Relevant reports show that only 36 kg of milk is consumed per person per year in the country! The rate is far below the world drinking milk standard. Besides, the amount of milk consumed by Chinese is about only one-third of the average level of the world dairy industry. Have you been drinking dairy today?What nutrients does a dairy product give us?Dairy products are mainly composed of water, protein, fat, lactose and rich minerals. Billions of people around the world consume these high-quality nutrients from milk and dairy products every day.People also use the fat floating characteristics of milk to make a variety of dairy products.Liquid milk (sterilized milk, yogurt), milk powder, condensed milk, milk fat (cream), cheese, cream, other dairy products. How can dairy products preserve nutrition effectively?Dairy products are rich in various nutrients, providing people with nutrients; however, they may also become the natural medium of microorganisms, causing deterioration of dairy products. Unsuitable storage is prone to cause a series of chemical changes that accelerate these deterioration processes and let nutrition become a hazard.Different dairy products have different storage methods and time; we arrange the information as follow.Fresh milk, as known as pasteurized milk, usually filled in glass bottles or fresh milk house box and needs to be refrigerated.Normal temperature milk, after high temperature sterilization, commonly used in Tetra Pak packaging, carton pack, etc., does not require refrigeration.Yogurt, fermented by a number of bacteria, most of them need to be refrigerated. The ingredients are similar to milk, but the lactose ratio is reduced by about 30%. Those who are lactose intolerant can choose yogurt.Yogurt drink (including milk drink), general yogurt, sour milk, lactic acid bacteria drink, fruit milk, etc., can be stored at normal temperature. Packaging styles are different to save nutritionTo preserve the best nutrients in dairy products in different circumstances, we use kinds of packaging methods after sterilized.Common packaging methods for dairy products are:Aluminum foil bag, the sun cannot penetrate, can be aseptic filled, being suitable for normal temperature or cold storage, and having long-term preservation characteristics. In addition to dairy products, Aluminum foil bag is also used to fill juice and tea.Carton and paper cups, with waterproof plastic film, commonly used in packaging milk and juice.PET bottle, with lightweight, being shatterproof and easy to carry.Portable flexible packaging, being reusable convenience and space saving. Considering the convenience of children's consumption and hand-held, portable flexible packaging always has a vertical bag with nozzle, or squeeze tube packaging.Tex Year provides hot melt adhesives for professional dairy packaging applications:Straw adhesive for aluminum foil bag application: Tetra Pak 765T, SA320, Combibloc 302ELaminating glue for paper box, paper cup and bottle cap: 318B, 318APET bottled yogurt cup paper ring glue: 767KLaminating adhesive for portable flexible packaging applications: Eclin Pack 909E You are welcome to contact Tex Year for more dairy-compatible adhesive products.Tex Year is a leading manufacturer of packaging and adhesive applications in the Chinese dairy industry.

In light of COVID-19, people wear masks outdoors to protect themselves and safeguard the health of others. People try to stay indoors to reduce the spread of COVID-19, so the time spent at home increased. We must keep the windows open for air circulation. But with an air purifier, that is not necessary at a non-ventilated environment.The main function of an air purifier is to effectively eliminate harmful suspended particles in the air, which can remove formaldehyde, eliminate bacteria, and purify the air.The key to an air purifier is its filter. Hot-melt adhesive is required to make the filter, which is applied to two areas: the frame and the filter element.A household purifier filter element is usually made using chemical fiber filter papers.During the production process, glue lines are applied to the filter paper. The filter paper is folded, pressed and bonded to the glue lines, and then cooled to take shape.Then hot-melt adhesive is applied to the screen frame using a roller or manual glue gun to affix the filter element. This process produces beautiful and durable filters, and ensures effective air purification and sterilization effects.Fusion of Perfect Filter and Hot-melt AdhesiveThe new material formula design uses Hot Melt 合得妙® adhesive to bond the air purifier screens, which has the low odor, low VOC, and strong stability advantages.1. White, excellent thermal stability, and no discoloration after long-term use.2. Low odor, optimize workshop operating environment, and effective air purification3. No adhesive drawing or dripping, and looks beautiful after bonding and molding4. Excellent adhesion to various filter papers, good resilience5. Low temperature operated hot-melt adhesive can save energy, reduce carbon emission, and improve operating environment safetyTex Year also offers air purifier filter papers to provide an overall air filter production solution for customers.For air or water filter screen systems, Tex Year has ample adhesive related experiences and technical advantages. Our fully equipped product lines can offer customers with professional adhesive solutions.

