One of the most inventive manufacturing companies came to use to help in the design of a new window. This innovative product does not require the expense and time of structural reframing for installation. Our goal was to find a structural adhesive and adhesive application method to hold the glass in the frame that provides superior strength, impact and durability in all types of environments. Through extensive product testing, the window uses a pressure-sensitive hot melt to bond the glass to window frames made with specifically compounded polymers that inhibit UV degradation. [more]
A corrugated box plant was experiencing continued failures with boxes that had a coating on the inside. The failure stemmed from the lack of suitability of the homopolymer based adhesive they were running. Over the years, rising costs forced them to changeover from a copolymer product to a homopolymer product. The homopolymer products worked great on all of their uncoated corrugated boxes which constitutes about 75% of their business. However, this cost cutting measure had a negative effect on the performance with these coated boxes and caused major production slowdown on a daily basis. Since all of their boxes run on the same assembly, it was essential that they find an adhesive that would work on all their boxes. [more]
An existing customer of ours (we supply hot melt glue for their packaging) came to us to solve a growing problem with adhesive. The company manufactures household scrubbing pads. For the past year or more, the glue they used to laminate two different kinds of foams together developed delaminating issues and production slowdown. Before coming to us, the company went to their pad adhesive supplier asking for a solution. Unfortunately for them (but new opportunity for us), this large national adhesive supplier was unwilling to step in and solve their problem…We brought in an industry adhesive solutions expert to their plant to look at their entire lamination process. Working with this expert, we formulated a new glue specific to their unique adhesive applications. [more]
