BAMFutura® 45 is a hotmelt adhesive based on special polyolefin-type polymers (also called metallocenes) which is applied hot. The adhesive is applied in a molten, liquid state and promotes almost immediate adhesion after cooling. The BAMFutura 45 is a fast-setting, highly heat-resistant adhesive specially developed for closing boxes in medium-high speed automatic machines and for closing boxes of vegetables and fruit. Due to its excellent thermal stability, it can be used at high application temperatures without loss of adhesive properties, without carbonization and with fewer machine stops for maintenance.

Application Area
Typical Applications

BAMFutura 45 is suitable for bonding standard boxes (such as boxes for the EOL End of Line market), and has excellent performance at ambient temperatures and high machine speeds. It is an adhesive with high thermal stability, which allows for lower maintenance costs and less machine downtime. The BAMFutura 45 has an affinity with many types of paper and corrugated, but as the variety of substrates in the industry is very high, prior adhesion/bonding tests are recommended to ensure that the adhesive meets the specific requirements.

Application Instructions

BAMFutura 45 should be applied between 150°C and 180°C. This temperature can be adjusted according to a few factors such as the amount applied, the substrates involved, the ambient temperature, and machine conditions such as compression time, among others.