Most common corrugated box packaging material is made of paper, which is lighter than wood, has sufficient hardness, and is easy to cut the size. But paper corrugated boxes are susceptible to water immersion, humidity, or mildew damages. Packaging material corrugated cardboards have different surface hardness and waterproof treatment designed to provide waterproof and load protections during transport. The level of difficulty for packaging material adhesive also increases due to the protection needs. Therefore, selecting a suitable packaging material hot-melt adhesive is critical.In addition to paper corrugated boxes, PP plastic corrugated boxes are also available on the market. PP plastic corrugated boards (PP corrugated) are made via polypropylene (PP) hot-melt pressing. This recyclable and environmentally friendly plastic material has light weight, high durability, good moisture resistance, and good load capacity compared to that of paper. PP corrugated is also very suitable for packaging agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables to keep them as fresh and nutritious as the moment they were picked. PP polypropylene is a difficult to bond packaging material. General hot-melt adhesive cannot meet the requirements. Tex Year understands the hot-melt adhesive needs for your PP corrugated material bonding process! We can provide high strength, easy to operate, and high heat resistant products.Better Process Control Efficiency │ Tex Year’s long-term hot-melt coating adhesive is convenient for coating operations, and the effective bonding can increase production efficiency.Guaranteed Box Integrity │ Tex Year’s hot-melt adhesive has excellent strength, and allows boxes to hold high loads without breaking.Safer Production Line Operating Environment │ Tex Year provides low odor hot-melt adhesive products.Withstand Storage or Transport Environments │ Tex Year hot-melt adhesive can withstand up to 85℃, so there is no need to worry about high summer temperatures or boxes broken when exposed to the sun.Scope of application for Tex Year's hot-melt packaging material adhesive:PP corrugated box bondingPP plastic corrugated box bondingCorrugated boxes bonding with different water repellency levelsFast production line box bondingBonding for various laminated color boxesBonding for EPE cushioning materialsBonding for various packaging materials.

Mattress Comfort Determination Indicators: SupportA mattress with good support can produce different support strengths according to the human body curvatures, which is the most important indicator.Fit A good mattress brings a sense of comfortable wrapping-fit.BreathabilityA mattress with poor breathability would become hotter as the user sleeps. The skin cannot breath and can easily develop into various skin diseases.Interference PreventionIf the whole bed vibrates when you turn over, the bed has poor interference prevention and can affect the sleep of your other half. If the other side of the bed does not vibrate when you turn over, it has strong interference prevention.For a mattress to satisfy these four major indicators, multiple layers of materials need to be overlapped and combined. Tex Year's hot-melt adhesive products produce no toxic gases such as benzene or formaldehyde; and are crucial to securely bond the surface fabric, various lining materials, springs, etc. These products can resolve the environmental protection issues in the mattress production process.Tex Year's Hot Melt 合得妙® adhesive used for mattress bonding would not harden the foams, and the bonding effect is uniform and long-lasting over time. It also offers good heat and cold resistance, and smooth operation process without any adhesive drawing. The product can maintain cleanliness for the processing parts and the working environment. The long-lasting bonding as well as the non-toxic, tasteless, and harmless attributes offer a guarantee for consumer health.

