Santiago, Chile – 15 April, 2026 – Under the theme “Experience. Transformation.”, Sun Chemical will present its comprehensive portfolio of sustainable inks, coatings, adhesives and advanced services for the packaging markets on booth #C1 at Circlepack 2026, taking place April 14–16 at the Espacio Riesco Convention and Exhibition Center in Santiago, Chile.

Sun Chemical will demonstrate how its advanced technologies for packaging help brand owners and converters meet evolving sustainability, performance and regulatory requirements—without compromising print quality, productivity or shelf appeal.

A Comprehensive Sustainability-Driven Portfolio

Visitors to booth #C1 will learn about Sun Chemical’s sustainability strategy, built around the “Five Rs” (Reuse, Reduce, Renew, Recycle, Redesign). Along with the Life Cycle Analysis capability, the Five Rs guides the development of product solutions for packaging designed for circularity, safety and efficiency.

Sun Chemical will highlight a broad range of inks, coatings and adhesives for sustainable packaging technologies, including:

• SunSpectro^® SolvaWash™ FL+, a washable/ de-inkable solvent-based flexographic ink series that improves the recyclability of labels by enabling higher-quality recycled PET from bottle recycling streams.

• SunUno^® Solimax, a versatile multipurpose ink platform designed to maximize pressroom efficiency across multiple end-use applications. SunUno Solimax AP inks are Vinçotte–TÜV certified for “OK Compost” packaging and suitable for a wide range of plastic films, including applications requiring lamination and pasteurization.

• SunVisto® AquaGreen™, a water-based ink and coating series formulated with significantly higher levels of biorenewable resin content while delivering the performance required for paper-based packaging applications.

• SunBar^® Aerobloc oxygen barrier coatings, which enable lightweighting, extend shelf life and support packaging redesign by reducing or eliminating plastic layers and lamination. This solution is part of Sun Chemical’s broader family of functional barrier and energy-curable coatings and adhesives, including SunBar® Vaporbloc, SunSys Vallotemp, SunFuse Thermaseal, SunSys Vallogo, SunCure and SunBeam.

• SunColorBox, Sun Chemical’s comprehensive color management platform, combines tools and services that ensure consistent digital color communication across the packaging supply chain. By reducing ink waste, substrate waste and energy consumption, SunColorBox supports both sustainability goals and operational efficiency.

• SunSpec™ SunStar, heat seal adhesives, offering water and grease resistance and now available with home and industrial compostability certifications for paper-based packaging. Complementary, resistant, and barrier varnishes help converters prepare for evolving compostability standards.

• SunLam™, a family of compostable and lamination adhesives, including water-based and solvent-free technologies designed for flexible food packaging applications. Based on ultra-low monomer technology, these adhesives enhance safety for both operators and consumers.

• SunInspire™, special effect coatings, delivering premium shelf appeal for the brands, while supporting the transition to more sustainable packaging structures, without compromising safety or regulatory compliance.
• SunScreen, a real-time coat weight and lay monitoring system that improves application accuracy, reduces waste and enhances overall packaging quality—addressing a key sustainability and efficiency challenge in coating application.
• SunPak® DirectFood Plus sheetfed offset inks and SunSpec™ SunStar overprint varnishes, formulated with ingredients suitable for direct food contact. These solutions allow folding carton and paper packaging converters to eliminate plastic liners and inserts, improve recyclability and create new design opportunities by printing inside food packaging. Similar capabilities are available for water-based flexographic printing with SunVisto® AquaSafe inks.

“Inks, coatings and adhesives play a critical role in enabling sustainable packaging,” said Diego Vial, General Manager, Packaging & Graphics, Sun Chemical. “Beyond delivering strong visual impact, these technologies can directly support recyclability, compostability and material reduction. At Circlepack, we look forward to showing how our solutions help converters achieve their sustainability objectives while maintaining high performance on press.”
