Adhesives and Flexible Packaging

ICR offers products at every stage of adhesive manufacturing and use. We offer some of the most basic materials forming the backbone of adhesive polymers, as well as many of the smallest concentrations of modifiers that help tailor their performance. We also offer many finished products that adhesive companies can re-label to add to their product lines.


Flexible Packaging


For the flexible packaging market, ICR offers an ever-expanding line of converting products. In this very competitive marketplace, the need for a global reach to find the most cost-effective materials is a must to maintain product performance and profitability. 

Adhesive & Elastomer Raw Materials

  • 1,5 Pentanediol (PDL)
  • 1,6 Hexanediol (HDL)
  • 1,12 Dodecanediol (DDL)
  • 1,12 Dodecanedioic Acid (DDA
  • A wide variety of Polycarbonatediols (PCD)
  • Specialty grade Polyvinyl Alcohol copolymers for emulsification stabilizers
  • Glycerol Carbonate and d-Valerolactone for manufacturing of surfactants

For Adhesive Manufacturing

  • Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA or PVOH)
  • Polyester prepolymers for hot melt moisture cure (PUR or HMMC)
  • Polycarbonatediols (PCD) for high flexibility and durability
  • Cyclo-aliphatic epoxy monomers for UV coating and electronic encapsulation
  • 4-Hydroxybutylacrylate (4-HBA) for UV adhesives and coatings
  • 1,4 Cyclohexanedimethol Monoacrylate for UV adhesives and coatings; exhibiting exceptionally fast cure, high flexibility and a Primary Irritation Index of 0.7 (water = 0)
  • Isocyanate Modified Epoxy Resin (IMER)

Finished Adhesives and Coating Products

  • Two-component, all polyester, 100% solid adhesive for flexible packaging lamination
  • Single component, water-based acrylic adhesive with superior humidity resistance for flexible packaging laminations.
  • Polyvinylidine Chloride (PVDC) water-based latex and solvent-soluble resins for high gas and humidity barrier coatings; for aroma, CO2, O2, MAP gas flush materials.
  • Urea Formaldehyde Scavenger
  • Reducing formaldehyde emission from Urea Formaldehyde glue to meet CARB II, F**** and Super EO standards has been a challenge. This Formaldehyde Scavenger is derived from innovative and proven technology without sacrificing mechanical properties. Feeding of this scavenger requires only minor modification in most of the resin feed system. This is another example of green chemistry.
