Packaging sealing system saves material, energy

H.B. Fuller’s Liquamelt® adhesive technology is a low-density adhesive system capable of delivering a cool, sustainable, on-demand, liquid rapid-set adhesive for packaging applications.

By Gretchen Edelbrock, Products Editor

An alternative to both conventional hot and cold adhesive systems, the Liquamelt system may reduce adhesive use by more than 50% compared with traditional hot melt adhesive technologies. Liquamelt adhesive also provides environmental benefits with its formulation that consists of 40% sustainable raw materials. The system eliminates the need for hot tanks and hoses while reducing energy consumption, compared with conventional hot melt systems.
Other benefits include:
• Temperature resistance from -40°F to 140°F
• Cool delivery – hot on demand technology means lower maintenance and replacement part costs
• Start-up in less than 20 minutes – driving efficiency and flexibility
