The global hotmelt adhesives market has evolved significantly over the past decade, due to increased consumer sensitivity to renewable feedstock-based formulations.

In this context, Icat has distinguished itself as a pioneer in the sector, being the first to develop innovative hotmelt adhesives for packaging (Icamelt RX) formulated with 50% of raw materials from renewable sources, the only real sustainable alternative to metallocene hotmelt adhesives on the market.

It has also recently launched a PSA hotmelt adhesive formulated with 90% of raw materials from renewable sources, completely soluble in water, approved by the PET cycle standard, a German system that guarantees the total recycling of PET used in bottling processes.

The Icamelt 3916/HS represents today a novelty in the market both in terms of sustainability and in terms of technology, being completely soluble in water and suitable for working on the latest generation automatic bottling systems.
