Low nitrosamine prevulcanised natural rubber latex used for making babies soothers and teats.

Un-vulcanised and prevulcanised low protein natural rubber latex.

Dipping

Wet Bond Adhesive

Formulated Polymers have introduced a range of wet bond adhesives which are casein and starch free, removing any food allergen concerns with these type of additives.
The water based adhesives are specifically designed for wet lamination of aluminium foil or metallised film to paper, glassine and cardboard.

The main end use being high performance food packaging where the adhesive needs to withstand high heat seal temperatures and severe embossing.

FPP have overcome one of the challenges faced with wet bond adhesives by maintaining a good wet edge on to the foil during lamination to the paper irrespective of the temperature and humidity on the lamination machine.
For more specific details please contact our technical team and we will provide up to date advice recommending the preferred grade of adhesive for the application along with the technical data sheet.

Wet Bond Adhesive

Cold Seal Adhesives

Formulated Polymers have introduced a range of cold seals which deliver very high levels of mechanical stability at high press speeds in excess of 400 metres /minute – this will directly result in less build up  behind the doctor blade and consequently lower scumming levels.

The cold seals are designed to seal a wide range of confectionary and snack foods where non- corona  treated Polypropylene is normally adopted as the base film.

The cold seals have been carefully formulated to provide low foaming, high bond strengths, as well as a long shelf life in both the wet and dry state.

For more specific details please contact our technical team and we will provide up to date advice recommending the preferred grade of cold seal for the application along with the technical data sheet.
