Hot melt tank pressure impacts the rate of adhesive flow and amount of product being dispensed. Operators must manage the pressure setting, integrate set speed in the application and avoid adhesive build-up and overspray. Tank pressure is critical to efficiency on the production line.

Film and paste adhesives, wet peel-ply and potting compounds enable the aviation industry to utilize advanced materials that contribute to lightweighting, more efficient designs, and improved sustainability.

Introduced in the 1990s in footwear industry, Polyurethane Reactive Hotmelt Adhesive, so called PUR or PURHM, to react with moisture in the air and creates strong crosslinks, which enable them to deliver excellent bonding characteristics and durability. In adhesive technologies, PUR hotmelt is the popular solution for bonding applications relating to packaging and woodworking. 

If you want to produce sustainable hygiene products using natural based substrates, it is important to know the more diverse the substrates being used, the more demanding requirements on the bonding mechanism
