Rigid Packaging
Bostik’s line of hot-melt (Thermogrip®) and water based (Aquagrip®) adhesives offer solutions for bonding coated and non-coated corrugated and fiberboard substrates. Our adhesives performance take up the challenge of emerging packaging technologies. They are particularly adapted for bonding a variety of difficult to bond, surface-treated stock. Their performances in high-speed production and their broad range of service temperatures are also highly valued.
Our product lines cover a full range of applications :

• Case & carton sealing, tray construction
• Bag construction & sealing
• Folding boxes and composite cans
• Bottle and can labelling
• Specialty applications (straw attachment, palletizing)

Flexible Packaging
Bostik is among the leading global suppliers of adhesives to the flexible packaging industry, with a very broad range of technologies including film and foil laminating adhesives, heat-seal coatings, cold-seals, and pressure-sensitive re-closable systems.

Bostik Purbinder® adhesives are reactive polyurethane adhesives for film and foil laminating. Our solvent-based adhesives withstand the rigors of retort applications in food packaging, and deliver exceptional performance in packaging that must tolerate the most aggressive ingredients. Our solvent-free products are especially designed to provide low cost production at high speed, with extremely low monomer content.

Under the brands Nip-Weld® and TurboSeal, Bostik pioneered, and is today one of the leading supplier of cold-seal technology. Cold-seals (sometimes called “cohesives”, because they only stick to themselves) are water-based coatings designed for high-speed packaging of heat-sensitive foods (confectionary, ice-cream), and medical articles.

Tapes & Labels
Bostik is a leading supplier of pressure sensitive adhesive technologies to the tape & label industry. Adhesive tapes and labels are used in many different applications. Each of them requires specific features from the adhesive during the converting process.

Based on our long expertise in converting, Bostik offers hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive solutions designed for specific end uses, and matching processing requirements. The adhesive can be tailored to customer application technologies and relevant substrates. Our market focused technical and sales teams work with our customers to assure we bring the proper adhesive technology along with optimized operating efficiencies to the converters.

Bostik's comprehensive range includes products for permanent, removable, cold temperature, freezer, film and high temperature labels and tapes. Many challenges are met, such as high machinability, clean die-cutting, excellent holding power, clarity, and adhesion to low surface energy substrates.
