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-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 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-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.

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.
