The Pulmuone Company has developed a commercial, water-based adhesive for retortable pouches, a first-known application in the industry. With this packaging, they overcame a temperature limit of 266 degrees Fahrenheit for water-based adhesive for retort. This improves packaging material safety by reducing organic solvents in expanded applications. A significant advancement, particularly for today’s discerning consumers, it assuages users who are concerned about possible organic material extraction at the high temperature procedure required for packaging retort products.
