and water-based adhesive products, Toyochem will continually work to create innovative solutions that help reduce the environmental load on society.
