2-Ply Laminate (PET / PE)

PET film unwinding and web tension control -> Reverse printing of the PET web -> PE film preparation and corona surface treatment -> Solventless two-component polyurethane adhesive mixing -> Solventless adhesive coating and lamination nip -> Curing of the bonded laminate

3-Ply Laminate (PET / Foil / PE)

PET printing and unwinding -> PE film preparation and corona treatment -> Solventless two-component polyurethane adhesive mixing -> First lamination: adhesive coating and PET-to-foil bonding -> Second lamination: foil-laminate to PE bonding -> Curing of both adhesive layers -> Converting to reels, sachets or pouches

3-Ply Laminate (PET / MET-PET / PE)

Blown-film extrusion of PE sealant film -> Vacuum metallization of PET film to PETmet -> Printing of the outer web -> Solventless adhesive lamination 1: PET to MET-PET -> Solventless adhesive lamination 2: bonding of PE sealant film -> Curing -> Slitting and inspection

4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate (PTBCHA / Vertenex)

hydrogenation of 4-tert-butylphenol -> acetylation of 4-tert-butycyclohexanol

AEO 1 – C12-14 fatty alcohol ethoxylate, 1 mole ethylene oxide per mole alcohol

Fatty alcohol charging and pre-treatment -> Ethoxylation reaction (1 mole ethylene oxide addition) -> Neutralization and purification -> Finishing and packaging

AEO 3 (fatty alcohol ethoxylate, ~3 mol ethylene oxide, oligomer distribution)

Fatty alcohol refining and drying -> Catalyst addition -> Ethylene oxide addition (ethoxylation reaction) -> Post-treatment and finished product testing

Acetaminophen (paracetamol)

Nitration of phenol to p-nitrophenol -> Reduction (catalytic hydrogenation) of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol (PAP) -> N-Acetylation of PAP to acetaminophen

Acetic Anhydride

Methyl acetate synthesis (esterification) -> Carbonylation of methyl acetate -> Separation, purification and recycle

Acetic acid (glacial)

Methanol carbonylation -> Separation and purification
