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.

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!

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.

Tape Adhesive Complete Guide: Manufacturing Process & ClassificationWhat is tape adhesives?Tape Adhesive 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 Tape Adhesive, the purpose of close adhesion and decoration is achieved. Benefits of Tape AdhesiveOffering several benefits and are widely used for various applications due to their versatility, convenience, and performance characteristics. Here are some key benefits of Tape Adhesive:Versatility:Tape Adhesive are available in a wide range of materials, sizes, and adhesive formulations, making them suitable for diverse applications.Temporary or Permanent Bonding:Tape Adhesive offer the flexibility of both temporary and permanent bonding options.Convenience and Cost-Effectiveness:Tape Adhesive provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for bonding and joining.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.Common types of tapes include single-sided tape, double-sided tape, foam tape, OPP tape, aluminum foil tape, automotive cloth baseline tape, etc.What Materials / Components are Used in Tape AdhesiveThe 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. Talking about the adhesive within tapes, it is the key component of the tape responsible for bonding. Different adhesive formulations are used depending on the application requirements. Common adhesive types include:Acrylic Adhesive:Offering good adhesion to a variety of surfaces, excellent temperature resistance, and durability. They are versatile and widely used in many applications. Acrylic adhesives are available as water-based or solvent-based adhesives:Water-based Acrylic Adhesives:This type is also called emulsion acrylic adhesives. They have polymeric compounds dispersed in water and surrounded by a surfactant. Surfactant lowers the surface energy of the acrylic polymer, increasing the wettability of the surface to be bonded. Water-based acrylics are inexpensive compared to their solvent-based counterpart. However, being water-based, these adhesives are less resistant to moisture and heat.Solvent-Based Acrylic Adhesive:Using a solvent carrier to deliver the adhesive properties. They offer high initial tack, good bonding strength, and can be used for various applications.Rubber-Based Adhesive:Providing excellent initial tack and flexibility. They are often used in applications that require instant adhesion and conformability.Silicone Adhesive:Being known for their high-temperature resistance, low tackiness, and ability to adhere to difficult surfaces, such as silicone substrates.Hot Melt Adhesive:Being solid at room temperature but melt and flow when heated. They provide fast-setting properties and are commonly used in packaging and assembly applications.Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive: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.What Backings are Used in TapesThe 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.The backing or carrier material provides structural support to the tape and determines its physical properties. Here are some common backing materials:Paper:One of the most basic and widely used materials for Tape Adhesives. It is economical and suitable for applications like masking, painting, and packaging. It can be plain paper or crepe paper, which is used for masking tapes.Polyester (PET):Strong and durable, they have good resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, making them suitable for demanding applications such as electrical insulation and automotive.Foam:Have a foam-based backing material, such as polyethylene foam or PVC foam. These tapes are used for applications where cushioning, sealing, or mounting is needed, such as weatherstripping and mounting of mirrors or signs.Film:Use materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene film as the carrier. These tapes are transparent, flexible, and used for applications like packaging, splicing, and laminating.The choice of backing material depends on the specific requirements of the application. For example, if you need a tape that can withstand high temperatures, you might choose a PET-backed tape. If flexibility and conformability are essential, a fabric or foam-backed tape might be more suitable.Tape Manufacturing Process(Film blowing → Gluing → Rewinding)After 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 → RewindingTape manufacturing processPopular Types of Tape AdhesivesDestructive Tape/Adhesive for Sealing TapeProvide 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 adhesionWith 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 tapeCoating 10um can reach a peel strength of 300-600g/in.

Who is the winner in the market? MPO or EVA Hot Melt Adhesive?Metallocene Hot Melt Adhesive(MPO) and EVA series hot melt adhesives, what is the difference?What is Metallocene Hot Melt Adhesive(MPO)?Metallocene refers to a class of catalysts used in the polymerization process to produce a specific type of polyolefin. Polyolefins are polymers derived from olefin monomers, such as ethylene and propylene. Metallocene catalysts enable the production of polymers with unique properties, including precise control over the molecular structure and a narrow molecular weight distribution.What is EVA Hot Melt Adhesive?EVA Hot Melt Adhesive refers to a type of hot melt adhesive (HMA) that is made from Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymers. EVA is a thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in various industries due to its excellent adhesive properties and versatility.TEX YEAR leads you to this century competition and helps you clarify everything once and for all.Advantages: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltEthylene 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.”Related Article: High Temperature Resistant Glue Guide: How, Types & ApplicationsProperties: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltMetallocene 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℃Strengths: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltIn 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 Metallocene hot melt 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.Shapes: Metallocene VS. EVA Hot MeltMetallocene 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 Metallocene 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.Durability: Metallocene Hot Melt VS. EVA Hot MeltMPO 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 testMetallocene hot melt adhesive - comparison of thermal stability│TEX YEARThe Metallocene 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 Metallocene hot melt adhesive. Honestly, both of them have their own advantages. It is suggested to select the products depending on your requirements to ensure choosing most suitable products that can produce the best results.We have complete production lines and professional supports for our TEX YEAR products.

In addition to marking, hot melt adhesives are applicable to tires in “resistance against puncture and air leakage” of tires and provide important functions to protect personal safety.Flat tire resistanceAccording to the statistics, about 40% of the national traffic accidents are attributable to tire failure, and flat tires represent more than 70% of the tire failure accidents. In Taiwan, one person every 6 minutes dies from flat tires on average and more than 100 thousand people die from puncture at high speed every year! These terrible facts arouse more attention to the safety of tires and higher awareness of people to select safer run-flat tires.From the viewpoint of products, “Run on Flat” indicates tires with blowout prevention functions and precautions rather than “precluding blowout” of tires. There are two types of run-flat tires on the market: traditional run-flat tires (or RSC tires) and self-sealing tires.The self-sealing tires have a layer of hot melt adhesive on the inner wall of the tire. When the sharp object is pulled out, the hole is filled and sealed to avoid air or slow leakage. Even when the driver drives through a sharp object, the technical coating can provide a protective buffering function and prevent the air pressure from releasing suddenly from the hole on the tire.★    We provide special flat tire resistant hot melt adhesive. It is durable to high and low temperature, has outstanding application feature, and releases limited smoke and odor during the operation.★    Our air leakage resistant hot melt adhesive for tires can reduce the risk of tire emergencies and provide reinforced tire blowout-proof functions to avoid puncture and air leakage. Tire labelingQualified tires are made by legal brand manufacturers and undergo simulation experiments and safety tests before leaving the factory. Three required elements of fuel efficiency, wet grip, and rolling noise levels are indicated on the label of tested and qualified tires. They are useful indicators showing the buffering, gripping, and operating performance of a tire.Picture★    We provide special tire labeling adhesive with outstanding surface stickiness at low temperature and excellent application performance.★    The tire labeling adhesive ensures clear and legible tire labels with smooth surface. It is durable during storage and under transport conditions. The chemical property of the adhesive enables strengthened adhesion of the label. We provide different formulas for summer and winter.

