Liquid Performance Additive Boosts Speed by 10 to 30%
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--A new liquid performance additive boosts corrugator speed by 10 to 30% while delivering water resistance comparable or superior to any one-component additive currently available. This new additive can produce greater tack for speed, while cross-linking the starch in a combining adhesive for water resistance.
Called VELOCITY® XR7 additive, this product has enabled users to experience improved bond quality, reduced application levels and less warp in their board. When asked how the company could bring such a product to market, Craig Leake, market development manager, National Adhesives, said, "National is the only corrugating adhesive ingredient supplier with both natural and synthetic polymer chemistry expertise. Our technical experts understand how to get the most from starch-based adhesives."
