Synthetics gaining new ground

20.9.2001

Raflatac’s synthetics business has been growing rapidly in recent years. Investment in machinery and quality improvement programmes – as well as Raflatac’s determination to be a key player in synthetics – has been an important factor in this growth.

The future looks synthetic
Synthetics are constantly gaining new ground because of the unique advantages they offer throughout the entire lifecycle of products and their packaging.

New kinds of end-uses, technologies and packaging solutions, and a number of economic and ecological factors, are creating demands that are often best met by synthetic labelling solutions.

Multi-use synthetic products
Raflatac offers a multi-use synthetic product portfolio backed up by a dedicated synthetic production capacity, experts in synthetics and an extensive sales and service network.

Cost-effective labelling alternatives are now being sought, particularly in the cosmetics industry. In addition to Raflatac’s well-known PE and PP face materials, something new is needed.

Raflex
Raflex –Raflatac’s thin and squeezable new product – answers this demand. Being a thin film, Raflex allows more labels per reel. Being light, it facilitates waste reduction.

Raflaclear
Raflaclear is also an ideal solution for cosmetics. It serves the need for excellent clarity in increasingly popular no-label look applications.

UV hot melt adhesives
UV hot melt adhesives are a new family of adhesives. Available now, they can be used in applications where water-based acrylics have their limitations. UV adhesives work well with applications such as wet wipes and pasteurizable labels etc.

Constant development
New products are under constant development. More information on Raflatac’s latest innovations will be available soon.
