Performance

without Compromise

Sun Chemical works closely with customers to develop tailor-made solutions that meet their evolving needs. Our nitrocellulose-alternative portfolio helps converters transition away from nitrocellulose without compromising on performance. Solutions are optimized to match the color gamut and stability on press of nitrocellulose-based products.

Built on proprietary resins, stable concentrates, and pigment expertise, our systems deliver consistent results tailored to the specific needs of flexible packaging converters.

Designed

for Sustainability

Nitrocellulose (NC) is increasingly being designated as incompatible with recycling processes. As extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation continues to expand globally, the need for more recyclable packaging becomes ever more crucial.

Sun Chemical’s nitrocellulose-alternative solutions follow leading industry design guidelines to support recyclability. Switching to these alternatives helps brand owners and converters produce packaging that is designed with compliance in mind, as well as mitigate potential EPR fees and taxation on the use of plastics.

Complete NC-Alternative Systems

for Flexible Packaging

A long-established, global leader in innovation, Sun Chemical offers the industry’s most comprehensive NC-alternative portfolio, including:

• Inks for surface and lamination printing (flexo and gravure) for flexible film applications
• Coatings that protect the package and its contents, while enhancing shelf appeal
• Primers for improved adhesion and better printability
• Lamination adhesives

All components are optimized to work together seamlessly as part of a complete nitrocellulose-alternative system.
