Michelman adds Michem Lube 160RPH

Michelman has launched a new water-based, wax emulsion additive, Michem Lube 160RPH, designed to control the coefficient of friction (COF) of flexible packaging coatings without compromising bond strength, heat seal, barrier or printability properties.

The latest addition to Michelman’s family of Michem Lube products is compliant with specific FDA and EU food contact regulations on a wide range of substrates including paper, film and aluminum foil

Michem Lube 160RPH is compatible across a large pH spectrum from pH 1 to 12, and therefore can be used in a wide range of coatings including Michelman low temperature heat seal coatings as well as common acrylic and PVdC types. 

The latest addition to Michelman’s family of Michem Lube products is compliant with specific FDA and EU food contact regulations on a wide range of substrates including paper, film and aluminum foil. It is also APEO and formaldehyde-free, and does not contain residual solvents.

Michem Lube 160RPH is manufactured in the USA, Belgium and Singapore, and is available globally.
