Now there is an easy way for body shops to get assurance that a repair work is done perfectly saving time and money on any potential re-work: simply apply Teroson QuickCheck, a new waterborne paint finish simulator from Henkel.

Newly developed Technomelt Supra Cool 130 from Henkel unites the best of both worlds: a processing temperature of just 130 °C – previously the preserve of EVA-based hotmelts – fused with all the benefits of Supra technology to give exceptionally high bond strength, outstanding flowability and a much wider range of application suitability.

With its range of emission-reduced polyurethane hotmelt adhesives (PUR hotmelts), Henkel is setting new standards of occupational health and safety in the graphic arts industry. The innovative adhesives of the Purmelt MicroEmission series are a response to the growing awareness of the need for sustainable production processes in the industry and are recommended by accident insurance institutions. At Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, the Company is presenting not only improved products for spine binding, but also emission-reduced PUR hotmelts for side gluing and endpapering.

When processing magazines and other soft cover products, bookbinders are faced with a constant worry. Since conventional PUR hotmelts take up to eight hours to cure, reliable quality checks are only possible after the completion of an entire job, even in the case of large print runs. In the worst case, this can mean a high level of wastage and complaints and generate high costs. Henkel is now taking this weight off bookbinders’ minds. At Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, the Company is presenting a PUR adhesives system that part-cures in a matter of minutes with the aid of UV light and permits immediate quality checks.

Offering exemplary manufacturing cost-efficiency, pasting is among the most important of the post-print process technologies. And hotmelts offer a particularly decisive advantage in such applications: because they cool within seconds, yet produce an almost instant adhesive bond of sufficient strength to enable high production speeds. Hence Henkel will be providing an overview of the performance capabilities of its Technomelt hotmelts at the 2009 Frankfurt Book Fair.

Right from its inception 140 year ago to today, the Berger printing company has been in the hands of its founding family.
