New hot melt Technologies

Colored adhesives from artimelt not only meet aesthetic requirements but also perform safety functions. For example, a visible colored adhesive conveys certainty. Or, by being a visibly different color, it shows that it is the right one, for example when different adhesives are used.

Colored artimelt hot melt adhesives are suitable for security applications, product marking, labels and adhesive tapes. Coloring makes it easy to see where the adhesive has been applied and uncoated or inadequately coated parts or areas can be rectified. We can develop the appropriate adhesive for the application, substrate or process and produce it in whatever color you want; corporate and logo colors are also possible.

Temperature-triggered, color-changing hot melt adhesives are nothing new to artimelt. They can be used in many different areas, for example, if temperatures fall below specified levels, adhesives used for packaging, labels, or adhesive tapes on containers can change color during transport or storage.

Under certain circumstances, reversible systems are ideal for this purpose, i.e. hot melt adhesives whose color can be returned to its original state. With irreversible systems, on the other hand, the color change cannot be reversed unnoticed, which is used, for example, on security bags in duty-free stores.
