CJ Biomaterials, Inc., a division of South Korea-based CJ CheilJedang and a primary producer of #polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers, has partnered with #DongsungChemical to introduce the first PHA-based hotmelt adhesive available in the US market. Designed for packaging applications, the #ECOVIVA® Hotmelt Adhesive is optimized for cosmetics packaging, household goods, electronics, and other consumer packaging, and it effectively bonds challenging substrates, including paper to aluminum and paper to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (#ABS).


ECOVIVA® Hotmelt Adhesive is formulated with biomass content, including CJ Biomaterials’ proprietary amorphous #PHA biopolymer, PHACT™ A1000P. The adhesive is designed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to conventional #polyisobutylene (PIB) adhesives, and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) adhesives. The adhesive has also received DIN CERTCO (Germany) biobased certification.


This adhesive offers high cold resistance and enables adhesion at room temperature and under low pressure. The adhesive can also be applied using existing hot melt nozzles and rollers, and it is suitable for components of various shapes and sizes. In partnership with #COSMAX, the world’s leading cosmetics ODM (Original Development Manufacturing) company, PHA-based ECOVIVA® #HotmeltAdhesive is already in use in its packaging process for eyeshadow products.


“By matching the performance of conventional hotmelt adhesives while introducing renewable, biobased content, this PHA-based hotmelt adhesive gives #packaging manufacturers a more sustainable option for meeting their customers’ needs and increasingly demanding carbon and source reduction targets required by global climate and packaging frameworks,” says Max Senechal, Chief Commercial Officer at CJ Biomaterials.


#PHACT™A1000P is produced via the fermentation of plant-based sugars and is certified as biobased by DIN CERTCO and OK biobased 4-stars by TÜV AUSTRIA. It is a soft, flexible PHA that reduces brittleness and improves processability when combined with other biopolymers, delivering performance that is equal or superior to conventional petroleum-based polymers.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...

Anti-Oxidant masterbatches protect the polymer chain, stabilizing it against thermal and oxidative stress. They are essential in polyolefins, engineering plastics, and films that undergo long processing cycles, ensuring durability, color stability, and consistent performance. source : Polimerizze Technology