Do you know how many procedures required before a perfect book reaches to your hand?They include pre-press content writing, design, editing, plate-making, in-printing, proofreading, color adjustment, and printing as well as post-printing collation, binding, and cutting. The various other background conditions such as printing method, letterpress, screen, lithography, gravure, paper or printed material type, and paper pound selection are also key consideration points for the binding operation.High-pound Paper Binding ChoicesTex Year 718 Series Edge AdhesivePaper selection and binding method are absolutely critical to the perfect appearance presentation of a book. In general, book covers would use higher-pound, harder, and thicker papers such as silk, imported, or pattern papers at between 150 to 250 pounds for appearance reasons. The Tex Year 718 series adhesive for book cover binding is transparent and odorless when hot-melted. It offers good wettability and thermal adhesiveness, and excellent bonding effect for high-pound papers.Special Material Fitting Selection  The publishing industry has introduced numerous innovations in recent years. There are often special film coatings, inks, and gloss treatments designed to provide eye-catching visual effects and transcend the traditional page flipping experience. Materials other than paper such as cloth, wood chips, leather, plastic, etc., are also often used. For these difficult to bond substrates, we recommend Tex Year 321A, which offers high adhesion strength to different substrates and resolves the bonding issues for various types of materials.Internal Page Material Fitting SelectionTex Year 778 Series / Tex Year 759 Series / PUR SeriesMost inner pages for books use economical and light paper such as Dowling paper, molded paper, light-weight coated paper, or recycled paper in response to environmental awareness. Several innate conditions must be considered during paper selection. Among them, factory equipment production speed is a key factor for adhesive selection. Tex Year Economic 778 Series Edge Adhesive has fast curing speed that is perfect for medium and fast production line machines, and is suitable for binding equipment capable of completing 7,000-10,000 books/hour. It is recommended for mass production needs such as textbooks.Behind each perfect book is its complicated production processes. The details are critical. In addition to material selection, production process plan, and supervision by special personnel; the adhesive operation team is also filled with semi-artists who must pay attention down to the last detail. Each member is a specialist in certain aspects of book production, and shuttles through the printing site to provide various book binding solutions. Tex Year is no doubt your best book binding partner.

What are VOCs?VOCs is the acronym for Volatile Organic Compounds. The definition of VOCs is different among countries. They usually refer to the organic compounds that volatilize easily at room temperature. Burning of fuels and gases produced by transportations are the main source of outdoor VOCs. If it's indoors, they're usually produced from building or decoration materials, furniture, household appliances, cleaners, and so on. (Source: Wikipedia)As the air pollution becomes an increasingly serious problem in recent years, many countries established regulations to govern the air quality and speed up the reduction of the use of VOCs in major industries by promoting greening of industries and improving the quality of the atmospheric environment to protect the health of human beings.VOCs and air pollutionThe environmental trend of low VOCsThe Environmental Protection Administration governs the products containing VOCs, including adhesives and sealants, and sets a limit value of their concentration to reduce the emission of VOCs.Our core value is to provide environment-friendly, innovative, and safe products and protect the interests of our customers to meet the requirements of the laws and regulations. We pay close attention to the development trend of the market and respond to the demands of the customers and end consumers in a timely manner. Low-VOC HMA series products We introduced the Low-VOC HMA series product into the market and control the concentration at every phase from raw material to production to make products with low volatility and VOC residues. In comparison with other products on the market, the frame and seam sealants provided recently for use in air strainers contain less VOCs while keeping the quality unaffected to provide consumers with organic compound products with low odor and volatility.In addition, the low-VOC hot melt adhesives have a wide range of applications in the areas closely related to our daily life, such as sanitary devices, packaging materials, filter materials, tapes, mattresses, filter medias, automobiles, and building materials. Tex Year low-VOC HMA series productsTex Year VOC test devices controlling the quality for our livesTo provide customers with safe products, we adopt VOC test devices to ensure the products provided for the customers can meet their standards.