Do you know? Many joints in the car you drive every day are related to hot meld adhesives during the manufacture. Hot melt adhesives have many advantages. They are environment-friendly, do not use solvent, have stable performance, contain VOC in compliance with industrial standards, and are widely used in automobiles.A vehicle has a very narrow and well-enclosed space. The air quality related to vehicles has attracted more attention of people and, thus, the automobile industry requires very high testing requirements for the air environment in the vehicle. In particular, the adhesives used for interior decoration materials must be selected correctly to avoid air pollution in the vehicle. The low-VOC environment-friendly adhesive is the first choice to protect the physical health of the occupants in the vehicle.As for the assembly process of vehicles, on the other hand, adhesives must be endurable to high temperature and stick to challenging substrates. They must meet the requirements for emission of low-volatile compositions and fire-retardant properties.Our hot melt adhesives have low VOC concentrations and atomization values as well as high strength and high temperature resistance. In addition to the environmental requirements of the automobile industry, our hot melt adhesives meet the international RoHS and REACH requirements and the low-VOC and formaldehyde-free test specifications. They demonstrate outstanding adhesion to various materials used in the automobile industry, such as PET, PP, ABS, recycled cotton, foam, rubber, and metal.The gluing points during the automobile assembly process are described below:1.    Interior trim assemblyAdhesion of seats/electro-thermal electric bondingAdhesion of carpet, door trim and sound insulation cottonInterior wire fixingTrunk liningDoor sealing stripBaggage compartment lining2.    RoofCar topSun visor3.    LampLamp casing4.    Air filterAir filter welting5.    Oil filterEngine filter adhesive6.    Car tireAnti-blowout adhesiveTire labelingWe have met the requirements of our customers and provide total production solutions with our outstanding R&D techniques for more than 40 years and the processes of our craftsman's spirit.

Since the epidemic has not stopped in 2021, it is crucial to know how to clean our hands anywhere and at any time to prevent being infected through our mouth or nose!  Wet wipes are especially convenient for us to clean our hands when we can’t find water to wash our hands outside. If children soil their hands, they can be easily cleaned with several wet wipes.Choice of right wet wipes for epidemic preventionThere are plenty of wet wipe products on the market, including baby wipes, general cleaning wet wipes, makeup remover wipes, feminine hygiene wet wipes, hygiene wet wipes, functional wet wipes, etc. Even though these types of wet wipes are generally called wet wipes, cleaning wet wipes are actually very different from hygiene wet wipes.Only the hygiene wet wipes have a sterilization function and can be used to destroy the microorganisms on the surface.In order to provide the sterilization function, disinfectant wet wipes contain alcohol, chlorine-containing disinfectant or preservatives. Wet wipe packages with a lid can prevent invasion of microorganisms after the seal is broken and ensure that volatile alcohol and water are less volatile.Tex Year hot-melt adhesives: Protection of your skin healthIn order to ensure the sealability, secondary use and draw-out wipe features for consumers, the manufacturers bond a PP plastic lid onto the mouth of packages with our hot-melt adhesives.Wet wipes are disposable hygiene products touching our bodies directly, and therefore, all stages in the production process of the wet wipes should be strictly checked. After manufacturers producing wet wipe lids select and use a hot-melt adhesive for their products, their products must meet national requirements and should be non-toxic, odorless and transparent, and the adhesive cannot affect package appearance and wet wipe storage!Tex Year hot-melt adhesives with reliable reputationIf a hot-melt adhesive with bad performance is used in wet wipe products, the whole package appearance could be affected, and the lid may slip off, come off, or the adhesive may ooze. Moreover, during the production process, the adhesive may become stringy, or the lid could come off due to adhesion loss of the adhesive.The hot melt adhesive for TEX YEAR wet wipe lids feature fluorescence, transparency, low odor, environmental friendliness, and non-toxicity.Good initial adhesion/holding properties (holding power at 40 degrees); good operability without stringinessOutstanding high temperature (60℃) and low temperature resistance (-20℃); impressive weather resistance - suitable at high and low temperature and for both summer and winterThe transparency of the product ensures a beautiful appearance of the wet wipe box after adhesion of the lid. The property of the product ensures adhesion to PP, PE, and PET materials.Features of Tex Year wet wipe lid adhesives:Less amount needed to save on cost: The product has strong stickiness and needs less amount than other similar products.Environmental friendliness without odor and smooth construction process: The product has a very light odor and meets the environmental protection standards. Smooth construction processes without stringiness and meeting the automated construction requirements.Strong stickiness and good weather resistance: The product has strong stickiness and can bond wet wipe boxes easily. It is hardened within a short time without the worry of coming off, and has outstanding temperature resistance without oozing at high temperature or brittleness at low temperature.Hot melt adhesives for wet wipe lids!

Even though we have been stopped from taking overseas trips for a long time, we remember the experience of going abroad. Before boarding a plane, we have to go through the most time-consuming process, the check-in procedure. Some airport may have self check-in kiosks in place to enable passengers to check in and print luggage tags quickly. RFID tags are what we are going to talk about today.Adhesives for RFID tags What are RFID tags?RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, also known as electronic tags.An RFID system consists of a tag, a reader and an integrated middleware system. Radio frequency identification is a contactless automated identification technology which can automatically identify target objects and obtain relevant data through radio-frequency signals in any severe conditions without human intervention.The RFID technology is able to identify objects moving at high speed and multiple objects at the same time with rapid and convenient operation. Applications of RFID tagsMedical treatment, personal applications, traffic, entertainment, logistics, manufacturing, security, environment/other applications. Adhesives for bonding of RFID tags Hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives are used during the process that RFID chips are manufactured into identification tags or fare cards. In the past, twin adhesive tapes were adopted and the cost was higher.The hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives are gradually replacing the tapes in current product lines since such adhesives have excellent adhesion and adequate heat resistance and are applicable for the bonding of RFID tags to common plastic materials.7 features of hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives for RFID tagsFeatureDescriptionHigh hardnessAfter being coating with the adhesives, plug-in or contact cards show higher levels of hardness.Long-time useDirect bonding after applying the adhesives without thermal activation during the manufacturing process.Outstanding adhesionExcellent adhesion to paper or PP materials.Good heat resistanceShear adhesion failure temperature (SAFT) is 76℃.High temperature and humidity resistanceOur hot-melt adhesives can still firmly bond a paper card and a RFID chip together after being tested under a high temperature and humidity condition for three days.Excellent water resistanceWithout detachment after paper cards are soaked for a day.Good low temperature resistanceWithout detachment of bonded paper cards under -40℃.Related Article: High Temperature Resistant Glue Guide: How, Types & ApplicationsUnique features of our hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesives for RFID tagsFeatureDescriptionAdvantagesWell-oil-tight paper base materialsPaper base materials do not have oil leakage problems after being strictly tested at 60℃ for 7 days.

