10 April 2018, Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India): The Chemicals Business of India’s largest fully integrated multinational flexible packaging materials and solution company Uflex Limited has unveiled a general performance 2K solvent-based PU laminating adhesive under FLEXBON Brand for food packaging and general applications. The Chemicals Business of Uflex is a leading provider of adhesives, printing inks and coatings for a wide range of flexible packaging applications.

Reducing the use of solvents is the prime driver behind creating this product. Uflex’s Chemicals Business launched this product commercially at its production unit, located in Noida (Uttar Pradesh, India).

FLEXBON 162R/162 is a General Performance solvent-based product and can be used at higher application solids of between 45% and 50%.
