answered our questions.
Can you describe what the
FoamMelt Technology is? Why
did Nordson decide to apply this
technology?
Since the introduction of the
patented Nordson FoamMelt
Process, foamed adhesives have
quickly won an important place
in assembly applications. They
have achieved much of their
remarkable success by out-performing
conventional hotmelts
and other methods of product
assembly. Although standard
hotmelts have many desirable
characteristics – fast set times,
ability to fill the gaps, and bond
difficult materials, absence of
solvents, and compatibility with
automation- they are not used
in many applications because of
their short open times, limited
bond strength, thermal distortion
or material costs. The FoamMelt
Process offers a way to overcome
or at least minimize many
of these limitations while enhancing
the positive characteristics
of conventional hotmelts.
As a result, foamed adhesives
are being used today in a wide
variety of manufacturing tasks,
replacing not only conventional
hotmelts but mechanical fasteners,
tapes and cold glue as well.
