Why UV
Hot Melt?
Environmentally Friendly
- Traditional adhesives require solvents or water to act as a carrier for the adhesive which need to be reclaimed, burned or evaporated.
- UV Acrylic Hot Melts use ultra-violate lamps to cure the adhesive therefore eliminating the need for mitigation systems or long drying tunnels.
- This reduces emissions and lowers energy consumption.
Reduce Costs
- Without the need for large drying tunnels, incinerators or solvent reclaimation systems, the energy costs are a reduced.
- Without the aforementioned equipment, UV hot melt coating equipment is significantly lower capital investment.
- The simpler UV hot melt equipment requires only one operator to run the machine, reducing labor costs.
Increased Flexibility
- UV Acrylic Hot Melts can be formulated to achieve a variety of performance levels.
- Coat weights can be applied down to ~10gsm and well over 1000gsm
- With slight modification, most UV hot melt equipment can run standard PSA hot melts as well as EVAs.
Compact Machine Footprint
- Since UV hot melt coating equipment doesn’t require drying tunnels or solvent mitigation systems, the foot print is a fraction of the size of conventional solvent or water-based machines.
- Smaller machines give companies more flexibility, especially when floorspace is at a premium.
