Henkel Adhesive Technologies is launching Loctite Liofol LA 7837/LA 6265, a solvent-free, aliphatic adhesive system that is tailored for applications involving high thermal stresses – in particular retort packaging for pet food, for example. The system combines the highest level of food safety with reliable processing and also helps to reduce CO₂ emissions by lowering material consumption and eliminating the need for an energy-intensive drying step, which is required for products containing solvents.
