TRUSTED ADHESIVE PARTNERS

Practical adhesive solutions. Responsive support.
Technical expertise. People who care.

Start with what you are trying to make, seal, bond, wind, coat, or assemble.

You may know an adhesive by the job it performs rather than by its chemistry. You may call it packaging hot melt, extrusion glue, tube-winding adhesive, peel-and-seal adhesive, front gum, padding compound, or simply “the glue we use on this line.”

That is a perfectly good place to begin.

Explore the six application groups below to see how we support manufacturers with practical adhesive technologies, application equipment, and technical guidance built around the way they manufacture.

Helping Paper Tube Manufacturers Create New Value with In-Line Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Technology

Working together, our team evaluated the entire application—not just the adhesive. By combining HAR's application expertise with ITW Dynatec adhesive application technology, we developed an innovative in-line solution that applies hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive during the tube winding process, before the tube is cut to length.

Why Manufacturers Are Switching from Electric Applicator Heads to the ITW Dynatec BF MicroBead System

In manufacturing, the best technology is not always the most expensive technology. More often, it is the technology that delivers the best combination of performance, reliability, serviceability, and total cost of ownership.
