Jowat bonds foam for sweet dreams: New Jowat adhesive for mattress manufacture

Detmold.- Jowat AG, one of the leading international manufacturers for all industrial sectors, is introducing a new member of its comprehensive product portfolio. An adhesive developed specifically for assembly operations of mattresses. This new hot melt from the product family of Jowat-Toptherm® is convincing due to its remarkably easy processing and handling, and also ensures a fast and permanently stable material bond.

New: Jowat-Toptherm® for mattress manufacture

This newcomer to the product group of Jowat-Toptherm® adhesives was developed specifically for industrial mattress manufacture. It exhibits a low processing viscosity, which allows excellent wetting on flexible foam elements, wood-based substrates, cover materials, innerspring cores, and padding like felt and nonwovens, hessian and coir. In spite of its low viscosity, it is characterized by a high green strength and very fast build-up of strength, and this perfectly balances the tensile stresses in the material compound. Contrary to the normal and expected behaviour of thermoplastic hot melts, the new adhesive provides at the same time excellent wetting properties due to the low processing viscosity, and a superior cohesion.

The high green strength allows much shorter cycles for the subsequent pressing step of the mattress cores, and results in increased production speeds and efficiency.

Thanks to the wide processing window, Jowat-Toptherm® is suitable for the combination of a wide variety of materials for all standard mattress assembly products including those with high tensile stress levels.

Processing with most common manual and automatized methods is possible,
e. g. by spray, bead and roller application.

Forces exerted on the material compound after the finish processes of the mattresses – for instance when these are rolled up during packaging – are also well compensated for by Jowat-Toptherm®.

The formulation especially developed for this application achieves a permanently soft and durable bond, matching the highest levels in quality and comfort.
