Three close appointments, three trade fairs (Ligna, interzum and Interpack) which at Jowat, the adhesives manufacturer, served to once again shine the spotlight on sustainability, on products with an ever decreasing environmental impact. At Ligna and interzum, Jowat shone the spotlight on a portfolio of sustainable, state-of-the-art products optimised for processing and bonding applications in the production of furniture and building elements.
“Visitors were particularly interested in the new biobased PUR hot melt adhesive “Jowatherm-Reaktant Grow 657.40” for edgebanding and the biobased PVAc dispersion adhesive “Jowacoll Grow 105.85” for gluing and laminating solid wood,” the company explained in the post-event press release. Both adhesives contain a high amount of biobased raw materials, more than 20 per cent. “Visitors were also interested in “Jowatherm Grow 853.22″ for the sustainable packaging of furniture components, interior doors and engineered wood or laminate flooring: the biobased hot melt adhesive combines a high content of renewable raw materials, more than 50 per cent, with high cold resistance and a very wide adhesion range. Another key point on the agenda of many visitors was safety at work”.
Jowat”s “Jowatherm-Reaktant Mr” product line already provides a wide range of powerful adhesives with hazard-free labelling, enabling processors to avoid the additional training requirement of EU law as of August 2023. Sustainability, in all its different forms, was also the main theme of interpack. The fair focused on holistic approaches to increase efficiency and sustainability from start to finish. In this case, Jowat “…convinced visitors with its performance and process-optimised low-temperature adhesives“. “Jowat-Toptherm 851.99” is a hot melt adhesive optimised for packaging processes that enables significant energy savings due to its low processing temperature of 99°C and above.
