Mitsui Plastics has partnered with the Manchester Adhesive Innovation Centre to offer custom adhesives to the Americas.

Mitsui Plastic’s sister company MAIC develops high performance adhesives for coaters and laminators.  MAIC is fully owned by Mitsui & Co. ltd., who is known as one of the largest suppliers of adhesive raw materials globally, using MAIC we have the capability to physically develop and manufacture hot melt adhesives.  These adhesives offer unique properties that set us apart from competition including:

• Very high heat resistance hot melt adhesives
• High adhesion to both polar and non-polar

We also developed new hot melt acrylic technology (non-cross linking/no curing required) which offers some of the benefits of water based acrylic + hot melt technologies including  –  High SAFT, UV resistance, oxidative resistance.

Working hand-in-hand with our customers to develop customized solutions is at the core of our business, please get in touch today to discuss your specific needs, we look forward to creating a unique adhesive solution for your operation!
