New adhesives for labelling: When the first impression counts

Detmold.- At this year‘s drinktec in Munich, Jowat AG is introducing innovative adhesive developments for labelling applications.

Whether labels made of plastics or paper, packaging units of glass or PET, application by nozzle or roller systems: The new labelling adhesives from Jowat AG allow efficient manufacturing processes while creating highly attractive labels.  

High-speed production steps – like labelling – demand adhesives with accurate application and immediate build-up of strength. And this even when the manufacturing conditions are very challenging, like high or low temperatures, or extremely moist environments.

Thanks to a very stable viscosity, the latest members of the Jowat-Toptherm® series ensure a constant and even adhesive application in wrap labelling processes, and this results in an attractive appearance of the labels. The same positive effect is reached when the adhesive is applied in dot form to make shrink labels resistant to twist effects. The label remains safely and evenly attached to the respective form of container.
These new adhesives are formulated without oils, which in combination with a low grammage prevents adhesive bleed-through even when paper labels are used that have a very low GSM. There will be no “soaking“ of the label caused by components of the adhesive – even when the labelled packages are stored for extended periods or subject to climate changes.

The Jowat-Toptherm® adhesives are convincing due to their resistance to thermal stress. The superior heat stability during processing almost entirely prevents cracking in the melt. In consequence, the cleaning intervals of the melt and applicator units can be extended considerably, which provides increased line efficiency.
These members of the Jowat-Toptherm® family meet the regulations and recommendations for food contact of the EC 10/2011, and FDA guideline 176.170, as well as the recommendations according to BFR XXV and XXXVI.