Warm Aqueous Alkaline Removable Adhesive for Recycling and Labeling Promotes Recycling Efficiency!Worldwide, 20,000 PET bottles are sold every second!Scientists estimate that by 2021, the number of PET bottles discarded by people will reach 500 billion each year, far exceeding the number that is recycled. Environmental groups say such data is devastating for the environment, because plastic pollution has affected every ecosystem, and more and more living things will be affected, rivaling climate change in severity.Less plastic bottles are recycled, and there will be more plastic in the ocean than fishWhere do the used PET bottles go?It is estimated from the recycled weight that Taiwan's PET bottles are used up to 4.7 billion per year. After deducting the amount of recycling, it is equal to 188 million PET bottles per year.Most of the bottlings actually end up in landfills, as well as our oceans. Around 5 million to 13 million tons of plastic enter the oceans every year, where it is eaten by seabirds, fish and other creatures.The distance between recycling and environmental protection may be farther than you thinkPlastic recycling needs to be shred, washed, melted and then remade to be successfully recycledPET bottles are generally accompanied by various labels and label glue for fixingIf the product label on the plastic bottle is not completely removed during cleaningThe efficiency of resource reuse will be reducedTherefore, the choice of glue for sticking labels is very critical at this time!![Sorting]→[Bundling]→[Shredding]→[Washing]→[Melting]→[Recycle] What can we do about PET bottle recycling/label recycling?The best way to promote more efficient recycling of PET bottles is to use warm aqueous alkaline removable adhesive instead of general labeling glues in the production process.As an adhesive expert, TexYear developed the warm aqueous alkaline removable adhesiveThe label can be effectively pasted without falling off.

Hot Melt Adhesive - 318U, in Compliance with UL94 V-0 Flame RetardantThe adhesives used in electronic appliances need to have heat resistance and flame retardant properties.The European Union also stipulates that the adhesives used in electrical products must pass the UL94 V-0 certificate before they can be sold in Europe. The RoHS Directive and REACH regulations also clearly stipulate that when used in electrical and electronic products, the raw material ingredients must meet their safety regulations before they are allowed to be used.Due to the above reasons, we have developed a hot melt glue stick for fixing electronic components. This product not only needs to meet the requirements of heat resistance and bonding strength, but also the ingredients must comply with RoHS and REACH regulations, and pass the UL94 V-0 level flame retardant test. 318U is an eco-friendly glue stick developed to meet these requirements.318U is a polyolefin flame retardant adhesive certified by UL94 V-0. It is applied to fix the electrical components on the motherboard. Generally, the flame retardants added to flame retardant adhesives are complex and the ingredients often contain substances that are harmful to the environment. These harmful substances include heavy metals and antimony trioxide banned by EU RoHS Substances of Very High Concern(SVHC) banned by EU REACH and some halogen components. Among the common flame retardants, halogen flame retardants have the best flame retardant effect. This is why most flame retardant adhesives often add flame retardants containing halogen components.However, with the growth of environmental awareness, a new generation of UL-certified flame retardant adhesive -318U has removed all these harmful substances and replaced them with environmental friendly phosphorus-based flame retardants. Besides, 318U greatly reduces the amount of flame retardant added and improves the bonding strength to various materials. Generally speaking, the amount of halogen flame retardants added is approximately 15% to 20%, such as 918A and 914W. The amount of phosphorus-based flame retardants is approximately 20% to 35%.

Using recyclable glue on beer manufacturing, contributing to a sustainable ecology!In the hot summer, having a glass of cold beer is one of life&#39;s great pleasures.Do you know that the plastic wrap of beer cans turns out to be a killer of marine life?Compared with other beverages, the packaging of beer is more environmental friendly. Only one plastic ring can put several cans of beer together for customers to take. However, the plastic film of beer packaging cannot be recycled and is light and thin. If it is rushed into the sea, it could become the hidden murderous intent in the sea, causing sea turtles, dolphins, and seabirds to be unable to eat, starving to death because their stomachs are stuffed with plastic.How important is the reduction of plastic packaging!As a packaging material, plastic has the advantages of lightness, thinness and low cost. Many commodity packagings contain plastic components. However, plastic cannot be completely decomposed in a short period of time, and it is easy to pollute the land, ocean, and even the air during the decomposition process. According to United Nations statistics, about 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean every year, and these wastes eventually turn into plastic particles, which enter the human body through the food chain can endanger health. In recent years, consumers have finally realized that plastic reduction not only protects the earth&#39;s ecology, but also protects the safety of food, air and drinking water. In daily consumption, the concept of plastic reduction is gradually being taken into consideration in purchasing.The plastic-reduction beer packagingA well-know beer brand released a new type of packaging in 2018, which uses recyclable glue to fasten beer cans together, and small pieces of plastic handles to replace the traditional shrink film packaging of beer, claiming to be able to reduce plastic by 76%. The concept is to use the joints between the beer cans to apply hot melt adhesive between the cans to fix them, and only add a plastic handle outside the six-can package to achieve the purpose of reducing plastic. It is currently available in the UK and Norway markets. The design of plastic-reduction packaging can save the equivalent of 60 million plastic bags a year, and has the opportunity to reduce plastic by 1,200 tons per year.Recyclable adhesive replaces plasticAdhesives cannot damage the printing on the can, cannot affect the quality of beer, and must be able to withstand extreme refrigerated temperatures between storage, transportation, consumer end, and withstand the temperature changes of high sunlight exposure during shipping. Consumers can easily separate the two beer cans, and the residual glue on the beer cans will not stick.Finally, the glue residue on the beer can can be easily removed from the aluminum can for recycling purposes, and the glue can be recycled along with the beer aluminum can.TEX TEAR provides a large range of Sustainable & Compostable Adhesives. Packaging to reduce plasticAt present, only the famous beer brand uses such plastic-reduced packaging. It was developed by a century-old German company. In addition to beer cans, this plastic reduction packaging technology can also be applied to the packaging of PET mineral water rooms. In order to enable the entire industry to achieve the goal of plastic reduction, it will share the new technology with the industry.In this era of rising environmental awareness, plastic reduction is a trend in the food industry. The green transformation and positioning of major bottled water plants and breweries will be able to attract more consumers. Therefore, food manufacturers must think about how to use more environmental friendly products way of producing goods.In the application of plastic reduction in packaging, Tex Year has a record of cooperation with customers in recyclable glue and packaging hot melt adhesives.

