ADMER® Adhesive Resin

Adhesive Resin Applications

ADMER® is used as an adhesive layer in numerous applications which consist of multiple layers of barrier materials. Not only does the adhesive resin ensure that manufacturers meet environmental, regulatory and industry requirements but it also enhances adhesive performance and durability.

The versatility of this polyolefin makes ADMER® suitable for use in a wide range of multilayer packaging systems in the food and cosmetic industries. When the resin is coextruded with gas barrier resin into a tube, bottle, sheet or film, it serves as an ideal food and beverage packaging due to its ability to restrict the passage of oxygen, flavor and odor. As a result, the adhesive resin is used as a permeation barrier in ketchup, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, salad dressing, pudding, meat, cheese, pasta sauce, soup and applesauce packaging.

Mitsui Chemicals is actively investigating new packaging options. For example, the coextrusion coating of ADMER® with other plastics onto paper or foil has yielded some exciting packaging opportunities.

The adhesive resin is also suitable for a number of automotive, industrial and medical uses including Plastic Fuel Tanks (PFT), floor heating pipe, aluminum sheathe, medical tubing and bottles, and cosmetic and agrochemical containers.
