Reduced adhesive consumption
10% lower density and enhanced bonding performance allow significantly lower consumption
Direct adhesive consumption typically 20-40% less, depending on application.
Excellent thermal stability
No gel or char formation resulting in reduced maintenance requirements
Significantly reduced maintenance costs e.g. tank, hose, filters and nozzles.
Outstanding viscosity stability
Adhesive runs continuously without the need to adjust machine settings
Reduced operator intervention. Machine can be set for optimal adhesive dosage and placement.
Optimal jetting performance
Consistent bead size and placement with less stringing or tailing.
Reduced machine downtime for cleaning.
Improved package appearance.
Volatile freeNo generation of odour or fumes
Improved working environment.
PLASTOMELT 9473 is an EVA-based hot melt adhesive, suitable for a wide variety of end-of-line packaging applications and perfectly matching the requirements for all standard hot melt application equipment.
EXCELTA 844 is a premium metallocene hot melt adhesive with excellent jetting properties,
especially developed for tray erecting, carton sealing and box closing on high speed machines
and on many different substrates.
Both metallocene and EVA-based products
are available to cover most application and
machine requirements in the fields of tray
erecting, case and carton closing.
