Adhesive Application Evaluation and Recommendations

Increase line speed, decrease bonding and tack inefficiencies, and mitigate bottle and container label bonding instability through an adhesive evaluation by our technical service team.

We can also help you manage adhesive overuse and underuse by making recommendations based on current product needs and avoid bottlenecks due to using the wrong glue or having inefficient adhesive equipment.

If you are considering a new product or a change in production, you can also work with APPLIED Adhesives on a pilot automation testing process. With this capability, APPLIED Adhesives simulates production line variables, allowing you to keep your lines running. Once a suitable solution is agreed upon, you can have confidence that a line demonstration will have minimal impact on your production.

Lab Testing Capabilities

If you’re considering a new product or a shift in production, we can help you test it before it touches your line. Our pilot automation testing simulates real production line variables, so you can validate performance, avoid disruption, and confidently introduce new adhesives.
