Evonik Industries, a global chemical company, develops and manufactures specialty chemicals for various products and markets worldwide.

Providing solutions to the packaging industry, Evonik’s Coating & Adhesive Resins Business Line offers DEGACRYL® HS, a range of methacrylic polymers for applications like dairy or pharmaceutical packaging.

DEGACRYL® HS binders are THE major ingredient for high-quality coatings and are known for their secure seal and smooth peel capabilities. DEGACRYL® HS not only offers direct adhesion to aluminum, PET and paper, but also seals to all common substrates, like polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene and many more – all while being free of styrene and PVC.

In order to reduce plastic waste, Evonik offers sustainable DEGACRYL® HS grades that enable NIR sorting of plastics and improve recycling efficiency by enabling mono material packaging. Furthermore, recyclability of paper packaging coated with DEGACRYL® HS is possible without having to compromise seal strength or barrier properties.
