MAKTHERM 26 Please see details on page 6. Application and Storage Suggestions for EVA-based Adhesives Ambient Temperature: Problems with Hot-Melt adhesives are generally experienced in cold weather. As the ambient temperature decreases, the performance of the adhesive starts to deteriorate. When the temperature goes below 0 C, the performance of the adhesive decreases dramatically. In order to overcome this problem, it is suggested that; A heater fan is placed to the feeding point of the edgebanding machine. Edgebands and boards are kept in a warmer storage area. The temperature in the edgebanding machines glue pot and rollers are increased by another 15-20 C. The suggestions mentioned above do not guarantee 100% positive results. The main goal is to provide 20 C ambient temperature at the working environment. Adhesives viscosity starts to decrease as the environment temperature rises to 30 C or above. As a practical solution, it is recommended to cool the pot and the roller down by 10-15 C. As a result, the ideal viscosity of the adhesive can be restored during the application. Glue Pot temperature: The desired level of bonding cannot be achieved if the adhesive doesn t adequately melt. This problem arises mainly because of the malfunctioning of the heaters in the container. In such a case, the actual temperature is far lower than the temperature read on the container s thermostats. To be certain, it is recommended to measure the temperature of the adhesive inside the pot with a separate thermometer. Faulty heaters should be replaced with new ones to overcome the problem.

Application and Storage Suggestions for Water-Based Adhesives For optimal storage, maintain products at a temperature between 15 C to 20 C, in a dry place, on pallets and away from direct sunlight. Adhesive containers should be kept closed when not actually in use. In case of high viscosity, water can be added to dilute the adhesives based on the usage purposes. Adding water will lessen the bonding strength of the adhesive. 9
