ADMER® adhesive resin is a modified polyolefin with functional groups, designed to bond to a variety of polyolefins, ionomers, polyamides, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), PET, Polycarbonates, polystyrenes and metals. ADMER® serves as a tie-layer in multi-layer structures to combine the excellent properties of different materials, such as gas barrier resins and moisture barrier resins. ADMER® adhesive resin is available in pellet form and can be used in a wide variety of coextrusion processes for bottles, tubes, sheets and films. With the appropriate choice of ADMER® adhesive resin based on the required adhesion performance, processing conditions and other requirements, we can promise an excellent solution to our customers’ needs.

ADMER® is used in numerous applications as an adhesive layer. When coextruded with a gas barrier resin into tubes, bottles, sheets or films, those products will serve as ideal food packaging acting as a barrier against oxygen, flavor, odour and moisture. This type of packaging is used for food, such as meat, cheese, ketchup, mayonnaise, sauces, dairy products and soups. Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are also suited to these packaging products. Industrial uses of ADMER® are composite pipe and coated steel pipe, as well as plastic fuel tanks and containers for chemicals. In addition, coextrusion coating of ADMER® with other plastics onto paper or foil offers further opportunities in the food packaging area.
