The new resin family reportedly addresses consumer concerns associated with odor, volatile organic compounds, and trace chemicals, particularly in hygiene products.
Eastman launched Regalite™ UltraPure hydrocarbon resins, a new class of clean tackifying resins, at the recent 2019 European Adhesive and Sealant Conference & Expo in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The new resin family reportedly addresses consumer concerns associated with odor, volatile organic compounds, and trace chemicals, particularly in hygiene products.
“When a parent opens a pack of diapers, the last thing they want to smell is chemicals,” said Ramya Ramaswamy, Eastman’s global marketing manager for hygiene and packaging. “We are doing our part to enable that via the introduction of this new class of resins. The need for products that meet these higher expectations without sacrificing performance is a challenge for adhesive formulators. We’re proud to say that Regalite UltraPure can help them achieve these goals.”
