Henkel has launched Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra, a high-performance hot-melt adhesive for the bookbinding industry. Suitable for all melting systems, the adhesive can be used universally for a variety of binding applications. Together with its high thermal stability, Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra helps bookbinders not only increase the products’ quality but also reduce costs.
Increasing Process Efficiency for the Bookbinding Industry
“
Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra integrates seamlessly into the Henkel product family for bookbinding applications between our PUR and EVA solutions. During development, we focused particularly on increasing process efficiency while cutting costs for our customers. This is especially important given the growing cost pressure in the industry,” explains Mario Eckers, regional sales director packaging adhesives at Henkel.
Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra is based on new polymers. Henkel has extensive experience in end-of-line applications and the spine glue market when it comes to the development of thermoplastics.
Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra – Universally Suitable HMA
Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra adhesive is universally suitable for all hot melt systems and; therefore, no changeover time is required on the equipment. The quality of the end products can also be checked immediately due to the adhesive’s high initial strength.
The newly introduced adhesive offers:
-
heat and cold resistance
-
improved flexibility
-
high strength, even on substrates that are difficult to process
-
low application weight and high yield to, deliver significant savings in terms of overall costs
The adhesive’s high melting stability also leads to less carbonization, allowing better machine utilization and shorter equipment downtimes through the reduction of cleaning intervals.
“
In ultra-modern hot melt adhesives, we have observed a growth of over six percent in the packaging industry over the last few years. This development highlights the advantages of changing from EVA to high-performance hot melt adhesives, which are evident in other industries, too. We therefore know that, with Technomelt GA 3980 Ultra, we are creating real added value for our customers,” added Eckers.
