As a partner in the development of packaging adhesives, Jowat SE is recognized for its forward-thinking solutions. With the Green Adhesives range, Jowat SE aims to enhance packaging processes with a focus on ecological aspects while meeting the diverse demands for sustainable bonding. Key considerations include the use of bio-based raw materials, resource-efficient manufacturing, and compatibility with recycling and the circular economy.

For example, Jowat’s hot melt adhesives, Jowatherm^® GROW 853.20 and Jowatherm^® GROW 853.22, utilize resins derived from by-products of paper production, ensuring they do not compete with food resources. Jowatherm^® GROW 853.22 boasts a certified renewable raw material content of 51%, offers broad adhesion capabilities even on challenging surfaces, and demonstrates excellent cold flexibility, making it ideal for deep-freeze applications.

For energy-efficient packaging processes, Jowatherm^® PO 851.99 stands out. This adhesive can be processed at just 99°C, enabling energy savings of up to 45% during the gluing process. It also features versatile properties and a wide adhesion spectrum, ensuring safe packaging of temperature-sensitive products like chocolate, as well as dry or fatty foods with long shelf lives, all while being free from MOAH (below typical detection limits).

Another focus at the trade fair will be on Jowatherm^® PO 851.10 and Jowatherm^® PO 851.20, popular adhesives well-regarded across the industry. Jowatherm^® PO 851.10, also MOAH-free, is a top all-rounder known for its high yield, clean processing, reliable bonding of difficult surfaces at various temperatures, and its ability to meet stringent food safety requirements. Jowatherm^® PO 851.20, meanwhile, impresses with its high heat resistance and initial strength, making it the go-to choice for high-temperature environments, the packaging of hot goods, and bonding materials with significant tension in short press times.

Across all Jowat packaging adhesives, from the development stage onward, there is a strong emphasis on optimized string behavior, ensuring particularly clean processing during packaging. This reduces contamination of system components and packaging, lowers maintenance costs, and prevents unnecessary material waste.

The Jowat SE team eagerly anticipates engaging discussions about sustainable and optimized bonding processes at Fachpack in Nuremberg, Hall 2, Stand 229.
