The next generation of Flextra Fast™ flexible packaging adhesives Flextra Fast™ SFA 8600 / XR 1500 address emerging industry challenges such as fast curing flexible packaging and the need for sustainable packaging solutions.
From start to finish in as few as two days
The next generation of H.B. Fuller’s Flextra Fast™ solventless laminating system is
Flextra Fast™ SFA 8600 / XR 1500 adhesive—one of the fastest curing in the industry.
New Flextra Fast adhesive allows converters to:
- Laminate as fast as 1,700 feet per minute
- Slit in as few as three hours
- Provide PAA decay in as little as two days
- Fill and ship with finished goods/food in as few as 2 days
This next generation Flextra Fast laminating adhesive system is designed for high performance processes ranging from snack pouches to difficult boil-in-bag applications. Its unique formulation delivers excellent appearance and adhesion to many substrates such as foil, nylon and high slip sealants.
Putting Formulation Innovation to the Test
To develop Flextra Fast SFA 8600 / XR 1500, H.B. Fuller employed a newer, more precise method for detecting PAA to give its converting customers higher assurance of food safety. Using the more stringent High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method, H.B. Fuller developed this laminating adhesive that is ready for secondary processing in a matter of hours and safe to fill on even the toughest substrates, such as nylon, in as little as two days.
Along with the complete line of Flextra formulations, Flextra Fast SFA 8600 / XR 1500 can be put to the test on H.B. Fuller's full production-scale Nordmeccanica® Super Combi 3000 laminator installed at its pilot facility in St. Paul, Minn. The Nordmeccanica laminator can run trials of solvent-based, solvent-free and water-based laminating adhesives, offers primary and secondary in-line corona treatment and produces cured laminated rolls as wide as 52 inches.
