Astro Packaging offers the lowest temperature freezer-grade case and carton sealing hot-melt adhesive available on the market. Our freezer grade hot glue has a wide operating temperature range. The adhesive is already being used successfully by manufacturers and packagers of consumer ice cream, dairy and poultry products. The sealing solutions are designed to eliminate the char-related
problems packaging line operators experience with traditional hot melt
adhesives and their application equipment. Char, the largest single
cause of adhesive application malfunctions, is the substance produced by
overheated hot melt or outside contaminants in the melt unit, which can
clog filters, hoses and nozzles and bring packaging lines to a halt.
