Bostik, the adhesive solutions segment of Arkema, is bringing its flexible materials laminating adhesives and coatings together under a single global brand: ADCOTE™. In this edition of the Spotlight, the company shares all the details about this move.
A new step in Bostik’s development in flexible materials
Following the acquisition of Dow’s laminating adhesives and coatings business, Bostik has significantly expanded its flexible materials portfolio. This development represents an important milestone, reinforcing its position in the market and strengthening its ability to address the needs of flexible packaging and industrial applications with a broader and more integrated offering.
To reflect this expanded scope and provide greater clarity to its partners - converters, film producers, OEMs, and other stakeholders across the flexible materials value chain - Bostik is bringing its historical brands together under one name: ADCOTE™, while maintaining the same standards of performance and reliability across applications.
ADCOTE™ represents a complete portfolio of laminating adhesives and coatings for flexible materials, designed to deliver reliable, fit-for-purpose and more sustainable solutions with local relevance, globally. This approach is supported by close collaboration with partners to help drive performance and growth.
Building on a strong legacy: why ADCOTE™
Bostik has developed a solid presence in the flexible materials market through established brands such as HERBERTS™, M-RESIN™, and TURBO-SEAL™. The integration of Dow’s portfolio of laminating adhesives and coatings has further strengthened this foundation, notably with recognized names such as ADCOTE™ and MOR-FREE™.
With over 50 years of presence in the market, ADCOTE™ is a well-established name in flexible materials laminating adhesives and coatings, reflecting the breadth of Bostik’s technologies across both segments.
Building on this legacy, ADCOTE™ has been selected as the brand to unify and express Bostik’s global portfolio in a clear and consistent way.
It covers key laminating adhesive technologies, including solvent-based, solvent-free, and water-based systems, alongside sealing and coating solutions such as heat seal, cold seal, and reseal, as well as functional coatings.
Right performance. Right where you are.
With ADCOTE™, Bostik emphasizes a commitment to delivering not only consistent performance, but the right performance - solutions precisely adapted to each application, contributing to operational efficiency and optimized cost-in-use. This is supported by strong technical expertise and dedicated customer service.
At the same time, Bostik’s global footprint is not only about worldwide coverage, but about being right where customers are. With local teams on the ground, it brings together market knowledge, regulatory compliance and responsiveness to deliver the exact solution, in the exact place it is required, supporting both current needs and ongoing innovation.
One brand, one consistent experience
Through ADCOTE™, Bostik reinforces a clear and cohesive approach to flexible materials adhesives and coatings, focused on delivering solutions aligned with customer needs and local realities, through one unified global brand.
