Abstract: An autofeeding low application temperature hot melt application system comprises a hot melt tank, a compact integrated auto feed, and operates at temperatures of not more than 260° F.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive based on ethylene-2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer finds use in packaging applications where high heat resistance, as well as good cold tolerance, is required.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive comprising an adhesive polymer and a modified rosin-terpene, preferably a phenol modified rosin terpene. The adhesive is particularly useful in packaging applications.

Abstract: Hot melt adhesives that contain an N-alpha olefin wax have substantially improved open times.

Abstract: A low application temperature hot met adhesive composition and its use in carton, case or tray formation comprising from about 5 to about 60 weight percent ethylene vinyl acetate with about 30 to about 50 weight percent VA content and having a melt index of about 700 to about 4,000 dg/min; a tackifier; and wax with a melting point of about 125 to about 180° F.

Abstract: An adhesive capable of reactivating upon exposure to radiant energy. The adhesive is pre-applied to a substrate and, when ready to use, reactivated upon exposure to short durations of radiant energy.

Abstract: High speed case and carton sealing lines for packaging articles. The carton to be packaged, i.e., filled and sealed, having disposed thereon an adhesive comprising an energy-absorbing ingredient that is capable of absorbing and reflecting radiant energy. The automated packaging machine comprises a means to reactivate an adhesive to effect sealing.

Abstract: A low application temperature comprising an ethylene n-butyl acrylate copolymer that can be applied at temperatures down to about 80° C. or less and is useful in case and carton sealing application.

The automated packaging machine comprises a means to reactivate an adhesive to effect sealing.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive comprising an adhesive polymer and a modified rosin-terpene, preferably a phenol modified rosin terpene. The adhesive is particularly useful in packaging applications.

Abstract: A reactivatable adhesive that may be used on high speed case and carton sealing lines contains an energy absorbing ingredient that is capable of absorbing and reflecting radiant energy.

Abstract: A low application temperature hot met adhesive composition and its use in carton, case or tray formation comprising from ethylene vinyl acetate with greater than 30 weight percent VA and having a melt index of at least 700; a thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin derived from styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, and/or vinyltoluene, and polymers, copolymers and terpolymers thereof; a compatible adhesive promoting tackifier; and wax with a melting point of about 130 to 170 .degree. F.; and optionally comprising ethylene vinyl acetate with less than about 30 weight percent by weight of vinyl acetate and having a melt index of about 400 to 2500.
