UNISTOLE™ R is a modified polyolefin dispersed in a hydrocarbon-based solvent using polyolefin modification and dispersion technology developed by Mitsui Chemicals. The material is used as an adhesive for bonding metals to polyolefins, such as bonding metal foil and PP for retort, PTP and easy peel packaging.
Metal foil when coated with this modified polyolefin can be thermally bonded to PP film or sheet
