Acrylic vs. Hot Melt Adhesive?

Acrylic vs. Hot Melt Adhesive?

If you are using Pressure Sensitive BOPP, there are two adhesives that dominate the market -

 

Water Based "Acrylic" Adhesive

This is a very popular, environmentally friendly adhesive, that offers -

  •  Superior Clarity - will not yellow over time
  • Can be applied from 32F up to 120F, once on the box offers good freezer performance
  • Has superior "Fiber Tear"  performance when pulled off box
  • Rohm & Haas offers the best Acrylic Adhesive and is available on Qspac's PA series

 

Hot Melt / Synthetic Rugger

  • Good choice for high speed machine application
  • Will yellow with UV & Oxygen exposure
  • Very good internal strength for springy box flaps
  • Shouldn't be applied below 40F

Qspac offers both Acrylic & Hot Melt  products. Very happy to discuss further with you.
