BAM Futura 1 Case Sealing and Packaging Adhesive

product overview

BAM Futura 1 has been proven to be an excellent universal carton and case sealer. It performs well on the slowest case packers and the fastest carton sealers (160 cartons per minute-typical), in both cold winter and hot summer conditions. In storage, the case/carton will retain bond integrity at high ambient temperatures and low storage temperatures.

The “pearl white” of BAM Futura 1 highlights its quality, giving such benefits as low odour, non-fuming and non-tainting, very important in food packing environments. It has the highest level of thermal stability of any hot melt adhesive, which prevents nozzle blockages caused by the build up of char or gel. BAM Futura 1 is clean running on jet, wheel and dauber systems and together with the excellent thermal stability cuts machine downtime to an absolute minimum. BAM Futura 1 has been formulated to give a medium to short open-time, high molten tack and a fast speed of set. These characteristics, together with excellent adhesion to a wide range of boards, high heat resistance and low temperature resistance makes BAM Futura 1 the 1st choice in carton and case sealing applications.
