The Paper Converting and Packaging Adhesives Group of Worthen Industries supplies
adhesives and coatings to paper converters and general packagers of industrial
and consumer products.
We will not only offer you assistance in selecting the best adhesive for your
application, but we will also help solve your problems through technical assistance,
product performance and package integrity testing.
Originating
as Union Paste Company (UPACO) in 1866, we offer an extensive product line ranging
from simple starch based products to adhesives based on state of the art polymers.
We developed our products with consistent, problem free performance in mind to
maximize your productivity.
For paper and paperboard converting applications involving
films and foils, we manufacture products customized to our customers’ coaters.
We offer foil lamination adhesives to produce dry food pouches, wrappers for candy,
butter, and chocolate, label stocks, insulation wraps used in construction, and
many other laminated products. We offer adhesives for laminating heavy kraft or
converting paperboard. In addition, we produce specialty water-based coatings
used for book covers, overprint varnishes for multi-wall bags, and pre-applied
heat seal coatings.
For
carton or box forming, our group offers specialty water-based and hot melt adhesives
for difficult-to-adhere surfaces like chipboard with high-recycled pulp content,
gloss coatings, or polyolefin laminations, as well as standard products customized
for folder- gluers, whether applied by glue wheel, extrusion or atomizing nozzles.
For the food processing industry, we provide hot melt and
water-based adhesives used for labeling cans, glass or plastic containers, forming
trays and boxes used in meat, poultry, and vegetable packing, or for sealing cases,
cartons, or bags. For packaging operations, we supply water-based products and
hot melts for bonding almost any packaging material, from laminated cartons to
wax coated boxes.
In the tobacco industry, the Paper Converting and Packaging
Adhesives Group provided custom designed adhesives to cigar and cigarette manufacturers
for half a century. We manufacture a complete line of adhesives for tobacco rod
seaming, wrapping, tipping, labeling, and packaging.
The Paper Converting and Packaging Adhesives Group will not
only offer you assistance in selecting the best adhesive for your application,
but we will also help solve your problems through technical assistance, product
performance and package integrity testing, and custom formulation as needed.
