Zurich, Switzerland – H.B. Fuller (NYSE: FUL) confirms that its continued investment in the development of window profile adhesives has led to the development of two impressive new products. Committed to ensuring window profile manufacturers make confident connections, the release of Swift®lock 4780 and 4088 reactive hot melt adhesives, further expands the company’s specialist adhesive offering and is designed to help customers improve their product performance.
Swiftlock 4780 and 4088 have been specifically formulated for high-quality window profile wrapping. Both have been certified to the new, and very stringent, RAL 716 standard, having proven themselves in demanding hydrolysis and thermolysis tests required by the German Institute for Quality Assurance of PVC Window Profiles. Customers can have confidence in their performance.
“As well as investing in developing and delivering new window profile adhesives, combined with RAL certified primers, our focus on this market is reinforced by our dedicated technical service,” says Alexander Ritt, technical manager, H.B. Fuller. He adds, “At H.B. Fuller, we aim to connect what matters. By joining with window profile customers in collaborative efforts, we can help address challenges, including consistency of quality, and ease of application at a wide range of machine speeds. Plus, we can answer the demand for long life, under a variety of weather conditions, and for sustainable, non-hazardous products.”
Key properties of Swiftlock 4780 and 4088 include their high initial and final strength, which are vital to maintaining high quality and minimising defects in window profiles. Swiftlock 4780 is particularly suited to dealing with difficult-to-bond surfaces, tight radiuses, and the requirement for long-lasting performance. Swiftlock 4088 performs especially well in hot, humid, or highly variable weather conditions.
H.B. Fuller’s commitment to staying at the forefront of reactive hot melt adhesive technology is futher reflected in a €70 million investment programme to transform its European operations.
