Today cold seal adhesive systems used for flexible food packaging are often based on natural rubber latex, offering a unique combination of adhesion and cohesive strength in the required range but without tackiness. Unfortunately natural rubber latex solutions suffer from limited stability on high shear, high speed production lines as well as allergy, odor and quality variations that can be problematic. Synthetic alternatives usually do not meet the low tackiness requirements but Kraton® IR latex is the perfect alternative to natural rubber latex, keeping the required balance of desired properties while eliminating allergy, odor and consistency problems.
