BASF at interpack 2026: Adhesives for modern packaging concepts

BASF and its European distribution organization BTC Europe will present their broad portfolio for the packaging industry at the international trade fair interpack in hall 10, booth A 44. The focus will be on material solutions, product innovations and recycling‑friendly adhesive systems for the packaging industry.

Recycling has become one of the biggest challenges the packaging industry is facing today. At interpack 2026, BASF will be showcasing a broad range of adhesives that support packaging recycling within existing infrastructures and processes:

Water‑based Epotal^® lamination adhesives for easy separation of materials in PET‑based multilayer packaging and for producing safe recyclates from mono‑material films without harmful substances such as primary aromatic amines (PAA)
Label adhesives that can be easily removed from PET and glass bottles (acrylic hotmelt acResin^®) as well as from paper and cardboard packaging (water‑based dispersions Acronal^® RCF).

Our water-based Epotal^® lamination adhesives enable our customers to create flexible, durable and food-safe packaging with more sustainable end-of-life options.

EU Regulations: How to make your packaging PPWReady

With the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the flexible packaging industry is undergoing major transformation, bringing both challenges and opportunities. In the shift toward fully recyclable laminated packaging, water-based adhesive solutions offer a fast track to safety and compliance - not just for today, but for the future.

Label Adhesives

BASF’s broad portfolio of adhesives for labels combines performance with easy coatability and is safe in contact with food. With Acronal^® RCF and acResin^® UV 3532 we offer products which are easy to remove early in existing recycling processes.

Unlocking the premium no-label look for recyclable PET bottles

acResin^® UV 3532 has been approved by RecyClass to be compatible with established European recycling processes for PET bottles. During standard recycling processes, this UV-curable acrylic hotmelt can be removed reliably, enabling clean PET streams and supporting high-quality recyclate. This way, acResin^® UV 3532 opens up new opportunities to design recyclable PET packaging with high-clarity filmic labels.
