The partnership agreement signed by both companies in 2011 led to a breakthrough lactide caprolactone copolymer for hot melt adhesive applications. 

Perstorp and Corbion jointly announce a successful breakthrough innovation –  a new lactide caprolactone copolymer that delivers major benefits in hot melt adhesive applications.

Resulting from a partnership agreement both companies signed in 2011, the product is part of Perstorp’s Capa Lactide. Two companies are market leaders in their respective fields of caprolactones (Perstorp) and lactides (Corbion). The new material is expected to be the first in a series of innovations for the adhesive industry.

The new product has a renewable content exceeding 80% and is fully compostable – providing adhesives manufacturers with a new technology to improve food safety aspects of packaging and at the same time meet the growing demand for more sustainable products.

According to Corbion’s Senior Vice President Biochemicals, Marco Bootz, the new material represents the culmination of two years’ joint development work with Perstorp and will create a strong technology platform for the development of polymers that provide a genuine alternative to traditional materials like EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) and mPE (metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene) for the adhesive industry.
The partnership delivers adhesives manufacturers with a competitive advantage through safe innovative materials that combine high performance with reduced environmental footprint, said Håkan Björnberg, Vice President Innovation at Perstorp.  

The new Capa product is expected to be commercially available in the final quarter of this year and will be brought to market by Corbion.