Tex Year GPS (Green Platform Strategy) – 4 Platforms, Products and CertificatesTex Year GPS (Green Platform Strategy) is a strategy and also a platform. It is a strategy for our company&#39;s new product development direction in the next five to ten years; it is also a platform for our upstream suppliers, partners, and downstream customers to collaborate in green industries. On this platform, everyone has a common goal, which is to develop sustainably.The vision direction of Tex Year are green, safe and healthy. At the same time, our company has been focusing on the development of green products for more than 40 years. Until today, and with the trend of the world industry, it has proposed various material solutions for carbon reduction, including biomass, renewable low-carbon materials. Using the methodology of circular economy to improve life cycle benefits and assist customer products to provide low-carbon solutions in the design of product recycling, reuse, and material reduction.In 2021, a green material strategic cooperation platform will be integrated. There are four main development scopes, including the bio-economy platform, the circular economy platform, the low-carbon economy platform, and the green economy platform inherited by Tex Year.[Green Economy Platform]The green economy platform is launched by green, safe and healthy. As long as the product development under this theme can be listed as the development direction of the green economy platform, such as: solvent-free water-based adhesive and hot melt adhesive, reduce health hazards and environmental protection impact; another example is the halogen-free flame-resistant hot melt adhesive, which not only increases the safety of the customer&#39;s products, but also reduces the final disposal of the product. A healthier manufacturing environment for the operator.[Low-Carbon Economy Platform]The low-carbon economy platform is the most important sustainable demand recently. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is directly linked to the global temperature and has a huge impact on climate change. Therefore, carbon reduction is the general trend, and the goals of various countries are also announced in these two years. They have successively proposed, and in turn, major global brands have also formulated their carbon reduction strategies and acted as pioneers in carbon reduction. Tex Year is no exception, the projects on the low-carbon economy platform list solutions that directly provide low-carbon: including lower energy It can also replace the adhesive tape, reduce the use of resources, and assist customers to achieve low-carbon industry 4.0 lights-out factories; low-temperature operation of hot-melt adhesives can reduce energy consumption when customers use it; there are also low-carbon bio-based hot melt adhesives, providing customers with products with a lower carbon footprint.[Circular Economy Platform]Circular economy platform, the simplest appeal is to assist customers in the design of products that can be reused in the life cycle of their products, or the materials of their products can be recycled and reused, or the design of reducing the use of product materials. In order to realize the value experience of customers, the research and development of materials in Tex Year has three important directions. First, it is easy to disassemble: mainly to assist customers after pasting and assembling, if they need to be recycled or reused, they can use different processes, allow customers to easily disassemble product components. For example, when recycling plastic containers, Tex Year provides clean recycling hot melt adhesives, or provides mechanically disassembling UV adhesives when laminating electronic components. Secondly, homogeneous recycling: mainly to assist customers when recycling its product materials, it does not need to be disassembled; and at the same time, it is recycled with its materials. For example, in the use of mattresses, hot melt adhesives of the same material as non-woven fabrics are provided. Third, reducing the amount of material used, whether it is to reduce the density of the product and provide the same viscosity, can reduce the amount of adhesive used by customers, such as providing the same viscosity. A low-density PO-based hot melt adhesive.[Bio-Economy Platform]The bio-economy platform has two important research and development directions, one is biodegradation and the other is bio-based. The main appeal of biodegradation is to reduce plastics, reduce petrochemical products, and reduce the conversion of underground carbon into carbon dioxide and release it into the atmosphere; the main appeal of bio-based is to provide renewable material resources and directly reduce carbon emissions. In order to win the trust of customers, Tex Year sent biodegradable and bio-based hot melt adhesives to the third certification unit for testing, and obtained the German DIN compostable and bio-based marks as follows: compostable mark, 20%~50%, 50% %~85%, more than 85% bio-based label. In fact, after testing, our hot melt adhesives have bio-based content as high as 68% and 92%. It can provide lower carbon hot melt adhesives for customers to use.The above is the strategic directions of Tex Year in the development of new products led by GPS, as well as the cooperation platform provided to our upstream suppliers and downstream customers to jointly complete high-value projects and products in response to the general trend in green, sustainable development and solutions. Tex Year and all the strategic partners of GPS, we will benefit from this and sail to the new blue ocean together.

Introduction of 705TS1, Water Filtration Application Passed NSF TestHousehold Water Purifiers IntroductionReverse Osmosis (RO) is currently the most popular household water purifier, accounting for more than 60% of the market. Generally speaking, a RO machines have 4 filters, it uses a combination of filters to effectively remove contaminants and impurities from tap water. 4 Layers of PP Filters*From outside to inside, there are PP cotton (5μ PP) filter, CTO filter, PP cotton (1μ PP) filter and RO membrane (0.0001μ) filter. PP cotton (5μ PP) filter: It is the first filter element of general water purifiers and RO reverse osmosis. Its main function is to filter larger sand particles, hair and larger impurities in the water."Carbon Block Filter" or "Chlorine, Taste, and Odor" (CTO) filter: It is the second filter element of ordinary water purifiers and RO reverse osmosis. The main material is activated carbon fired into columns, and its function is to filter heavy metals and chlorine in water.PP cotton (1μ PP) filter: Providing denser pores, its main function is to filter impurities of 1-5u in water.RO membrane (0.0001μ) filter: (remove solid content in water) It is the fourth filter element of RO reverse osmosis. The main material is reverse osmosis membrane. Its function is to filter all impurities in the water (including limestone, heavy metals, bacteria...) and make the water suitable for drinking. If there is tea scale in the water, the water is blocked and the water cannot be discharged, the TDS quality is too high when tested with a water test pen, or the water output drops, it means that the filter element has failed and must be replaced immediately. About CTO filter, hot melt adhesive is applied to the components of the carbon block filter, such as the layers of activated carbon and the filter housing, while it is in a molten state. Once the adhesive cools down and solidifies, it creates a strong bond that holds the components of the filter together. The Process of CTO Filter ManufacturingCarbon particles + PP PowderExtrusion or CompressionCooling and CuttingAssembly and Bonding (by Hot melt adhesive) Tex Year New Products: 705TS1Properties:Shape: GranuleColor: WhiteSP: 84±5℃Open Time: 50 secSetting Time: 8 secWhat is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation)?It’s a non-profit independent organization, the work focuses on the impact of factors such as water, food, air and the environment on public health, and is committed to research and development of standards and evaluation of testing methods and other related topics.Commercial food processing and processing equipmentDrinking water chemical treatment agentsWater supply systems piping and fittingsBottled waterMicrobiological testing equipment waste water treatment and recovery systemsWater purification equipmentSwimming pools bath water quality and equipmentNSF WRAS BS 6920 TESTTo get the whole test report, please consult with our sales team!Once you get the certificate, validity period: 5 yearsBS 6920-2.2: Odor and flavor (Takes 14 working days)BS 6920-2.3: Color and turbidity (Takes 14 working days)BS 6920-2.4: Extraction of metals (Takes 7-9 weeks)BS 6920-2.5: Extraction of substances of concern to public health (Takes 5 working days)BS 6920-2.6: Growth of aquatic microorganisms (Takes 21-27 working days) Conclusion:Viscosity, setting time and crystallization speed will affect product yield.NSF certification is an essential requirement in the water purifier industry.705TS1 is currently the first product in the world to pass the NSF inspection.CONTACT US if you need further assistance.

