The Adhesive for Harsh Conditions—With Extra Power

When ambient temperatures exceed 40°C, boxes are stored in the blazing sun or the packed goods themselves are still very warm, almost all hot melt adhesives reach their limits. At a certain point, the adhesive no longer manages to dissipate the heat quickly enough, to solidify, and thus to absorb the tension of the flaps. This results in the flaps opening up again. The challenging conditions, such as those encountered when filling drinks or sauces, packaging tiles, or in pasteurization processes, are mastered by Jowatherm® PO 851.20. This high performance polyolefin (PO) hot melt impresses with its extremely high heat resistance combined with very high green strength. This makes it the first choice not only for particularly warm environments, but also for processes where very high tensions and very short pressing times occur.