Plastic floors are more popular in the international market. It is now a new lightweight floor material in renovations and has a wider range of applications.For example, plastic floor tiles are commonly seen in many public buildings. The widely used plastic floors are made from polyurethane and most suitable for laying on outdoor sports grounds.PVC is a kind of plastic. PVC floor is one of the types of plastic floors, but may people call it a plastic floor. PVC floors with adhesive on the back side are very convenient for end users. They only need to tear off the release paper to adhere and assemble the floor. This is very suitable to the fast-paced life nowadays and consumers can do this immediately when they want to.Comparison: Ordinary vs. Adhesive PVC floor tiles  The glues commonly used for PVC floors on the market are classified into three types that are applied in different processes.1. Super glue: This a solvent-based glue containing toluene. It must be applied in ventilation environment and a glue drying process is needed to produce stickiness after volatilization.2. Water-based pressure sensitive adhesive: This is an environment-friendly water-based glue and does not contain toluene. The stickiness is produced when applying pressure and rework is carried out easily. However, immersing in water for a long period of time may damage the stickiness.3. Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive: This is an environment-friendly hot melt glue and does not contain toluene. It is waterproof and the stickiness is produced when applying pressure. This is also suitable for DIY construction.Selecting hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive and its effect on PVC floor adhesivesThe PVC floor is comprised of PVC plastics, calcium carbonate, plasticizer and other additives. Environment-friendly plasticizer is added to improve the flexibility of PVC floor tiles and make them softer. However, plasticizer has a physical phenomenon of leakage and moves gradually from the inside to the surface as time goes on. As a result, the glue of the hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive will be solved and its cohesive will be damaged more seriously with time of storage, leading to spilling of the adhesive under heavy pressure and movement of some adhesive when the release paper is torn off.Once the stickiness of the hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive becomes worse, the angle may lift when it is stuck on. Hence, selecting the correct adhesive is one of the key elements for PVC floors.To solve the above-mentioned problem, our R&D personnel develop a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive with outstanding cohesion and substantially improved property to overcome the loss of stickiness due to leakage of plasticizer and ensure the adhesive of the self-sticking PVC floor remains cohesive and sticky after storage for a long period of time. This is a product that customers can use safely and comfortably.We have had our technical strength and strong R&D team for more than 40 years, and provide targeted development services to meet the requirements of the customer. We specialize in the areas of hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive for PVC floor tiles, UV matte coating materials, and other adhesive application requirements.With our strength of solution, we help Top 100 companies implement their production processes and meet their production requirements for PVC floor tile adhesive and surface scratch and wear resistant UV matte coating materials.

Adhesive tape is the most commonly used packaging and sealing tool and office stationery. It is packaged for shipment or office paper sticking, paper tape decorating notebooks, etc. Through adhesive tape, the purpose of close adhesion and decoration is achieved.The earliest adhesives were extracted from animals or plants. In the nineteenth century, rubber was the main component of adhesives. In modern times, various polymers are widely used to make glue.In industrial design, different tapes also have their own unique functions such as lamination, anti-counterfeiting, and intelligent identification.Tape manufacturing processAfter the film is blown, the film is applied to the coating machine to add hot melt glue, water glue or other adhesives. In this process, the adhesive is selected according to the required viscosity and purpose of the tape. After the application is completed, the tape is ready!Film blowing → Gluing → Rewinding → RewindingTape manufacturing process The structure of the tapeThe general structure of the tape mainly includes adhesive, backing, bottom paper (or called release paper, release liner), as well as the invisible surface treatment agent of the substrate, which is the most basic and common. The common types of substrates for pressure-sensitive adhesives include plastic film (including synthetic paper), paper, cloth, metal, etc., or a composite substrate that combines any two or more of the aforementioned materials; common The types of tapes include single-sided tape, double-sided tape, foam tape, OPP tape, aluminum foil tape, automotive cloth baseline tape, etc.Classification of tapeDestructive Tape/Adhesive for Sealing Tape│Provide all kinds of adhesives for express bag sealing and packaging sealing, which can quickly produce adhesive force. It can be applied to express bags of various printing materials and has good heat and cold resistance.Temporary fixing glue with weak adhesion│With indoor hooks, product auxiliary instruction labels, etc., it provides weak adhesion, good cohesion, no oil leakage, no glue residue, and good retention.Adhesive for paper tape│Coating 10um can reach a peel strength of 300-600g/in. There is no residual glue during peeling, and it will not cause damage to paper and books. It is widely used for pasting paper, beautifying, and decorating.Adhesives for anti-counterfeiting tapes│The colloid has low odor, does not contain any solvents, does not require drying time, so the process efficiency is high, and it is friendly to the production environment and employees. In terms of coating process, each coating weight can reach 40-50g/m2 at a time.Tex Year is committed to the development of adhesives used in the tape industry, and develops a series of environmentally friendly pressure-sensitive adhesive products for the tape industry, providing adhesives required for various characteristics, including hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives and water-based emulsion pressure-sensitive adhesives, UV pressure sensitive adhesive series, etc.

