Aquaseal, the best answer to solvent based Lacquers
innovative waterborne heat seal & barrier dispersions
Paramelt has established the worlds first commercial capability for the mechanical dispersion of high molecular weight, thermoplastic, polyolefin polymers, such as PE, PP, EAA, EVA and ionomers.
Target markets
With the broad scope in material selection the possibilities for Aquaseal products are endless. Some
Foil Extrusion lamination primer Heat sealing Lidding sealants for a wide range of substrates Film Primer-less coating for direct application on plastics Broad range lidding heat seal adhesives Heat sealing - Full coverage heat seal for horizontal and vertical applications - Pattern applied sealants for cost reduction - A/B sealability in laminate simplification
typical application examples in packaging converting are: Paper & board Oil and grease protection
WATER
Until now access to the true capabilities of these materials has only been possible by extrusion. Where application via printing or coating techniques were required the formulator had to compromise on polymer selection or was limited to high melt index (waxy) materials whose performance was substantially below that of the extrusion grades. The introduction of this new technology opens up the full
