Versatile bonding of hot melt adhesive

20 July 2010 – Forbo’s new low-temperature hot melt adhesive offers versatile bonding, reduced costs and improved health and safety, claims the company.

 

The new Swift-therm Advantage 7733 packaging hot melt adhesive has a low application temperature of around 100°C. As a result, it offers reduced downtime due to fewer blockages and reduced expenditure on replacement pumps, hoses, nozzles, etc. It also means reduced energy costs because less heat is required, a reduced risk of severe burns to operators and less workplace odour.

 

Additional benefits when compared to traditional EVA-based hot melts includes strong adhesion across a wide operating window of around minus 25°C to +40°C.

 

Because there are no “tie-ins” to specific application equipment, manufacturers can start using it on their existing appropriate equipment right away.