PUR Adhesives Used in Automotive IndustryHot melt adhesive and moisture-reactive polyurethane (PUR) hot melt adhesive are often used in car bodies and vehicle applications due to its high strength, flexibility, weather resistance and irreversible properties. Such as, lamps, automotive carpets, electronic equipment, automotive filtration, seating and interior applications. Automotive Adhesives Sealants MarketThe automotive adhesives and sealants market was valued at USD 6,414.1 million in 2020. As far as the global automotive industry is concerned, adhesives have become a key technology in the automotive industry, replacing welding and mechanical fasteners. The average family car uses more than 15kg of adhesive. Metal components are replaced with composite materials, bonded with adhesives, which reduces the car&#39;s weight and improves fuel efficiency. In addition to light weighting, manufacturers use adhesives to increase vehicle strength and rigidity, absorb vibrations and dampen unwanted engine and road noise, and overall improve passenger comfort and safety. Why Moisture-Reactive Polyurethane (PUR) Hot Melt Adhesive?In the automotive manufacturing industry, components must be designed and produced to meet requirements for accuracy, quality, safety, dependability and repeatability. So when automakers choose an adhesive to bond parts, they typically choose reactive polyurethane hot melts (PUR). Due to form a thermoset polymer with good solvent and chemical resistance, it has the advantages of good high/low temperature resistance, strong adhesive performance, impact resistance, etc. It can be used for bonding of various materials, and is used for seat and interior trim parts and automotive electronic components in automobile manufacturing. Hot melt adhesives are widely used in automobiles as they provide good adhesion to leather, fabric, glass and polymer-based surfaces. Tex Year glues and coatings commonly used in the automotive industry are as below:1.    Automotive Lamp SealantDue to the harsh environment in which the headlights are used, the temperature inside the headlights can be as high as 170°C when the lights are turned on for a long time. Therefore, the headlight glue must ensure that its performance is stable at high temperatures and does not release organic gases to cause atomization. In weather conditions such as wind and rain, the headlight glue needs to maintain stable performance under long-term erosion and impact from wind and rain. Under long-term exposure to the sun, the car lamp glue must also be able to withstand ultraviolet rays without causing cracks and other aging phenomena.Car lamp glue can use butyl rubber system, PUR hot melt adhesive system. PUR hot melt adhesive has the advantages of fast curing and high initial strength of hot melt adhesive. It can be quickly bonded and at the same time play a role of sealing, which not only reduces the cost but also facilitates automatic production. It has strong initial adhesion and fast curing speed, and can carry out other assembly processes without long-term storage after the lamp is glued. In the subsequent storage and transportation, it will further react with moisture in the air to increase the curing strength. Good temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and aging resistance and other characteristics. BaseGradePackaging Spec.Viscosity (cps)PURR2120G/B18kg/ pail300ml/cartridge9,000 @120℃R2215G/B20kg/ pail12,000 @ 120℃Butyl Rubber HMABR021G/B18kg/CTN21,000 @200℃Gel-Like Sealant HMABR015G/B12kg/CTN15,200 @200℃ 2.    UV Primer Headlights are one of the most important parts of your car that need to be protected to extend their life. The main material of the lamp holder is PC/ABS and BMC. There will be fine unevenness on the plastic surface, which will cause random reflection during vacuum coating and affect the brightness. Use UV primer to fill in the unevenness of the plastic to make the coating smooth and fully reflect the brightness. GradeAppearanceViscosity (Sec,NK-2,25℃)1553BClearLight Yellow Liquid 12~14S 1553AClearLight Yellow Liquid 9.5~11S 1553CClearLight Yellow Liquid 11~13S  3.    Hard CoatCar lampshades are made of PMMA or PC.

It&#39;s ideal for mending clothing, attaching patches, and other fabric applications where a long-lasting bond is required.Temporary Fabric Glue:Temporary fabric glue is formulated to provide a temporary bond that can be easily removed when needed. It&#39;s often used for basting fabric pieces together before sewing, creating temporary fabric arrangements, or making adjustments to clothing that may need to be altered later.Fabric Fusion Adhesive:Fabric fusion adhesive is a type of fabric glue that is known for its ability to bond fabric-to-fabric and fabric-to-other materials, such as wood or paper. It&#39;s often used in mixed-media crafting projects.Heat-Activated Fabric Adhesive:This type of fabric adhesive requires heat to activate the bonding process. It is often used in conjunction with an iron or heat press to create a secure bond between fabric layers. Heat-activated fabric adhesive is commonly used for appliqué work.Spray Fabric Adhesive:Spray fabric adhesive comes in an aerosol can and is sprayed onto fabric surfaces. It is commonly used in quilting and upholstery projects to temporarily bond fabric layers together for sewing or quilting.Talking about formulation, here are some common ingredients and components that you might find in the formulation of fabric adhesives:Polymer Resins:Most fabric glues contain polymer resins as their primary adhesive component. These resins are responsible for creating the bond between fabric fibers. Common polymer resins used in fabric glues include polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and acrylic resins.Solvents:Solvents are used to keep the adhesive in a liquid or semi-liquid state until it is applied. They also assist in the penetration of the adhesive into the fabric fibers. Common solvents include water and various organic solvents.Thickeners:Thickeners are added to control the viscosity of the glue, making it easier to apply and preventing it from running or dripping excessively. Common thickeners include cellulose derivatives and natural gums.Modifiers:Various modifiers may be included to enhance specific properties of the fabric glue, such as flexibility, adhesion strength, and resistance to environmental factors. These modifiers can include plasticizers, UV stabilizers, and cross-linking agents. Types of Fabric that can be GluedDifferent types of fabrics may require specific types of fabric glues or adhesives for optimal results. The choice of fabric glue depends on factors such as the fabric type, the intended use, and whether you need a temporary or permanent bond. Here are some common fabric types and the recommended types of fabric glues for each:Cotton and Cotton Blends:Recommended Glue: All-purpose fabric glue or permanent fabric glue.Use: Cotton fabrics are versatile and can be bonded with a wide range of fabric glues. Permanent fabric glue is suitable for long-lasting repairs and projects.Polyester and Synthetic Fabrics:Recommended Glue: All-purpose fabric glue or permanent fabric glue.Use: Fabric glues that work well with synthetic fabrics are suitable for polyester and blends.

