The Ibeslab range of hotmelt adhesives integrates different formulations designed primarily for use in the manufacture of containers and packaging, in complementary environments of graphic arts and plastics. The absence of volatile substances makes them ideal for use in safe environments such as the food industry, labelling, graphics, electronics, automotive and other demanding processes.
Dosing can be very precise by spray, roller, injector or other application systems. Leading manufacturers such as Valco-Melton, Nordson or Meler produce very sophisticated melting and application systems that allow control of the viscosity and fluidity of the adhesive from the melt pot to the substrate through the ducts where the temperature is also controlled. Once cooled, they return to a solid state in seconds, ensuring good cohesion of the materials to be bonded.
Depending on the type of material to be bonded, adhesive formulations are designed from the wide variety of resins and additives available on the market using polyurethane polymers, polyolefins, rubber, EVA, polyamide or polyester.
Product presentation can vary, depending on the resin and the application: in pellets, blocks, sticks, filament, etc.
They are solid adhesives, free of solvents, which melt by temperature, between 70º and 200º degrees centigrade, during their application. Their cross-linking by cooling takes place in a very short time, which makes them highly recommended for high-speed production processes where fast handling of the glued product is required.
For the bonding of irregular or absorbent surfaces where a high filling capacity is needed to ensure the bonding, this type of adhesive is the ideal solution. These adhesives are 100% solids and allow for the highest resin binding between the two substrates to be bonded.
Our range of hot melt adhesives, provides bonding solutions mainly in the paper and wood sectors. They are suitable for use in food packaging lines, as they do not contain solvents and can be used in any environment without environmental risks.
Yes, our ibeslab CT513 adhesive is recommended in this application where a small bead is applied to the mandrel holding the first turn of the paper, such as on abg Vectra equipment.
