ADMER adhesive resin is a modified polyolefin with

functional groups, designed to bond to a variety of
polyolefins, ionomers, polyamides, ethylene vinyl
alcohol (EVOH), PET, Polycarbonates, polystyrenes
and metals.
ADMER serves as a tie-layer in multi-layer structures
to combine the excellent properties of different
materials, such as gas barrier resins and moisture
barrier resins.
ADMER adhesive resin is available in pellet form
and can be used in a wide variety of coextrusion
processes for bottles, tubes, sheets and films. With
the appropriate choice of ADMER adhesive resin
based on the required adhesion performance,
processing conditions and other requirements, we
can promise an excellent solution to our customers
needs. Mitsui Chemicals Europe GmbH is ready to
discuss the opportunities ADMER offers you for
your specific needs.

Characteristics of ADMER
1. Strong adhesion
By thermal reaction ADMER adheres to Polyamide (PA),
EVOH, Polystyrene (PS), Polyester (PET, PETG),
Polycarbonate (PC), Polyolefins (PP, PE)
and metals such as steel and aluminum.

ADMER and bonded substrate demonstrate

excellent durability and thus can be boiled,
hot filled and retorted.

Cross-section of Multi-layer Sheet

3. Polyolefin-like properties
Since ADMER is based on polyolefins
or copolymers, it retains the physical properties
of each polyolefin or copolymer including
mechanical strength, heat resistance,
chemical resistance and recyclability.

4. Easy Processing
ADMER, a thermoplastic, can be
processed as easily as any other
polyolefin by the following methods:

coextrusion blow molding

tube coextrusion
sheet coextrusion
film coextrusion
(cast an blown film)

coextrusion coating
powder coating
metal coating
co-injection

5. Food Status
ADMER complies with following regulations or recommendations:
EC directive 2002/72/EC and/or its first amendment 2004/19/EC.
Status: 10th March, 2004.

ADMER is used in numerous applications as an

adhesive layer. When coextruded with a gas barrier
resin into tubes, bottles, sheets or films, those
products will serve as ideal food packaging acting as
a barrier against oxygen, flavor, odour and moisture.
This type of packaging is used for food, such as meat,
cheese, ketchup, mayonnaise, sauces, dairy products
and soups. Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are also
suited to these packaging products. Industrial uses of
ADMER are composite pipe and coated steel pipe,
as well as plastic fuel tanks and containers for chemicals. In addition, coextrusion coating of ADMER
with other plastics onto paper or foil offers further
opportunities in the food packaging area.