MPO and EVA series hot melt adhesives, what is the difference?TEX YEAR leads you to this century competition and helps you clarify everything once and for all.Comparison of advantagesEthylene vinyl acetate (EVA)Metallocene polyolefin (MPO)Commonly used basic polymerWider operation temperature range than EVAThe type and quantity of wax and resin controlling the clotting time and stickinessLighter color and less odorFiller allowed under specific conditionsGood thermal stability Quick operation setting Lower densityWe have complete EVA production lines for our “TEX YEAR” products. The adhesive strips and packaging glues, in particular, are in a leading position in the industry.Products in response to the development trend of the international and domestic markets are also produced under the brand name “TEX YEAR.”Comparison of propertiesMPO hot melt adhesive - comparison of properties│TEX YEARThe Proportion of MPO and EVA is 0.90 and 0.98, respectively. Though the weight of both adhesives are same, MPO is bigger, has higher mass and, thus, more usable adhesive amount, making it more advantageous in this respect.When comparing under the same conditions, the experiment proved that MPO hot melt adhesive can be applied to 4 more pieces than EVA!!Total application weight: 10gramApplication thickness/piece: 40mmOperation temperature: 160℃~180℃Comparison of strengthsIn fact, both EVA and MPO hot melt adhesives can meet the strength requirements of the customers. However, the specific weight, density, and volume of the MPO adhesive as well as the same strength with less MPO than EVA enable a saving of 10~20% use amount of the MPO adhesive in comparison with the traditional EVA adhesive. This is obviously an outstanding advantage of the MPO hot melt adhesive.Comparison of shapesMPO hot melt adhesive - comparison of shapes│TEX YEARIn addition to the properties and advantages, neat and clean shapes are required to make the first impression. This is more the focus of MPO than EVA. The arrangement of the MPO hot melt adhesive is more neat and tidy. It is relative not stringy and, thus, can produce more beautifully shaped finished products to sell at a higher price.Comparison of durabilityMPO hot melt adhesives have much higher stability than EVA. This is demonstrated in the following experiment.During a prolonged durability test at 180℃ for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 148 hours, the MPO series products show a thermal stability much better than EVA as illustrated in the figure below. The yellowing effect of the MPO adhesive in the aging process is much lighter than EVA. What an outstanding performance of MPO!Thermal stability comparison testMPO hot melt adhesive - comparison of thermal stability│TEX YEARThe MPO hot melt adhesive seems to become the only focus after a series of 5 tests, but, in fact, the EVA hot melt adhesive also performs very well in many respects. It surely has special advantages and features to stand on the top of similar products for such a long time.The EVA hot melt adhesive has been on the market for many years. It is highly acceptable, has a wide range of applications, and is sold at a lower price. Most important, it does not require repurchase or replacement of equipment or resetting of parameters. It has better compatibleness than the MPO hot melt adhesive. Honestly, both of them have their own advantages.
