H.B. Fuller Unveils Extreme Cold Resistant Adhesives For Pharma St. Paul, Minnesota based H.B. Fuller says it has readily available adhesive grades with hot melt advanced tech- nology for extreme cold storage of vaccines and medi- cation packaging. Advantra adhesives provide a secure bond at -70 C with tamper evident fibre tear. Proper packaging is essential to securely and reliably preserve and transport pharmaceutical products, includ- ing vaccines and medication, from the time they are filled until they get to a patient. Adhesives play a key role in packaging performance, especially in the face of strict storage requirements. Some vaccines need to be kept at -70 C (-94 F), which leads to complex packaging require- ments and the need to set up ultra-low-temperature freez- ers at vaccination centers. These storage requisites create logistics and transportation challenges for carriers and a wide preparation for national health systems. H.B. Fuller offers extreme cold resistant adhesive grades with Advantra 9280 EU and Advantra BOLD 9480. These have been designed for tough surfaces and harsh conditions such as high speed pharmaceutical packaging lines without counterpressure. Both solutions are com- mercially available in Europe, India, Middle East, and Africa (EIMEA) and with equivalent performance grades available globally. Visit hbfuller.com for more information.
Do you need printed sheets? We have your answer.. Introducing Heartland’s ColorCorr. This is “flexo-printing in the round”. On our corrugator we can print up to 109” wide. The advantage is that we can print the equivalent of ½ roll at a time and not be required to keep several rolls of very expensive preprinted paper on the floor. Much less waste and risk. In continual print mode, we use either laser-engraved rubber rolls or solid rubber rolls to print a “flood coat” or a repeating pattern. If we are printing a repeating pattern, we can run a two-color design on the paper. Customers have found that running sheets we print can allow them to run a lighter-grade due to reduced caliper loss, and in some cases eliminate one or more machine passes.
