Low-Temperature, Hot Melt Adhesive

National Starch and Chemical Companymers in several large and well-known companies who have been using a low-temperature, COOL-LOK hot melt adhesive have found that usage can be reduced from 20°/o to 50% allowing for a significant cost reduction. Other customers accrue savings through dramatically lower replacement costs for applicator parts such as hoses, guns and nozzles. This can easily amount to thousands of dollars per year. Cost savings also result from reduced downtime and labor associated with nozzle clogging and parts replacement.

Still other customers appreciate this special adhesive because it does not form char. When consumer products need to appear clean and sterile, darkly colored adhesive is not acceptable. Charring frequently results when conventional hot melt adhesives that require heating to 350 degrees (176 degrees C) are used.

Conventional 350 degree hot melt adhesives emit volatiles that contribute to odors that plant personnel have had to live with until products such as COOL-LOK adhesive were introduced.

COOL-LOK adhesive customers appreciate the absence of odors associated with volatiles and charred adhesive.

COOL-LOK adhesives require heating to only 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and thus pose significantly less threat to plant personnel who might inadvertently brush against a heated tank or come in contact with the hot adhesive. In addition to reducing the chance of painful burns, companies and plant personnel benefit from less lost work hours.
