Hot-melt adhesive systems comprise versatile performance hot melts and applicators with auxiliary equipment for continuous use in industry (Figure 8.50). Hot-melt adhesives with 100% solids content have been developed from solvent-free thermoplastic hot-melt resins. In the molten state, they are capable of wetting a surface and of developing a strong bond by means ofheat dissipation, […]

Postcuring polyurethane hot melts are solvent-free, one-part, moisture-setting adhesives with a solids content of 100%. They rapidly build up strength resulting in a high initial tack (as do conventional hot melts), and this is followed by a postcuring that results in a high structural strength. These adhesives offer good flexibility and resistance to impacts as […]
Cyanoacrylate Adhesives

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are colorless, solvent-free, rapidly polymerizing and coldsetting one-part structural adhesives. The moisture contained in the air initiates curing, while light pressure contact generates a thin film that sets within seconds, making these adhesives particularly well suited for small and plane surfaces. Activators can be employed to accelerate the curing process or to enable […]

One-part and two-part structural adhesives are solvent-free and cured under the effect of heat (one-part adhesives) or at room temperature (two-part adhesives). The curing process oftwo-part adhesives can be accelerated by heat (e. g. a temperature of 65 ° C for 120 min). Structural bond strength can be achieved with versatile high-performance epoxy resin, polyurethane […]

Adhesives and double-sided adhesive tapes provide for a firm connection between dissimilar materials. With one-part and two-part adhesives, structural bond strengths can easily be achieved at room temperature, even on low-energy surfaces such as PE and PP. The adhesives perform tasks that previously were reserved for mechanical joining techniques, such as joining by screws, riveting […]

Adhesive bonding is gaining ground in modern production processes in small-scale industries, handicraft trades and in the do-it-yourself sector. A wide range of products has become available for the adhesive bonding of most different materials under most different conditions and impacts. A wide spectrum of pressure-sensitive rubber-, acrylate — and silicone-based adhesives for the purposes […]

Among the multitude of statutory regulations applying to industrial processing, food-law regulations, such as the European Framework Regulation 1935/2004, are of particular importance for packaging adhesives because many packages are used for foodstuffs. A wide array of raw materials is available for the formulation of adhesives that comply with food law requirements, such as the […]
Compostable Products

Composting represents another option allowing the material loop of products made from organic materials to be closed. Biological degradation of the material allows the products to be reconveyed to a form that is useful to Nature. Especially in the packaging sector, this is an attractive option, in particular when packages are contaminated with food residues. […]

Today, packages made from plastics are also recycled on a major scale. As with paper recycling, the adhesives used for plastic packaging are required not to disturb the recycling process. As a wide variety of different recycling methods is available for plastics, the adhesives must meet manifold demands. The most established method starts with washing […]
