VPF reports success with new Hotmelt portfolio

Following the commissioning of its new hotmelt adhesive coater, and after finishing several PSA tests and qualifications, German materials supplier VPF GmbH is reporting increasing demand for these products.

‘The amount of quantities with adhesive-free zones is extremely high in the hotmelt business of the company – just like in our standards products as well,’ said the company in a statement.

The company’s range of adhesive types now covers four rubber-based synthetics and four UV-curable, acrylic based hotmelt adhesives. ‘Additionally, customers are more frequently providing their own, highly specialized adhesives. The general percentage of customer-provided substrates and print carriers is also increasing, thus VPF is more often serving as a contract coater for other companies and consumers.’

At the moment, VPF is mainly supplying the tire and automotive industry with hotmelt products in combination with papers and synthetic print carriers, as well as customers, who are active in the fields of drum labeling or working with reclosable film labels.
