ADVANTAGES OF PRE-APPLIED HOT MELTS FOR CONTINUOUS ROLL LAMINATION

• Hot melts are applied to papers from 23 Gram to 185 gram and up to 62” wide.

• There is no formaldehyde in A.A.C.C. hot melts.

• Hot melts are 100% solids - NO plasticizers, solvents or water. Water based adhesives are typically 40-50% solids. When shipping water based adhesives, you are getting unusable water, therefore, the dry pound cost is twice the price paid.

• Hot melts are equal in surface hardness to water based adhesives.

• Hot melts do not cause grain raise. They help fill in voids in the surface of the board.

• Hot melts have a superior water resistance when compared to water based adhesives.  

• Hot melts can be laminated at over 150 F.P.M. You do not have to run slower to dry the adhesive.

• Hot melts make short and long runs economical.

• Hot melts are not affected by humidity.

• Hot melts do not require costly start up and shut down – You turn on the laminator and start to laminate.  

• Hot melt adhesives have less than 1% waste during lamination.

• Hot melts do not require drying time.

• Hot melt laminations do not require a space between board, thereby reducing waste.

• Hot melts cause no concern with trapped water.  

• Water based adhesives may require special permits for disposal.

• Hot melt adhesive coating is the responsibility of American Adhesive Coatings LLC.
