Michelman to participate at Specialty Films & Flexible Packaging Conference

Bill Magee, group director of Michelman’s Printing & Packaging division will talk on ‘Breakthrough Technology - Water-Based Coatings – A Sustainable Alternative.’

 

In his presentation, Magee will discuss possible health and safety hazards associated with using solvents, including the risk of solvent retention in food and pharmaceutical packaging, and show how water-based technology can reduce risk and produce better performance characteristics. The company will also showcase value adding solutions for label and packaging designers and printers; label, flexible packaging and folding carton converters; as well as brand owners. 

 

Highlighted at Michelman’s booth will be its DigiPrime primers and DigiGuard overprint varnishes formulated specifically for printing labels and flexible packaging substrates on digital presses. 

 

Michelman’s Michem Flex HS-series heat seal coatings balance low initiation temperatures with high ultimate bond strength, while its broad selection of functional coating additives includes Michem Emulsion and Michem Lube that are added to water-based flexible packaging coatings to maximize the efficiency of form, fill and seal operations.