Ex: APO / APAO / Polyolefin Based Hot-Melt Adhesive series, PUR / Polyurethane Based Hot-Melt AdhesivesHow to Choose the Best Cloth Glue for You? Choosing the best cloth glue for your specific needs involves considering several factors, including sheer strength, color, water resistance, heat resistance, open time, and setting time. Here&#39;s how to make an informed choice based on these factors:Sheer Strength:Consider the type of fabric and the intended use. If you need a strong, permanent bond, opt for a fabric glue designed for high sheer strength. Check product labels and descriptions for information on shear or tensile strength, which indicates the adhesive&#39;s ability to withstand forces that can cause fabrics to slide against each other.Color:If the color of the adhesive is important for your project, look for fabric glues that dry clear or in a color that matches your fabric. Some glues are specifically designed to dry transparent or with minimal color change. Some fabric glues offer a choice of colors, allowing you to select one that blends seamlessly with your fabric.Water Resistance:Determine whether your fabric project will be exposed to water or moisture. If so, choose a fabric glue labeled as water-resistant or waterproof. Keep in mind that some fabric glues may offer limited water resistance, while others provide a high degree of protection against moisture.Heat Resistance:Consider whether your fabric project will be exposed to heat or hot conditions. If heat resistance is important, select a fabric glue designed to withstand high temperatures. Pay attention to the adhesive&#39;s heat resistance rating, which can vary among products.Open Time:Open time refers to the period during which the adhesive remains workable after application. Longer open times can be advantageous for complex or large projects, as they allow more time for positioning and adjusting fabric pieces. Check the product label or description for information on open time. Some fabric glues may offer extended open times, while others set quickly.Setting Time: Setting time refers to the time it takes for the adhesive to fully cure and create a strong bond. Faster setting times can be beneficial for projects that require a quick turnaround. Review the product information to determine the expected setting time. Some fabric glues may dry within minutes, while others may require several hours or more to fully set. Tex Year Cloth Glue RecommendationsPUR / Polyurethane Based Hot-Melt Adhesives: Functional Clothing Laminating AdhesivesR6920H: Fabric + Fabric <General> Ideal for lamination of water repellence and normal materials.R6935: Fabric + Film <High Water Repellence> Ideal for material with level 4 water repellence or above and for difficult-to-bond substrates, such as, nylon, taffeta, and Taslon.R6940: Fabric + Film <General-Soft> Ideal for material with level 4 water repellence or above and for difficult-to-bond substrates, such as, nylon, taffeta, and Taslon.R6942: Fabric + Film <Flame Retardant> Characterized by high flame retardant, which doesn’t allow PUR films after curing to be flamed by fire.

