CJ and Dongsung “bond” over biobased hotmelt
Designed for packaging applications, the ECOVIVA® Hotmelt Adhesive is optimized for cosmetics packaging, household goods, electronics, and other consumer packaging, and it effectively bonds challenging substrates, including paper to aluminum and paper to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
ECOVIVA® Hotmelt Adhesive is formulated with biomass content, including CJ Biomaterials’ proprietary amorphous PHA biopolymer, PHACT™ A1000P. The adhesive is designed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to conventional polyisobutylene and ethylene vinyl acetate adhesives. The adhesive has also received DIN CERTCO biobased certification.
PHACT™ A1000P is produced via the fermentation of plant-based sugars and is certified as biobased by DIN CERTCO and OK biobased 4-stars by TÜV AUSTRIA. It is a soft, flexible PHA that reduces brittleness and improves processability when combined with other biopolymers, delivering performance that is equal to or superior to conventional petroleum-based polymers.
“By matching the performance of conventional hotmelt adhesives while introducing renewable, biobased content, this PHA-based hotmelt adhesive gives packaging manufacturers a more sustainable option for meeting their customers’ needs and increasingly demanding carbon and source reduction targets required by global climate and packaging frameworks,” said Max Senechal, Chief Commercial Officer at CJ Biomaterials.
