New packaging and labelling hot melts at Packtech ’09

1 March 2009

Beardow Adams launched its latest BAMFutura hot melt adhesive at the Packaging Innovations 2009 exhibition held at the NEC, UK.

 
Its new BAMFutura 12 is a fast setting hot melt for high speed packaging lines, particularly carton boxes, typically running in excess of 200 cartons/minute.
 
Like other products in the BAMFutura range, with which Beardow Adams pioneered the concept of clean running, high quality hot melts for all packaging applications, the new hot melt offers versatile performance, high thermal stability and clean running, which, the company says, will lead to lower inventory costs, lower maintenance costs and lower downtime costs.
 
In common with all BAMFutura hot melts, BAMFutura 12 eliminates the odours and fumes in the production process associated with traditional hot melts through the use of high quality raw materials – as a result, they do not taint foodstuffs.
 
In addition to its ongoing BAMFutura developments, Beardow Adams promoted another quality, clean running hot melt – BAM 1726 for labelling.
 
BAM 1726 has been formulated as a high tack grade for labelling carbonated drinks on to PET bottles, where its cohesive strength copes with the expansion of bottles that are shaken or become warm.  It can be used on a wide variety of label stocks and containers.
