ALFAMELT® – Bio-based Hot-Melts

ALFANTRA®

The world is changing – consumer pressure, new regulations and, last but not least, the shift towards a circular economy are driving companies to improve the sustainability of their new products. With its bio-based hot-melt portfolio, ALFAMELT® offers ecological alternatives to regular hot-melt adhesives without changing the existing infrastructure or compromising on efficiency and effectiveness.

Advantages of ALFAMELT® Bio-based Hot-Melts

  • Certfied bio-raw material content
  • Approved for food packaging
  • Bio-based raw materials from renewable resources
  • Compatible with commercially available melting equipment
  • Greater independence from price fluctuations
  • High process reliability
  • Reduced CO2 footprint
  • Vegan adhesive

THE CERTIFIED ECOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE

A main ingredient of ALFAMELT® bio-based hot-melts are regenerative, renewable raw materials. These organic raw materials, certified according to ISO 16620-2:2019, do not compete with the food industry and are therefore not only ecologically but also socially compatible. The proportion of fossil components in ALFAMELT® bio-based hot-melts is significantly reduced compared to regular hot-melt adhesives and is substituted by ecological components wherever possible. All these measures ensure a low CO2 balance for the ALFAMELT® bio-based hot-melt portfolio.

HIGH PROCESS AND RESOURCE SECURITY

ALFAMELT® hot-melts meet the highest quality standards. This also applies to the bio-based hot-melt portfolio. Thanks to the compability with commercially available application equipment, a change is easily possible. Your process reliability is in no way jeopardised, because the adhesives have been extensively tested and their properties support a stable and uninterrupted bonding process. In addition, ALFAMELT® bio-based hot-melts minimise your dependence on petrochemical raw materials. Risks due to price fluctuations and availability problems of these fossil components are significantly reduced compared to conventional hot-melts.

BIO-BASED HOT-MELT PORTFOLIO FOR THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY

Improve the sustainability of your products in the long term with the ALFAMELT® bio-based hot-melt portfolio. The latest generation of polyolefin and PSA hot-melts with a certified bio-based raw material content of over 40% offer significant advantages over conventional hot-melt adhesives. Thanks to the excellent thermal stability, maintenance costs are reduced to a minimum and high process reliability is guaranteed. The bio-based hot-melts have a wide range of applications. Whether carton closures, trays, wrap-arounds or self-adhesive articles – the ALFAMELT® bio-based hot-melt portfolio offers the right solution for every type of packaging.
