High Performance
at Low Coat Weights
A range of heat-activated coatings designed to be used as sealing layers for paper, film, foil, and other container materials
Mica's heat-sealable coatings offer varying peel strengths and characteristics for a range of direct and indirect food packaging applications. Some offerings can act as surface modifiers in certain structures. Let's work together to find the product that meets your performance needs and desired seal conditions.
MICA G-680
MICA G-680 is an aqueous heat-seal coating used to seal paper, metalized film, and aluminum foil to itself.
MICA HME-104
MICA HME-104 is an aqueous emulsion designed as a heat-sealable grease and water-resistant coating. It functions as a moisture barrier for paper. It can also be used as a seal/peel modifier to polyethylene extrudate.
MICA HME-118-B
MICA HME-118-B is an aqueous emulsion designed to function as a sealing layer for lidding applications. It can be web coated by conventional means or pattern-applied on a press or coater. This general-purpose grade adheres to most films such as OPP, OPET, OPA, and PLA plus aluminum foil and paper. It also adheres to common container materials such as PE, PP, APET, PVC, PVDC, PLA, aluminum, and paper. It has some adhesion to PS and HIPS.
MICA HME-120-B
MICA HME-120 is an aqueous emulsion designed to function as a low COF sealing layer for lidding applications. It can be web-coated by conventional means or pattern-applied on a press or coater. This general-purpose grade adheres to most films such as OPP, OPET, OPA, and PLA plus aluminum and paper. It also adheres to common container materials such as PE, PP, APET, PVC, PVDC, PLA, aluminum, and paper. It has some adhesion to PS and HIPS.
MICA HME-160
MICA HME-160 is an aqueous emulsion designed to function as a sealing layer for films, foils, and paper. It can be web-coated by conventional means, or pattern applied on a press or coater. This coating adheres to olefinic container materials such as PE and PP.
MICA HME-261
MICA HME-261 is an aqueous emulsion designed to function as a sealing layer for foils and paper. It can be web-coated by conventional means, or pattern-applied on a press or coater. This coating adheres to aluminum foil and paper.
MICA M-2824
MICA M-2824 is a water-based acrylic coating designed to promote face-to-face heat sealing of foils and paper. Substrates, especially paper, that are coated with MICA M-2824 exhibit excellent printability.
MICA MC-140-A
MICA MC-140-A is a water-based heat-seal coating designed for non-woven applications. It has great adhesion to non-woven materials and can be used as an ink-receptive topcoat for barcode labels.
MICA MC-634
MICA MC-634 is an aqueous emulsion that passes the ASTM D6400 standard for compostability. It is designed to function as a sealing layer or adhesion promoter applied to paperboard substrates for adhesion to PLA and PHA resins and films. It may also find use as a primer applied to paper, and bio-based metalized and non-metalized films, for adhesion of PLA and PHA extrudates.
MICA T-598
MICA T-598 is a water-based coating designed to promote face-to-face heat sealing of films, foils, and paper. It has a low coefficient of friction (COF), high gloss, high transparency, and a low heat seal temperature.
MICA TC-124
MICA TC-124 is a water-based coating designed to promote face-to-face heat sealing of films, foils, and paper.

Key Attributes
of Heat-Sealable Coatings
Water-Based
In 1971, we were among the first to introduce a water-based primer to the flexible packaging industry. Today, we are the global leader in water-based primers, coatings and adhesion promoters.Heat-Activated
Our heat-sealable coatings create bonds when exposed to heat.
Face-to-Face Sealing
Some MICA heat-sealable coatings can seal to themselves.
Varied Peel Strengths and Characteristics
Our heat-sealable coatings can provide different levels of peel strengths and characteristics depending on the desired application.Application Examples
