Henkel has announced Technomelt Supra, hotmelt adhesive using a polymer that gives customers advantages, including extra-high yield and higher thermal stability.
Adhesives can be exposed to anything from prolonged sunlight to sub-zero storage temperatures to ensure bonded packages withstand a wide range of stresses before they are opened by consumers.
Henkel said that with much higher bond strength than conventional hotmelts, Technomelt Supra requires lower adhesive application, which significantly reduces product consumption.
It also has much higher thermal stability than conventional hotmelts. It doesn’t gel or char and treats applicators and nozzles gently, prolonging the equipment’s service life.
Henkel’s Technomelt Supra operates across a number of packaging applications, including carton and folding boxes, deep freeze, straw attachment, closure attachment, sift proof, tray erection, outlet wrapping, perishable wrapping, and bag closure.
