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.

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.

Collection and sampling of raw materials】TEX YEAR attaches great importance to the control of the epidemic; therefore, nucleic acid testing is a necessary measure to protect the health of employees and the safety of the company.This time, the epidemic prevention team, production center, and testing organization cooperated in an orderly manner, and the nucleic acid testing process was completed smoothly, orderly and efficiently.Test ReportNucleic acid test report result: [negative]To ensure production, we must first ensure the "negative" indicator,The quality of the process must be guaranteed to operate efficiently.The 45-year development of TEX YEAR Group is a process of accumulation.Any slight slack may be an impact on the company's production and operation.Only by ensuring that the virus is excluded from the production room can have the raw materials put into use safely.Actively fulfill the corporate mission of providing high-quality, efficient products and services to global customers.Security and epidemic prevention, TEX YEAR is in action!

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.

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.

Time is flying and middle aged people are also getting older!We should take more care of elders in the society with an increasingly aging population!There is great potential for the development of adult diapers due to the coming of worldwide aging societies.According to the data, there are up to 200 million people around the world suffer from different levels of urinary incontinence, and the urinary incontinence incidence of grown women is 25% - 45%. As the world’s aging population increasingly grows and since the incidence of urinary incontinence of elders is way higher, more and more people will suffer from urinary incontinence.Moreover, there are elders who need long-term nursing care, patients with paraplegia and hemiplegia, and other patients with incontinence, which further increases the demand for adult incontinence supplies.Generally, an adult diaper can absorb about 1,000 ml of urine, and an adult uses an average of three diapers per day.The material for adult diapers should be chosen carefully. Safe materials can ensure the comfort and health of the users. Such personal supplies should be able to be used for a long time with low odor and without allergies.Structural adhesives, elastic adhesives, wet-strength adhesives and diaper tapes are usually used to bond the material of adult diapers.Our hot-melt adhesives for disposable adult supplies can meet your needs for the production process of medical supplies. In addition, we provide comprehensive adhesive solutions to help our clients produce products that fill their requirements.

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%. But in 318U, the flame retardant proportion is lower than 10% and passed UL94 V-0 test. This shows that 318U is a major breakthrough for such applications.Fig.1 is a brief description form to show Tex Year UL grade adhesive status.We can detect 914W containing abundant quantity of heavy metal, Sb2O3, PBDE and halogen. These substances are harmful to the environment. 918A also contains these substances except PBDE. 318U is the only product in Tex Year without containing these harmful substances. Items914W918A318URoHS 2.0With lead(Pb) 5 ppmWith lead(Pb) 5 ppmNot detectedRoHS-Sb2O3containcontainNot detectedREACH SVHCWith PBDENot detectedNot detectedHalogen Free(Green peace)With Br and ClWith Br and ClNot detected(Fig.1 ) The above test items are all supported by test reports.  FeaturesBenefits1High heat resistance, high adhesion strengthEasy to apply to electrical applications2APAO basedGood electrical properties3Low densityLower glue consumption4Low flame retardant added amountReduce pipeline pollution and high bonding strength5Heavy metal free & Sb2O3 free & SVHC free & halogen freeTo satisfy future RoHS & REACH regulationsUL94 Rating ScaleHB: Slow burning on a horizontal specimen; burning rate < 76 mm/min for thickness < 3 mm or burning stops before 100 mm. V-2: Burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are no inflamed. V-1: Burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.V-0: Burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. 5VB: Burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may develop a hole. 5VA: Burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not develop a hole. Adhesive chemists combine a number of additives to make fire retardant adhesives - and sometime even to quench flames (although this feature is harder to achieve nowadays with many goods manufacturers now requesting halogen-free formulations).It is a perfect balance as these additives will cause interference to other adhesive properties such as strength, rheology, cure speed, flexibility, etc.CONTACT US if you need further assistance.

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.

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.