High Temperature Resistant Glue GuideWhat is High Temperature Glue?High-temperature glue, often referred to as heat-resistant adhesive or high-temperature adhesive, is a type of adhesive that is designed to withstand elevated temperatures without losing its bonding properties or breaking down. These glues are formulated to maintain their strength, flexibility, and adhesion capabilities even when exposed to high temperatures, typically in the range of 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius) or more.When choosing a high-temperature glue, it&#39;s important to consider the specific temperature range it can tolerate, as well as the bonding material and the intended application. Different formulations may be better suited to different situations, so selecting the right adhesive for your needs is crucial to ensure a durable and reliable bond under high-temperature conditions. How does High Temperature Resistant Glue Work?High temperature resistant glue works by using specialized formulations and chemical properties to maintain its strength, flexibility, and adhesion capabilities at elevated temperatures. The exact mechanisms can vary depending on the type of adhesive, but here are some common ways in which high-temperature resistant glue works:Thermosetting Polymers:Many high-temperature resistant adhesives are based on thermosetting polymers. These polymers undergo a chemical change when exposed to heat, which causes them to cross-link and harden. Once the adhesive has cured and undergone this chemical transformation, it becomes more stable and heat-resistant. The curing process typically involves the application of heat, which can be done during the manufacturing process or when the adhesive is used.Silicone-Based Formulations:Silicone adhesives are known for their exceptional heat resistance. They work by maintaining their flexibility and stability even at high temperatures. Silicone molecules have a unique structure that allows them to withstand thermal stress without breaking down. They can also maintain their elasticity over a wide temperature range.Epoxy Resins:Epoxy adhesives often use a two-part system where a resin and hardener are mixed together before application. The chemical reaction between these two components, known as curing or polymerization, is initiated by heat or a catalyst. This reaction forms a strong and heat-resistant bond. Epoxy resins can be formulated to withstand high temperatures by using heat-resistant additives and carefully controlling the curing process.Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue):Heat-resistant cyanoacrylate adhesives are designed to maintain their bond strength even at elevated temperatures. They work through a process called anionic polymerization. When the adhesive comes into contact with moisture on the surfaces to be bonded, it rapidly polymerizes and forms a strong bond. Some specialized cyanoacrylates can withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).Polyurethane Adhesives:Polyurethane adhesives are known for their flexibility and resistance to heat, chemicals, and moisture. They typically cure by a moisture-triggered process, and the resulting bonds can remain stable even at high temperatures. Applications of High Temperature Resistant GlueHigh-temperature glue is used in various applications where regular adhesives would fail due to heat exposure. Some common applications for high-temperature glue include:Automotive Repairs:High-temperature glue can be used for bonding components in engines, exhaust systems, and other areas that experience high heat.Electronics:It is employed in the manufacturing and repair of electronic devices where components generate heat, such as circuit boards, power supplies, and LED lighting.Industrial Equipment:High-temperature adhesives are used in the assembly and repair of machinery and equipment that operate at high temperatures, including ovens, furnaces, and boilers.Aerospace:They are used in the aerospace industry for bonding and sealing components on aircraft and spacecraft that must endure extreme temperatures during flight.Household Repairs:High-temperature glues can be used for various household repairs, including fixing appliances, cookware, and barbecue grills. Types of High Temperature Resistant GlueCommon types of high-temperature adhesives include:Silicone Adhesives:These are known for their excellent heat resistance and flexibility. They can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 200°C (-40°F to 392°F) or even higher in some specialized formulations.Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue):Some cyanoacrylate adhesives are formulated to be heat-resistant and can tolerate temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).Epoxy Resins:Certain epoxy adhesives are designed to withstand high temperatures and can be used in applications where temperatures can reach 300°C (572°F) or more.Polyurethane Adhesives:These adhesives can offer good heat resistance and are often used in automotive and industrial applications. What should be Considered When Buying High Temp Glue Besides Heat ResistanceThere are several important factors to consider beyond heat resistance to ensure that you select the right adhesive for your specific application. Here are some key considerations:Temperature Range:While heat resistance is a crucial factor, it&#39;s essential to know the specific temperature range the adhesive can withstand. Different high-temperature glues have varying upper limits, so make sure the adhesive&#39;s range aligns with your application&#39;s temperature requirements.Substrate Compatibility:Consider the materials you intend to bond. Ensure that the adhesive is compatible with the substrates, such as metals, plastics, ceramics, or other materials. Some high-temperature glues may be better suited for certain materials.Curing Time:The drying or curing time can vary between different high-temperature adhesives. Some may require longer curing times than others, so factor this into your project timeline.Viscosity:Viscosity refers to the thickness or flowability of the adhesive. High-temperature glues come in various viscosities, from thin liquids to thick gels. Choose a viscosity that suits your application, taking into account factors like gap size and how the adhesive will be applied.Bond Strength:Consider the required strength of the bond for your application. High-temperature glues may have different bonding strengths, so choose one that meets your specific needs.Certifications and Approvals:Depending on your industry or application, you may require adhesives with specific certifications or approvals. For example, some adhesives may need to meet certain safety standards or regulations. Check if the adhesive has relevant certifications if needed. Tex Year High Temperature Glue RecommendationsPolyamide Based Hot-Melt Adhesive series:UL hot melt adhesives TY-863H1: UL94V0 and ROHS certified, heat resistant, oil resistant, chemical resistant, work perfectly for different types electronic parts bonding.CONTACT US if you need further assistance.

Friendly recycling of book binding glue reduces carbon footprint by 30.78%Let’s learn about the process of waste paper recycling!Waste paper generated by each household will be collected by recycling operators. The recycled paper will be further divided into "deinked paper", "magazine paper" and "mixed waste paper" at the recycling plant. The lower the ink content of clean paper, the higher the recycling value is. Different grades of recycled pulp can be made into recycled paper, packaging cartons, environmentally friendly toilet paper and other paper products. Paper Recycling Process Paper Recycling Process The key to friendly recyclingThe recycling industry uniformly transports waste paper to paper mills. The waste paper will be dissolved in water and broken up, and then large foreign matter will be filtered out through the small holes at the bottom of the pulping equipment. In the subsequent process, the equipment will use centrifugal force to exclude needle-shaped metals such as staplers, sand, colloids, etc. in the rough separation stage. Finally, fine separation is carried out, that is, the paper fibers are separated by using the fine pores on the inner wall layer of the equipment.Successfully recycled waste paper will eventually be broken up into fibrous recycled paper raw materials. After cleaning and concentration, the completed raw materials are spread on the net to make a large piece of paper, which is rolled up and down to squeeze out the water. After drying and cutting at a temperature of 150°C, the recycled paper is completed. Barriers to friendly recyclingDuring the filtration process, the paper pulp uses centrifugal force. Although only the paper fibers are allowed to leave from the gaps after filtration, there will still be waste that cannot be eliminated. What remains are impurities larger than the fibers, including hot melt. Glue inside.If there is a lot of waste in the collected waste paper, recycling will become very difficult, so when we recycle paper, remember not to send things other than paper for recycling.During the book forming process, book edge glue and book back glue are used for binding. However, during the recycling process of books, the colloid is not easily damaged by mechanical force. It can only be filtered out through filtration, and the colloid still has the opportunity to slip through the gaps. Paper fibers enter the next process together, affecting paper quality. Ways to improve book recyclingNow, there is a better way to improve book recycling. You can use book binding glue that has passed Japan&#39;s Friendly Recycling certification. The glue is separated through filtration in the recycling system. The quality of paper recycling is better, and the circular economic value of the product is increased. And less glue can be used to achieve better binding strength, and friendly recycling of book binding glue can also improve the carbonization phenomenon. Tex Year Friendly Recycling Book Binding Glue is your best choice:Low density requires less glueCompared with traditional EVA hot melt adhesive, the adhesive strength is increased by 30%Excellent thermal stability and reduced equipment maintenance timesCarbon footprint reduced by 30.78%We implement our sustainability commitments with practical actions on our products, and invite you to join us in taking action for environmental sustainability.Some information and videos come from: 【金沢市】古紙の分け方・出し方　～新たな紙ができるまで編～https://youtu.be/cOX7VoDZmvo?si=fYJKHRCSKm0cYNdoCONTACT US if you need further assistance.

