Indian laminating adhesive maker Brilliant Polymers introduced its Max Cure M5411/M599 solvent-free adhesive system at the ElitePlus 2026 summit in Mumbai, offering faster curing and a wider application window for flexible packaging converters. The company, which operates a 60,000-ton-per-year plant in Maharashtra, said it is preparing a further capacity expansion to be announced later this year.
