Henkel, Nordmeccanica Host Scrap Reduction Workshop

EDGEWOOD, N.Y.—Nearly 60 flexible packaging attendees, including many major converters in North America, attended a recent Scrap Reduction Workshop co-hosted by Nordmeccanica and Henkel at Nordmeccanica’s U.S. headquarters.

During the workshop, attendees witnessed a lamination run demonstrating the easy processing and long pot life of Henkel’s new robust laminating adhesive system, Liofol LA7773-21 with Liofol LA6016-21. The run was followed by three demonstrations, each focusing on one of three adhesive attributes that prevent scrap: long life, fast cure, and robustness.
