Bostik, a leading global adhesive specialist for industrial, construction and consumer markets, has launched HERBERTS LF686/H186, a high performance solvent-free adhesive, for the China market.

Bostik HERBERTS LF686/H186 was developed specifically for rigid packaging, and it can be applied primarily on packaging with aluminium foil, PET/VMPET and aluminium plate. Such packaging can be seen in market segments such as food and beverage, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and pharmaceuticals.

With a wide range of applications, HERBERTS LF686/H186 promotes good wettability, which means there will not be appearance of bubbles on the PET/AL or PET/VMPET films. The solvent-free adhesive can also withstand heat from reheating, boiling, or retorting of packaging with aluminium foil structures. Its other properties include excellent chemical resistance and composite process stability.

HERBERTS LF686/H186 is the ideal solution for rigid packaging with no solvent retention, one that has a good appearance with fast lamination speed, excellent bonding strength and heat resistance.

“The solvent-free laminating adhesives market size is projected to reach multimillion USD by 2028, and there is no better time than now to showcase our capabilities with the launch of HERBERTS LF686/H186. By introducing the product in China, we are demonstrating the necessity to meet the strict packaging requirements in some of our key markets” said Jane Sun, Director of Advanced Packaging and Converting BU, Asia Pacific, Bostik.
