Ultra FoamMix PH Tank Systems
Description
The Nordson Ultra FoamMix PH Tanks offer a userfriendly
solution to improve mechanical properties of
adhesives and provide material savings with a variety of
high-performance materials.
Preferably non-critical adhesives which do not react
with oxygen including PSAs are foamed by injecting
low-pressure gas into the molten adhesive. Foaming
without chemicals ensures materials retain their
basic physical properties and is a sustainable for the
environment.
Straight-forward PLC controls use a user-friendly
touch-screen programmed to display and operate in
local languages. And, the Ultra FoamMix Tank controls
easily integrate with the parent machine controls.
Gas content of foamed materials can be adjusted
to control mechanical properties such as material
durometer, compression set resistance and flexibility.
Low-pressure gassing allows use of various gas supplies
including inert gases or compressed air (depending on
material).

Advanced Application Technology
The Nordson Ultra FoamMix process dramatically improves the performance of most hot melt adhesives by
mixing them with gas, creating a homogeneous solution. As the material is dispensed, the gas expands to create
a closed-cell foam. The foamed material is applied like the more conventional approaches, but provides the
following benefits:
• Reduced adhesive consumption of up to 50 percent.
• Increased open time provides greater process flexibility.
• Faster set time for increased line speeds and production rates. Labor is reduced and less warehouse space is required for inventory.
• Volumetric increase for greater gap filing capabilities.
• Improved wetting increases the ability to bond impervious surfaces and enhances application versatility.
• Lower heat density helps reduce heat damage while improving operator safety.
• Reduced sagging or running for uniform adhesive thickness.
• Increased penetration creates stronger bonds and results in fewer rejects.
