Beardow Adams - Unique in hot melts


Alkali dispersable adhesives for labelling

Bottles with labels removed by alkali washWe have developed special hot melt adhesives for reel and magazine fed plastic and paper labels, where recycling of the bottle is required.

The labels and adhesive are easily removed using a weak alkali solution, allowing PET or glass bottles to be refilled, after washing, or recycled.

The adhesives are applied at low temperatures and also accommodate the expansion of PET bottles containing carbonated beverages.

Contact us or your local distributor to identify the adhesive grade best suited to your application requirements. Find you local distributor on our 'Global Network' pages.
