Are applied to papers from 23 gram to 185 gram weight and up to 62" wide.
Do not require the posting of "CANCER WARNING" signs. There is no formaldehyde in A.A.C.C. hot melts.
Are 100% solids - no plasticizers, solvents, or water.
Are equal in hardness to PVA or UF.
Do not cause grain raise. They help fill in voids in the surface of the board during lamination.
Have superior water resistance when compared to PVA or UF adhesives as tested per the KCMA sponge test.
Allow you to laminate at over 100 FPM. You do not have to run slower to dry the adhesive.
Make both long and short runs economical.
Are not affected by humidity.
Do not require costly start-up and shut-down procedures when laminating. Simply turn on the machine and start laminating.
Have "zero" waste during lamination.
Always arrive in usable form; Liquid adhesives can arrive frozen.
Require less energy; No drying is required.
Require less ventilation.
Do not require heated storage to protect their shelf life.
Cause no concern with trapped water.
Are 100% solids. Water-based adhesives are normally 40-50% solids, therefore the dry pound cost is twice the price paid.
Do not generate any hazardous waste. In contrast, water-based adhesive waste requires special permits for disposal.
Are the responsibility of American Adhesive Coatings Company. This allows you to focus on your core manufacturing process.
