Companies join forces to offer improved performance in industrial adhesives

Add technologies is the concept of ADECOL, national industrial adhesives manufacturer, which has wagered in strategic partnerships with other manufacturers to develop products tailored to specific demands and develop new solutions for the most varied industry segments. "We seek partnerships involving both parties to offer a higher quality service to the client, both in customer service, technical support and new technologies," says Alexander Second, commercial Director of ADECOL.
Among the main partners are manufacturers of coleiros, machines used for the application of industrial adhesives. The adaptation between adhesive and machine from product customization to certain demands until the nationalisation of machinery produced outside of the country, which needs an adhesive with special formulation to suit the Australian climate. "The major equipment manufacturers are generally located in Europe and United States. Because of the colder climate, industries are air-conditioned and feature humidity control, facilitating the application of adhesives, since these variables are pretty controlled. In Brazil, most companies is not heated, so it's up to the sticker be prepared to make that tradeoff and extract the best performance of the coleiro, "explains the Director.
In addition, the various industry niches also need adapted products. "Where there is need for glue, there is one type of machine to apply it. In the graphic arts use machines for gluing of covers of notebooks, handle, side and bottom of bags, spine of books and magazines, binding. In the furniture segment found machines for gluing Board tape, lamination and coating of profiles, gluing of panels, collage of furniture in General. Non woven segment we can speak of glue applicators for building the diapers and absorbent. I.e. they are totally different and demands that require custom stickers, "says Second.
A recent example is ADECOL's partnership with the BOBST, which manufactures the equipment EXPERTFOLD 110. "It is one of the fastest and flexible machines available on the market, and therefore needed an adhesive made especially for her. It was a successful project, presented and proven in several fairs across the country. Besides the product developed, we did a great job of training and support with the entire team BOBST, showing the main benefits, care and accessories with the stickers on the machine, "he says.
A strong partnership between manufacturer of adhesive and provides machine on top of everything else, a collective and coherent technical support from both parties. But, according to the Director of ADECOL, with the correct adhesive, applied correctly and with the proper adjustments, taking into account the temperatures of application and technical information, the chances of production problems are much smaller, resulting in less machine stops and greater economy. "The market calls for new technologies, but at the same time want to optimization, practicality and ease in the procedures, and rapid resolution of potential problems. This merging of experiment provided by partnerships between adhesive and machine can go far beyond, and offer an even more premium service for consumers, "concludes.
