Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (TOKYO: 4183; President&CEO: Tsutomu
Tannowa) announced the successful development of XSP series of
ChemipearlTM which is a high performance “Water-based Heat Seal
Coating” for pharmaceutical blister packaging. ChemipearlTM XSP
will provide an environment friendly alternative for existing
solvent based heat seal coatings, which contain around 70-80% of
organic solvent. In India, most of the converting companies which
produce coated aluminum lid foil release the solvent directly to
open air, causing environment pollution. ChemipearlTM XSP will help
converting companies to reduce the VOCs (Volatile Organic
Compounds) emission significantly and indirectly help
pharmaceutical companies to reduce their carbon footprints and move
towards sustainable packaging for a better society.
