The Functional Packaging portfolio includes materials that can be formulated for many applications and performance attributes such as grease, moisture, water resistance, ink adhesion, heat-seal lidding, direct food contact, low migration inks and OPV, high gloss, printability, low VOC and low odor, styrene free or bio-renewal content.
Energy cure
BASF offers a broad portfolio of high performance, high quality oligomers, and reactive diluents for a wide variety of energy cure inks, overprint varnishes and coatings for UV/EB curing. Laromer® oligomers determine the main properties, such as flexibility, adhesion, hardness, chemical resistance, etc., of an ink or coating. Laromer® reactive diluents are primarily used to achieve viscosities suitable for specific applications and, with careful selection, will maintain the key properties of the formulation.
