Sun Chemical announces new solventless lamination solution

Packaging Solutions

Sun Chemical has collaborated with HP to launch sustainable flexible packaging produced with Indigo digital press and a new solventless lamination solution SunLam.

Due to its fast curing, ultra low monomer and solvent free properties, SunLam can help brands improve their sustainability and expand the circular economy.

As part of the partnership, the two companies developed stand up pouches printed on an Indigo 25K digital press using monomaterial polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) substrates, and laminated with the SunLam solution. The all PP pouch was certified by Germany’s Institute Cyclos-HTP after being successfully tested for a recyclability rate of 96%.

The PE and PP laminated structures were produced using SunLam Adhesives ZA-1000+ZB-301 on standard mono materials with lamination on the Nordmeccanica Super Simplex E-800 solventless laminator.
