P|12 Progress purposes. Their performance spectrum is the result of a successful interplay of viscosity, application tempera- ture, open time and chemical composition. For exam- ple, when foils with high resilience properties are used, the adhesive needs to provide a superior level of initial strength. The “green” strength develops immediately after transfer of the adhesive from the foil onto the pro- - nation process while cooling down to ambient tempe- rature. Cohesion will then build up in the course of the subsequent crosslinking, which is triggered by humidity. have undergone almost complete cure.

The foil materials are also changing. Apart from PVC foils, we see acrylates and polyesters as bases. This wide material range is not a problem for Jowat adhesives – we can easily keep the pace. considerations result in the expected higher line speeds – our products are already formulated with the ade- quate potential.
