Choosing the Right Hot Melt in the Packaging Industry
Carton type, line speed, initial adhesion, storage conditions and Jowat product groups for hot melt selection in packaging production.
Why is adhesive selection critical in the packaging line?
In the packaging industry, adhesive is a critical component for the shipment safety of the product and the continuity of the production line. Fast initial adhesion, clean application and stable consumption are aimed in parcel, cardboard, box and packaging applications.
Line speed and initial hold
In high-speed lines, the product must be closed in a short time. For this reason, the open time, viscosity and initial holding power of the hot melt product must be appropriate to the production rate. Insufficient adhesion may cause the package to be opened, and excessive consumption may lead to an increase in cost.
Cardboard and surface effect
Recycled cardboard, printed surface, coated material or different weights may change adhesive performance. Ambient temperature, storage time and shipping conditions should also be taken into account in the selection.
