Smart monomers for sustainable packaging
Ecolanka offers a tailored portfolio of high-performance monomers specifically developed for radical copolymerization for radical copolymerisation with typical vinyl monomers.
On-demand performance tuning with drop-in monomer additives
TLT1
7-thia-1-oxacycloheptan-2-one
CAS: 72037-38-8
A first-in-class degradable monomer that gives LDPE, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyvinyl acetate (PVA) controlled end-of-life. Added as a drop-in during polymerisation, it introduces orthogonal, stimulus-responsive linkages into the vinyl backbone to trigger depolymerisation on demand. Maintain mechanical and processing performance in use while enabling easier separation, recycling or biodegradation after service life. Ideal for films and flexible packaging, adhesives and coatings, foams, cables and moulded components.
TLT2
2,5-dihydro-1,4-dioxepine-2-thione
CAS: 2983470-69-3
This specialty drop-in monomer for debondable-on-demand acrylates and styrene-acrylates brings controlled end-of-life to high-performance packaging materials. It enables recyclable and sustainable solutions across flexible films, labels, laminates, adhesives, inks, coatings, rigid and semi-rigid packs, barrier layers, specialty films, industrial wraps and even food-contact applications — offering a drop-in path to circular packaging without compromising performance.
