Bio-based adhesive and coating for sustainable paper packaging
NuStic™ is a bio-based adhesive and binder made from naturally derived inputs, offering a sustainable and PTFE-free alternative for paper packaging applications. It ensures uniform adhesion and is compatible with water-based systems, supporting eco-friendly manufacturing.
Overview
NuStic™ is an innovative bio-based adhesive and binder formulated from naturally derived and repurposed inputs. Designed to offer consistent bonding performance, NuStic is suitable for both packaging and general-use applications. Its unique formulation creates a flexible and cohesive film that ensures uniform adhesion, controlled application, and refined handling compared to conventional synthetic adhesives. Being PTFE-free and environmentally sustainable, NuStic aligns with modern material selection priorities, providing a greener alternative to traditional binder systems.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Bio-based and green alternative: NuStic is formulated without petroleum-based components, PTFE, PFAS, or parabens, supporting eco-friendly manufacturing.
- Versatile application: It integrates easily into water-based systems and can be used as either a standalone adhesive or a formulation component.
- Substrate compatibility: Offers reliable bonding across a wide range of substrates, making it suitable for diverse applications.
- Potential performance improvements: Combining with natural polymers or wax dispersions could enhance water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), Cobb60 values, and T-peel strength, with targeted properties of WVTR: 16 g/m².24hrs, Cobb60: 20g/m², and T-peel = 15N/25mm.
Technology readiness level
NuStic has achieved a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 4. It has been successfully used in agricultural seed treatments, and plans are in place to further evaluate and optimize its performance in paper packaging applications. The proposal includes setting up necessary testing equipment and conducting comprehensive performance and stability studies.
