What Is An Adhesive?

• An adhesive, or glue, is a mixture in a liquid or semi-liquid state (as used) that adheres or bonds items together.

• Adhesives may come from either natural or synthetic sources and nearly all are polymer based – most are highly specialized and formulated.


History of Adhesives• The original adhesive was developed by

the caveman, who made glue out of animal hides and proteins.

• Water-based adhesives (also known as

PVAc, White Glue or Resin Glue) were invented in Germany during World War I. It is the key ingredient in Wood Glue and Elmer's Glue.

• Hot Melt Adhesives (also known as EVA's or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) were invented around 1900, and perfected after World War II during the development of automated packaging lines.

Water-based Chemistry


Ingredients Chemistry Purpose Polymers polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate-ethylene,

polyvinyl alcohol adds strength and toughness

Water H20 acts as the diluent for polymer emulsions and disperses or solubilizes additives

Plasticizers benzoate ester, non-phthalate typesincreases tack, increase speed of set, improve adhesion, lower the Tg for more flexible films, reduce heat seal temperatures and improve water resistance.

Solvents high boiling alkyl-based fugitive plasticiers, improve adhesion, improve set of speed, reduce minimum film forming temperature

Humectants urea, glycerine prevents skimming, improves film flexibility, slows set of speed, extends open time

Fillers clay, calcium carbonate lowers cost, reduces penetration, alters rheology, reduces cold flow

Surfactants non-ionic, anionic wetting agents, foam control

Defoamers Alkyl & oil based foam control

Thickeners polyacrylate, polyurethane alters the viscosity of a given product, can be used as rheology modifiers

Adhesion Promoters polyamine, metal chelators adds specific adhesion to difficult surface

Preservatives Biocides, fungicides prolongs the shelf-life of the product

Dyes/Indicators Food Grade Colorants, Black Light Indicators alters the color, or UV absorption of the adhesive film

Water-Based Adhesive Applications

Adhesive Applicating Systems

Circulating System used for continually applying and re-applying adhesive, typically in a rotary based application system.


Non-Circulating System is used to apply both cold water-based and hot-melt adhesives. A non-circulating system essentially comprises a parallel series of guns, each one attached to the main tank by individual hoses. The adhesive is pumped to each gun though the hose, and the adhesive is applied by the nozzle of the gun.

Hot-Melt System – Same as above but with an additional requirement: melting the adhesive. The most common configuration for melting devices is a tank melter, or essentially a large pot or tank in which cold adhesive can be added and melted into liquid form.


Cold-Glue System - hoses pump the fluid adhesive to applicator heads which apply the adhesive to the substrate in bead, spray, or droplet form (depending upon the requirement) by means of attachments or special configurations on the applicator heads.

Less is More – Optimizing Adhesive Use


• Reduce the amount of adhesive applied, no matter the technology.

• Ensure the adhesive is applied in the specific bonding area and matches both the surfaces being bonded and the application equipment applying the adhesive.

• Use the latest and best equipment and know-how for applying the adhesive.

• Optimize the overall gluing process.

Adhesive Sustainablity


Key Particle Components are:• Relative performance strength of the

chemistry of the adhesive.• Relative recyclability of the product.• Manufacturing Efficiency of the

Product.• Renewability.• Biodegradability-Compostability-

Repulpability.• Overall Energy Conservation – from Raw

Material to Adhesive Manufacturing to Adhesive User – detailing the Energy Used and Waste Material Generated. “LESS IS MORE APPROACH”.

Sustainable Adhesives Use A Combination of Appropriate Chemistry and Technology, Manufacture Adhesives in the Most Efficient Manner Possible and Optimize Adhesive Use.

Key Questions to Ask Before Recommending Adhesives


1. What is the End Use Product being Made?

2. What substrates are involved? Bonding What to What?

3. How will the Adhesive be Applied?4. How is the End Product being Made

now?5. What is the substrate temperature when

glued?6. What is the application temperature?7. What is the Open Time, Compression

Time?

The 10% Difference – Because of WizAssure’s 10% less density you:

Lower Cost/Unit

The 25% Difference – Because of WizAssure’s superior bonding to paper and paper board and superior runnabililty you:

• Reduce Pressure• Use Smaller Size Nozzle

Orifice

Reduce usage by 25% simply by:

Lower Cost/Unit

Another 10% Difference: Savings on equipment replacement

Eliminating Equipment Breakdown and Replacement Parts

Lower Cost/Unit

WizAssure Cost Savings Calculator

• WizAssure cost is X• EVA cost is 75% of X• When using WizAssure

– Deduct 10% for density = 90% of X– Deduct 25% SAVINGS for superior

runnability allowing for as good or better bond = 65% of X

– Deduct 10% for equipment = 55%

Total WizAssure cost perunit of usage is 55% of Xvs.EVA 75% of X

Real Life Lower Cost/Unit Example

Account Summary: Purchasing EVA Product for $1.45/LB. Bonding corrugated boxes and cartons on Kraft, TiO2, SBS and Some Printing Stock.

– WIZASSURE SELL:• Selling Price of $1.99/LB.

• However, density 10% lighter vs. EVA (take off $0.20/LB of selling price – so now $1.80/LB). Same size bead.

• Mileage due to much improved adhesion, reduce bead size by 25% turning pressure down 10-15 psi (take $0.40/LB off selling price – so now $1.40/LB) AND adhesion is as good or better.

• Improved Equipment Costs due to no charring, Estimate savings of 10% on parts/labor (take off $0.20/LB – so now $1.20/LB). Viscosity stability at temperature is key factor.

– Once on WIZASSURE, no need to ever go back! Competition does not pitch this because they don’t have it!

Make Money – Sell WizAssure!

Who’s Beaten WizAssure?

RE-ASSURING- THE BEST SOLUTION

Once a customer tries WizAssure they never go back to their old adhesive. WizAssure has never been beaten.

System• Nordson Adhesive Filler


Feeding WizAssure


The Nordson ProBlue® Fulfill® system is an integrated adhesive melter and autofill system that refills melter tanks, eliminates manual filling, adhesive spilling and dry tanks. It contains a built-in sensor that alerts the system to add small quantities of adhesive when the melted adhesive reaches a certain level.

Utilize The “Less Is More” Approach to Applying Adhesives

• Use WizAssure metalocene based hot melt technologies:

• lower density• improved mileage at lower

deposition

• Optimize bead size:• use 1/3 less material• produce strong bond with less

adhesive

• Utilize adhesive “Zipper Stitch” application:

• series of micro beads are applied across the surface to provide a strong seal.

• provides a perfect, uniform seal across the sealing area.


Future Packaging Trends •Intelligent Packaging

• traceability • Conformability• hybrid flexible/rigid packaging

•Greenhouse Produce Packaging• Hermetically produced fresh fruit and vegetables harvested on a

year basis (vs. seasonal) require precise packaging and consistent adhesive performance.

•A specially-formulated WizAssure adhesive was developed for this type of end-of-line packaging.

•Lower Density Olefin Based Hot Melt Products•Economical Copolymer Technology For Glued Lap And Laminating

Both technologies embrace the less is more method and green use of adhesives approach, further enhancing the two most major adhesive developments for packaging and paper converting applications in the last 25 and likely next 25 years.
