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. The Pulmuone Company also displayed their commitment to sustainability by not only reducing organic solvents but also cutting carbon dioxide emissions. This company was Gold Award winner in the 28th DuPont Awards.
