Enhance Liquid Glue Application in Winter

Image
  The key to successfully running liquid adhesives in the winter is proper conditioning. Conditioning is a process that involves bringing all components of the adhesive assembly as close to the ideal temperature and humidity targets as possible. Manufacturers can save time and money in the long run by using products recommended by expert  liquid adhesive manufacturers  and conditioning their adhesives, substrates, and workplace to get the most reproducible and highest quality results. It is also important to ship and store the liquid adhesives in ambient conditions. Sometimes a heated delivery service is not as efficient as you hope, which means that you should maintain your inventory at levels where you are not using the adhesive that just came off the delivery truck.

Prevent Stringing in Hot Melt Packaging

  The importance of product packaging is twofold: it helps to keep the contents safe and secure, and it provides an attractive product for the consumer. The packaging process is one of the most important stages of product manufacturing and distribution. With decades of experience as a  packaging adhesive manufacturer , Technical Adhesives Ltd welcomes the chance to share its expertise with its customers. In the flexible packaging industry, speed is a priority and hot melts are the technology of choice. The high production speed, however, can sometimes introduce a potential side problem called stringing. Stringing occurs when the extruded bead of adhesive does not completely detach from the nozzle tip which results in a fine string of adhesive that will interfere with the sealing process down the assembly line. These fine filaments can accumulate on the application equipment and give the appearance of what is described by users as stringing cob webbing, or angel hair. The main ...
