IMPORTANT FACTS:

 

Choosing your adhesive can be made easier with a little guidance. Important facts listed below, will help you choose a product that best suits your needs.  
 

EVA based hot melts have been the mainstay adhesives for years, particularly for end of line packaging and book binding. Mostly light tan in appearance, they are good performing products. 

Some formulations are available using white resins etc, adding cosmetic value where the bond line is visible. Favoured by book binders when spine gluing. 

 

Metalocene based hot melts are the latest generation in adhesive technolgy.

  • Greater Yield - These low density products weigh less than EVA. You simply get more product per kg.
  • Improved Adhesion -  Enables you to reduce application weight. Customers typically see adhesive consumption redued by around 25%.
  • Superior Pot Stability - (See illustration below).

We also supply a range of Pressure Sensitive adhesives for Labelling, Anti Slip Pallet Stabilization and Product Assembly.

These products are available in mini pillow format for fast melt and ease of handling.

Most products available from stock on 1 to 2 day lead-time.
