H.B. Fuller launches Advantra® 9280 EU and Advantra® BOLD™ 9480 adhesive grades with advanced hot melt technology for extreme cold storage of vaccines and medication packaging. Advantra® adhesives provide a secure bond at -70° C with tamper evident fiber tear.
Suitable for High-speed Pharmaceutical Packaging
Advantra® adhesives have been designed for tough surfaces and harsh conditions such as high-speed pharmaceutical packaging lines without counterpressure. Both adhesive solutions are commercially available in Europe, India, Middle East, and Africa (EIMEA) and with equivalent performance grades available globally.
The company has conducted a series of tests with several industry standard pharmaceutical packaging carton samples at H.B. Fuller’s Lüneburg Adhesive Academy, in Germany. The solutions have been carefully formulated for reliable adhesion on GC1 and GC2 type carton boards.
After extensive testing, H.B. Fuller’s Advantra® adhesives demonstrate tamper evident fiber tear on pharmaceutical packaging and confirmed fiber tear after seven days storage at -70° C and after reconditioning at refrigerator temperatures of 4° C (39° F). H.B. Fuller recommends pharmaceutical companies to conduct additional testing on their specific materials before commercial use.
