Hot melt adhesives provide customers in every industry sector with uniquely versatile, high performance solutions.
As specially formulated preparations, hot melt adhesives can be tailored to adhere strongly to most materials including metal, plastic, rubber, ceramic, glass, wood, paper, leather, fabric and foam. Unlike less advanced adhesives, hot melts can also be used with confidence on hot, cold or wet surfaces.

Offering clear commercial benefits…
This unrivalled versatility has made them the adhesives of choice within a diverse range of markets from packaging, labelling and woodworking to product assembly, bookbinding and converting. In addition, hot melts offer a number of clear commercial benefits. They are non hazardous, low in odour and before being used are 100% solid, making them clean and safe to handle. Where several adhesives may currently be used, these can also often be replaced with one hot melt adhesive to save time and money.

Our BAMFutura labelling adhesives provide exceptional adhesion and are ideal for labelling chilled and ambient products. Combining high molten tack with long open time, they also perform perfectly with wet glass and PET cold filled bottles. In addition, PET bottles that expand after being filled with carbonated drinks can be labelled with confidence. Here, our adhesives either slip to accommodate expansion whilst securely adhering the label or they allow the label to stretch (OPP labels) to avoid unsightly sticky glue lines. We also manufacture adhesives for shrinkable plastic bottles that allow labels to be safely heat shrunk after application.

Our hot melt adhesive formulations for labelling are suitable for wet and cold bottles on both reel and magazine fed systems, or hot and dry cans and jars to 85°C. These can typically contain preserves, vegetables, fruit, pet foods and other products that are cooked or sterilised in their containers prior to labelling. Spray application adhesives meanwhile allow labels to be applied to over 1,000 containers per minute, whilst keeping machines clean and free from stringing and overspray. This is in addition to the consumption savings and other benefits provided.

With the environment in mind, our alkali dispersible adhesives can be quickly removed to support bottle recycling and refilling. In addition, hot melts can be supplied in our revolutionary EcoBlock™ format to eliminate on site unwrapping and waste.

We have labelling adhesives for the following applications: Wet Glass, PET, Shrinkable plastic bottles
