PSA hot melt (Pressure Sensitive Adhesives) are specially formulated to deliver exceptional performance when used with permanent and peelable machine applied labels. 

Intercol manufactures grades that provide high tensile strength, high and low peel adhesion, good clarity and exceptional UV resistance whilst handling temperatures ranging from -50°C to +100°C. As a result, labels can be relied upon to securely bond paper, metal foil, plastic film, fabric and non-woven labels to the most difficult glass, paper, board, metallic and ceramic surfaces.

Hot melts are mostly known as thermoplastics, unlike waterbased products, hot melts have 100% solid content. Hot melts are used because:

• It is fas setting
• It has a large bonding range
• Easily processing

PUR  hot melt

Where most hot melts are thermoplastic and have their limitations in e.g. building purposes, PUR hot melts may be the better solution. PUR hot melts in general give a stronger bond on constructive materials such as wood and metal, and are farr less sensible to heat and chemicals, because PUR is reactive. Disadvantage of PUR hot melt is their price and difficult workaround.

New generation hot melt adhesives

Especially for food packaging applications, the new generation
hot melt is available, with these advantages:

• non coaling
• non fuming
• less stringing

And are easy reducing adhesive consumption.

All these properties ensure endusers to realize a more efficient and cheaper production process. Hot melt Futura 1 runs on more than 90% of all food packaging applications!

A new benchmark in performance. It was a quiet revolution. But, a revolution, none the less. In 1998, Intercol launched the ground-breaking Futura range of hot melt adhesives has established a new benchmark for performance in countless packaging, labelling, woodworking and bookbinding industry applications.

PUR en thermoplast

In beginsel zijn er twee soorten hotmelts, te weten thermoplastische hotmelts en (vernettende) PUR-hotmelts. Het voordeel van PUR hotmelts is dat ze meer warmte en chemicaliën bestendig zijn, nadeel is de moeilijkheid van verwerking. In de praktijk worden meestal thermoplastische (EVA, PE, PA) hotmelts ingezet (verpakkingen, bekledingen, stickers etc.). Bij specifieke eisen m.b.t. chemicaliën en hitte kan men richting PUR-hotmelts gaan denken.

Thermoplastiche PUR Hotmelt

Thermoplastische Polyurethaan hotmelts zijn zeer specialistisch en daarom alleen op aanvraag verkrijgbaar.
