What Is An Adhesive?
• An adhesive, or glue, is a
mixture in a liquid or semi-
liquid state (as used) that
adheres or bonds items
together.
• Adhesives may come from
either natural or synthetic
sources and nearly all are
polymer based – most are
highly specialized and
formulated.

History of Adhesives
• The original adhesive was developed
by the caveman, who made glue out
of animal hides and proteins.
• Water-based adhesives (also known
as PVAc, White Glue or Resin Glue)
were invented in Germany during
World War I. It is the key ingredient
in Wood Glue and Elmer's Glue.
• Hot Melt Adhesives (also known as
EVA's or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) were
invented around 1900, and perfected
after World War II during the
development of automated
packaging lines.

Adhesive Applicating
Systems
Circulating System used for continually applying
and re-applying adhesive, typically in a rotary
based application system.
Non-Circulating System is used to apply both cold water-
based and hot-melt adhesives. A non-circulating system
essentially comprises a parallel series of guns, each one
attached to the main tank by individual hoses. The adhesive
is pumped to each gun though the hose, and the adhesive
is applied by the nozzle of the gun.

Hot-Melt System – Same as above but with an
additional requirement: melting the adhesive. The
most common configuration for melting devices is a
tank melter, or essentially a large pot or tank in
which cold adhesive can be added and melted into
liquid form.
Cold-Glue System - hoses pump the fluid adhesive to
applicator heads which apply the adhesive to the substrate
in bead, spray, or droplet form (depending upon the
requirement) by means of attachments or special
configurations on the applicator heads.

Optimizing Adhesive Use
•Reduce the amount of adhesive applied, no matter the technology.
•Ensure the adhesive is applied in the specific bonding area and
matches both the surfaces being bonded and the application
equipment applying the adhesive.
•Use the latest and best equipment and know-how for applying the
adhesive.
•Optimize the overall gluing process.

Adhesive Sustainablity
Key Particle Components are:
•Relative performance strength of the
chemistry of the adhesive.
•Relative recyclability of the product.
• Manufacturing Efficiency of the
Product.
• Renewability.
•Biodegradability-Compostability-
Repulpability.
•Overall Energy Conservation – from Raw
Material to Adhesive Manufacturing to
Adhesive User – detailing the Energy Used
and Waste Material Generated. “LESS IS
MORE APPROACH”.
Sustainable Adhesives Use A Combination of Appropriate Chemistry and
Technology, Manufacture Adhesives in the Most Efficient Manner Possible
and Optimize Adhesive Use.

Key Questions to Ask
Before Recommending Adhesives
1. What is the End Use Product being
Made?
2. What substrates are involved? Bonding
What to What?
3. How will the Adhesive be Applied?
4. How is the End Product being Made
now?
5. What is the substrate temperature
when glued?
6. What is the application temperature?
7. What is the Open Time, Compression
Time?

The 10% Difference –
Because of WizAssure’s 10% less density you:
Lower Cost/Unit

The 25% Difference – Because of WizAssure’s
superior bonding to paper and paper board and
superior runnabililty you:
• Reduce Pressure
• Use Smaller Size Nozzle Orifice
Reduce usage by 25%

Lower Cost/Unit

WizAssure Cost Savings Calculator
• WizAssure cost is X
• EVA cost is 75% of X
• When using WizAssure
– Deduct 10% for density = 90% of X
– Deduct 25% SAVINGS for superior
runnability allowing for as good or
better bond = 65% of X
– Deduct 10% for equipment = 55%
Total WizAssure cost per
unit of usage is 55% of X
vs.EVA 75% of X

Real Life Lower
Cost/Unit Example
Account Summary: Purchasing EVA Product for $1.45/LB. Bonding
corrugated boxes and cartons on Kraft, TiO2, SBS and Some Printing
Stock.
– WIZASSURE SELL:
• Selling Price of $1.99/LB.
• However, density 10% lighter vs. EVA (take off $0.20/LB of
selling price – so now $1.80/LB). Same size bead.
• Mileage due to much improved adhesion, reduce bead size by
25% turning pressure down 10-15 psi (take $0.40/LB off selling
price – so now $1.40/LB) AND adhesion is as good or better.
• Improved Equipment Costs due to no charring, Estimate savings
of 10% on parts/labor (take off $0.20/LB – so now $1.20/LB).
Viscosity stability at temperature is key factor.
– Once on WIZASSURE, no need to ever go back! Competition does
not pitch this because they don’t have it!

Make Money – Sell WizAssure!

RE-ASSURING-
THE BEST SOLUTION
Once a customer tries WizAssure they never go back to
their old adhesive. WizAssure has never been beaten.

Feeding
WizAssure

The Nordson ProBlue® Fulfill® system is an integrated adhesive melter and autofill system that
refills melter tanks, eliminates manual filling, adhesive spilling and dry tanks. It contains a built-

Utilize The “Less Is More” Approach
to Applying Adhesives
• Use WizAssure metalocene based hot
melt technologies:
• lower density
• improved mileage at lower
deposition
• Optimize bead size:
• use 1/3 less material
• produce strong bond with less
adhesive
• Utilize adhesive “Zipper Stitch”
application:
• series of micro beads are applied
across the surface to provide a
strong seal.
• provides a perfect, uniform seal
across the sealing area.

Future Packaging Trends
•Intelligent Packaging
•traceability
•Conformability
•hybrid flexible/rigid packaging
•Greenhouse Produce Packaging
•Hermetically produced fresh fruit and vegetables harvested on a
year basis (vs. seasonal) require precise packaging and consistent
adhesive performance.
•A specially-formulated WizAssure adhesive was developed for this
type of end-of-line packaging.
•Lower Density Olefin Based Hot Melt Products
•Economical Copolymer Technology For Glued Lap And Laminating
Both technologies embrace the less is more method and green use of
adhesives approach, further enhancing the two most major adhesive
developments for packaging and paper converting applications in the
last 25 and likely next 25 years.
