Hotmelt Adhesive Technologies
Industrial hotmelt adhesive technologies for packaging, carton and case sealing, labelling, bookbinding, woodworking and general production-line applications.
Hotmelt adhesives provide rapid bond formation and immediate handling strength, making them suitable for continuous manufacturing processes where controlled application and efficient production are important. Genkem assesses the materials, application equipment, line conditions and finished-product requirements before recommending a suitable hotmelt technology.
Hotmelt Solutions Across Industrial Production
Genkem manufactures hotmelt adhesive technologies for corrugated packaging and carton manufacturers, food and beverage packers, automated packaging operations, container-labelling lines, bookbinding and print-finishing operations, paper and board converters, woodworking manufacturers and selected industrial assembly processes.
Packaging, Carton & Case Sealing
Fast-setting hotmelt technologies for carton closing, case sealing, box forming, tray erection, corrugated-packaging assembly, folding-carton applications, paper-bag side seaming and related end-of-line packaging processes.
Hot-Pick-Up & Container Labelling
Hot-pick-up adhesive technologies for paper-label attachment, metal-container labelling, initial label positioning and high-speed labelling operations.
Bookbinding & Print Finishing
Hotmelt technologies for book-spine bonding, binding of paper sections, selected side-gluing applications and manual or automated print-finishing processes.
Edge Banding & Woodworking
Hotmelt systems for furniture edge banding, board-to-edging attachment, veneer lamination, decorative-surface attachment and selected automated woodworking processes.
Glue Sticks & General Assembly
Hotmelt glue-stick technologies for manual application, short production runs, packaging and presentation assembly, paper and board bonding, product positioning, display manufacture and selected light industrial assembly.
