Adhesives for Agile Design and Production

An agile manufacturing floor is essential to adapt rapidly to evolutions in disposable hygiene materials and equipment. Unfortunately, not all adhesive technology has kept up. In fact, some adhesives can actually limit the ability to incorporate new money-saving and performance-enhancing advancements. With newer substrates and elastics, manufacturers can experience distortion, burn through, overspray and bleedthrough. New materials can also create inconsistent adhesive performance across line application systems and equipment. And, though the new materials may offer the ability to reduce costs via improved change in operational parameters, such as lower temperatures or faster line speeds, these changes could result in a costly decrease in adhesive performance. Learn about a game changing new adhesive that offers you greater material and production flexibility.
