Eye-catching: Jowatherm-Reaktant® for the manufacture of clear folding boxes
For a pleasant visual effect of decorative packaging materials like clear folding boxes, one of the most important factors - apart from the strength of the material compound - is the almost invisible adhesive bondline. Entrapment or formation of bubbles within the adhesive during application and crosslinking reaction, and yellowing of the bondline are unacceptable.
Jowat AG has developed Jowatherm-Reaktant® 603.57, an adhesive which ensures a lasting visual attractiveness of the clear folding box, and which also provides superior strength to the material compound. During application, Jowatherm-Reaktant® exhibits a good flow performance, without bubble formation in the curing phase. Additionally, the innovative formulation has an excellent resistance to UV rays - no yellowing of the adhesive has been observed – even under excessive UV exposure. Apart from the fact that this adhesive forms a permanent high-strength material compound with all standard plastics (PET, PP or PVC), it also meets in its composition the regulations concerning food contact under EU10/2011 and FDA 175.105. Together with the high initial strength, a clean application without stringing - especially when applied by nozzle in contactless methods - is ensuring a problem-free and efficient manufacturing process.
