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.
