If we could summarise the hotmelt system in a few words…
This is a safer, faster glue application that bonds many materials including foam, fabric, polystyrene, cardboard and more. It is 40-60% more cost effective than other typical glue applications.
Read on to find out how this hotmelt system could help your factory.
You need to tick all the boxes with HSE.
Are hazardous glues causing you problems? Do you want to reduce the use of harmful solvents in your factory?
Or maybe the HSE have made a visit with some action points you need to resolve…
Finding a safer alternative can be a challenge, here’s a system that could make that a lot easier for you.
Health & Safety can impose challenging guidelines and working through them is important without jeopardising your production process.
HSE state that ‘DCM-based products should ONLY be used in well ventilated areas, to prevent the build-up of vapour’, with the hotmelt system you no longer have this worry nor the cost that comes with spray booths, extraction and PPE.
Make it quick with a one way stick.
With the rapid raptor handy applicator the accurate amount of glue coverage and a one sided stick, is a true recipe for streamlining production.
Usually applications with solvent based glues and waterbased glues require a two way stick, applying glue to both surfaces and bringing these together. With the hotmelt system most applications only require a one way stick (applying the glue to one surface).
The hotmelt machine is compact in size and completely mobile, meaning it’s easy to move around your factory, its fast application bonding to many materials (such as foam and fabrics) in your industry, speeding up production.
A safer glue doesn’t have to increase the cost of your production. Save 40-60% on glues.
Being cost effective doesn’t just mean the cost of the glue, instead it includes the whole process.
With a one way stick and a applicator gun which allows you to control the flow of the glue and amount applied, there is no messy overspray and no wasted glue.
Typical glue applications such as solvent based spray glue or water-based glues use vast amounts more glue vs the hotmelt system, this 100% solid hotmelt glue goes a lot further. You will be surprised at how much less you use!
With this application and glue there is no longer a requirement for PPE, an extraction system or Spray booths nor their costly maintenance.
There are 6 key components that make up the system that you can’t do without…

You may have seen details on the hotmelt system but aren’t sure if the system could replace your current glue process. Get in touch with us today on 01223 412373 to discuss your application or read below your questions answered.
Contact us today to book in a demo and discuss your current glue processes to see if this system is the right one for your application.
Timbond H509 cures quickly but not so quick you don’t have enough time to reposition materials. To find out more see our technical datasheet or speak to a technical expert to discuss your exact application. There will be a chance to test this out on the demo with one of our technical directors.
Depending on your current volumes our team can give you an estimation of how much glue you may require compared to your current glue. The volume of glue would be expected to be less as with the hotmelt system it’s a one way stick so less glue is needed, and the applicator gun is very efficient so is a cost effective way to apply glue.
Wide range of different industries including:
The hotmelt system is an ideal alternative to solvent-based glues however we would need to discuss what materials you are bonding and how often. Please give us a on 01223 412373 to talk this through and next steps.
Overall, the hotmelt system is a faster, safer and more cost-effective way of applying glue to foam and fabric.

You may require a change of process so the team can use the machine at different times, or you may need multiple machines.
Contact us to discuss your current glue process. Using the machines will mean there is less waste, no disposal of aerosols, and a 100% solvent free glue application. However we will discuss if it’s a practical solution for you and give recommendations.
If you have recently had a HSE check and not had any issues and have passed the tests, dependent on the glues you are currently using the hotmelt system is still going to be a safer option.
One example is solvent-based spray glues may pass safety requirements only because there is enough space in your factory, the correct equipment (such as a spray booth) and PPE in place to make it safer, but hotmelt glue is 100% solvent free and no PPE or spray booth is required, ultimately making the system a more cost effective option.

“We don’t have to use a spray booth, the application can be done within the factory environment, it is an easy application, and appears to be more economical than our typical application”.