Building the Future: Tex Year’s Bio-Based Adhesives for Corner Beads and ConstructionThe attachment of various materials to each other is a vital component in construction and one that requires thought to determine what will be most effective and how long it will last. There are numerous adhesives used in construction, with varying degrees of longevity and firmness. They offer a range of benefits and allow for a more practical way to handle some connections, enabling the construction to be completed quicker or the final result to last longer. So, what are the adhesives used in construction and how are they used? Why are Adhesives Used in Construction?Adhesives are a common choice because they’re typically simple to use and provide a long-lasting attachment where needed, especially when two different types of materials are adhered together. They may be used where nails are unadvisable or undesired, such as attaching roofing tiles without creating holes in the tiles themselves. Adhesives are also a sound option when waterproofing is needed, as some types can be used as a sealant and an adhesive. It&#39;s also recommended to use adhesives when better bonding is needed. Even if nails or other attachment methods are used, adhesives can be used to make the bond stronger. Depending on the adhesive, it can also be used to temporarily hold something together and allow for it to be easily taken apart when needed. This is perfect for things that may still require nails or screws, but that need to be held in place until the finishing work can be done.  Market Trends for Construction AdhesivesTrends are changing and adhesives are being used more frequently in construction for many new purposes. Some of the major trends for construction adhesives today include the following. ●    More Technological Integration – New technologies are changing the world of adhesives. They are becoming stronger, easier to use, and better for various purposes. This enables them to be used in a wider range of applications within construction. ●    Increase in Prefabrication – An increase in prefabricated homes and buildings is creating a larger need for construction adhesives. The need for prefabricated homes will continue to grow in the near future. ●    Additional Focus on Sustainability – Sustainability is a growing focus for producers of construction adhesives. Goals include using more sustainable practices to create the adhesives, more reusable ways to package or use the adhesives, and more. ●    Rising Material Costs – A concern is the rising cost of materials needed for construction adhesives. Manufacturers must be aware of this and look for ways to minimize the increase to avoid a rise in price for consumers. ●    The Design of New Types of Adhesives – New types of adhesives, such as bio-based adhesives, are being designed to solve some of the issues with current products that are available.  When Adhesives Can Be a Good OptionThere are tons of practical times when adhesives may be an excellent option during the construction phase of a building. Some of the top times adhesives can be used include the following.●    Affixing Ceramic Tiles – When ceramic tiles are placed, some type of adhesive must be used to attach them to the subfloor to provide stability. The adhesive is typically permanent and designed to be waterproof to minimize potential damage. ●    Carpeting High-Traction Areas – In areas with a lot of people going in and out, adhesives can be used to adhere the carpeting to the subfloor, ensuring it isn’t moved or damaged by everyone walking on it. This is more common in commercial buildings with carpeting. ●    Lamination for Counters – The laminating material used on countertops must be adhered to the underlying wood. The adhesive can be waterproof to help prevent peeling or damage, especially in areas like the kitchen or bathroom. ●    Creating Pre-Fabricated Panels – Pre-fabricated panels are used to create more sustainable housing and buildings, and they’re used in the design of buildings that are intended to be built fast. Often, panels are held together with adhesives to ease the construction of the building. ●    Repairing Flooring Damage – Damaged flooring may be repairable. An adhesive can help reconnect the flooring to the subfloor or hold pieces together permanently to restore the flooring. ●    Affixing Roofing Tiles – Instead of or along with nails, adhesives are used to affix roofing tiles. The adhesive must be waterproof to help secure the tiles and prevent water from reaching the subroof. ●    Affixing Wallpaper or Other Coverings – Wallpaper and other wall coverings are affixed to the drywall using adhesives. These are used to help prevent damage during the installation and ensure all parts of the wallpaper are securely attached. ●    Finishing Drywall – Drywall is installed with nails, but adhesives are often used in the finishing to help create a smooth look, especially around the corners. Adhesives can also be used to help hold the drywall in place. ●    Adding Waterproofing Panels in Bathrooms – In bathrooms, waterproofing panels are often used beneath tiles in the shower or surrounding the tub. Waterproof adhesives are typically used to help hold in the panels and seal them, preventing any water from getting behind the tiles. When adhesives are a good idea, it is important to choose the right one. Look into the different options, like corner bead technology, to make sure it’s going to fit the application and hold as expected.  Corner Bead TechnologyDrywall is used in many different building types, and it’s typically installed using screws. However, adhesives can be used for attaching and holding the drywall as well as for finishing the corners. To finish corners, a corner bead is used. Today’s corner beads come in a variety of styles, depending on the application, to protect the edges of the drywall around a corner. The adhesives used are designed to help hold the corner bead in place, enabling it to stay long-term to protect the drywall. It is crucial to use the right adhesive for the corners to ensure it stays properly and can be finished to look like the rest of the wall. It may be beneficial to look into bio-based options to be more sustainable in the long run. Bio-Based AdhesivesNew technologies and discoveries are being used to create bio-based adhesives to use in the construction process. Ingredients are naturally found, which can make them more sustainable than other options, and they can still be as strong or durable. One of the most promising endeavors today is with bio-based adhesives for engineered wood products. These adhesives help to adhere the engineered wood together or with other materials, creating a more durable product for use in floorings, decks, and more. As more research is done into bio-based adhesives, expect them to become more prominent in the construction industry.  Recommendations by Tex Year for Construction AdhesivesWhen it comes to construction, using the right adhesive is paramount. With how many different types are available, though, it can be hard to find the right one. Some of the types recommended by Tex Year include the following. Hot Melt Adhesives The hotmelt adhesives are easy to apply and strong, and there are a variety of different kinds designed with different purposes in mind, from EVA-based ones that are for general purposes to a PUR that is a structural glue that uses moisture to cure. What is hot melt adhesive used for? It can be used for everything from packaging to bookbinding or furniture construction, making it a great option for a wide range of uses. Corner Bead MeshA corner bead mesh adhesive is ready to use to help finish the corners of walls. It provides protection against damage and helps to prevent potential issues along the corners of walls. This is a commonly used product in construction and can be used whenever drywall is installed. HDPE Waterproof MembranesWaterproofing is done during the construction of buildings in areas that are prone to water damage, such as bathrooms and kitchens. An HDPE waterproof membrane helps seal the surface against water intrusion, protecting the rest of the building materials from damage if there is a lot of moisture in the room or a leak. Glass Wool Insulation AdhesivesSoundproofing can be done between rooms in homes or between homes in larger buildings to help cut down on noise transfer. When the soundproofing is installed, an adhesive is used to hold it in place. A glass wool insulation adhesive is commonly used for this, as it can help bond the outer shell and the other materials used to create soundproofing or to increase insulation. MS Polymer AdhesivesWhen the junction between two materials needs to be flexible or something needs to be adhered without nails, an MS polymer adhesive is a fantastic option. This type of adhesive is highly flexible, so it’s perfect for use in a wide range of situations, and is able to cure at room temperature, so no specialized applications are needed to help it cure. It’s also resistant to mold and can help seal the space, so it is a great choice for many construction projects. Construction requires the use of various adhesives to ensure everything is attached properly and that it will hold securely for as long as possible. When choosing adhesives for construction, be sure to choose the right one based on the job. A number of different types may be needed during the construction of the building. Always refer to the manufacturer’s directions for curing or bonding to ensure the adhesive is used correctly and that it will work as advertised. For any inquiries regarding adhesives for applications above, please feel free to CONTACT US if you need further assistance.
