Transportation

“On the road with artimelt” is another way to describe transportation applications. This sector has many different demands, from foams and hook & loop solutions, to assembly tapes or mats that meet high requirements.

A classic application example is foams that are used in the engine compartment of vehicles as noise insulation. Hook-and-loop applications are also typical and there are also a range of assembly tapes for the automotive industry. Other applications include carpets and rubber mats for buses and trucks where a wide variety of materials have to be bonded.

Other applications:

  • Seals and closures
  • Assembly of floor coverings in signaling systems
  • Bonding foams and felts
  • Temporary bonding
  • Anti-slip bonding

 

Specific product characteristics

artimeltbasic

Room temperature

Hot melt adhesives with artimeltbasic properties are the starting point for your room temperature applications. They are also available in color, depending on the requirements.

 

Industries

artimeltuvcured

UV crosslinkable

UV hot melt adhesives with artimeltuvcured properties are irradiated (“crosslinked”) with UVC light to give them the required adhesion and shear resistance properties. Since UVC light is not part of the natural light spectrum, no post-crosslinking can occur during application. Different adhesion properties can be achieved by varying the UV irradiation intensity when crosslinking the adhesive. High internal strength (cohesion) is achieved by strong crosslinking of the adhesive, while high adhesion values (adhesion) are achieved with less UV radiation.

In industrial applications, UV-crosslinked hot melt adhesives are suitable for permanent or removable, resealable and repositionable labels, as well as for adhesive tapes. Due to their high UV stability, they can be used for outdoor applications without any problems.

 

Industries

artimeltecoline

Bio hot melt adhesives

Hot melt adhesives with artimeltecoline properties combine the two specific properties of artimeltbiobased and artimeltrecyclable. Significantly, all hot melt solutions developed with these properties consist primarily of renewable raw materials and are recyclable. Compostable adhesives represent the next challenge.

artimeltbiobased

Sustainable bonding

Hot melt adhesives with artimeltbiobased properties (both pressure-sensitive adhesives and non-PSA) are characterized by high sustainability. At least 50% of the raw materials used are renewable and bio-based. Depending on the application, the proportion of renewable raw materials can even be higher than 90%.

These adhesive solutions are developed to your specific requirements and are particularly suitable for paper and film labels for bags, pouches and packaging materials made from renewable materials as well as for self-adhesive finishes for plastic products made from renewable sources.

artimeltpermanent

Almost indestructible

For some applications, it is crucial that an adhesive is (almost) impossible to remove. Hot melt adhesives with artimeltpermanent properties meet this requirement. These adhesives exhibit exceptionally good adhesion to a wide range of different surfaces.

 

Industries

artimeltlasermarkable

Clear labeling

If the authenticity or integrity of an end product is extremely important, then artimeltlasermarkable hot melts, which can be labeled or marked using laser technology, are the ideal choice. They enable the quick and easy labeling of serial production or one-off items on the fly. It is also possible to combine various security elements. artimeltlasermarkable is based on classic hot melt formulations to which an additive is added. The labeling can be lasered directly onto the adhesive or through a transparent substrate. The innovative hot melt adhesive meets EU and FDA guidelines in accordance with food regulations.

Technical Details

artimeltlinerless

No release liner material

artimeltlinerless is an attractive and environmentally friendly solution. Linerless labels have a number of advantages: additional labels per roll significantly reduces transport and storage volumes, as well as machine downtime; and by not having a liner, large amounts of liner waste are saved.

Hot melt adhesives with artimeltlinerless properties developed for your application are based on synthetic rubber and are extremely easy to process on hot melt coating equipment. They also demonstrate outstanding cutting properties on a range of thermal printer systems.

 

Industries

artimeltsurface

For demanding surfaces

Hot melt adhesives with artimeltsurface properties are suitable for difficult surfaces. Depending on your application, this may involve smooth or painted surfaces, metal, LSE or plasticized films, or even coatings and varnishes containing silicone. Certain substrates have low surface tension which negatively affects the adhesion of ordinary adhesives. Your adhesive with artimeltsurface properties is characterized by very strong and even increasing adhesion over time. These labels or adhesive tapes cannot be removed from the surface without damaging it: either the label is destroyed, or the adhered surface is affected.

Suitable for:

  • Pharmaceutical packaging
  • Tamper-proof labels
  • Round adhesives
  • RFID security labels
  • Sealing tapes for envelopes and security bags
  • Tapes for construction applications

 

Industries

artimeltcolored

Coloring

As the name suggests, the distinguishing feature of hot melt adhesives developed for your application with artimeltcolored properties is color. For example, simply through its visibility, coloring makes it easy to see where the adhesive has been coated. Uncoated or insufficiently coated parts or areas can therefore be screened out. Or the color of the adhesive clearly shows it is the right one, e.g. when different adhesives are used. Almost all color variants are possible, including corporate and logo colors.
