Discover Cool Confidence With Kizen™ Freezer-Grade Adhesives

Product manufacturers whose goods require refrigeration for shipping and storage face several distinct challenges. This is especially true when freezer temperatures are involved. Bostik has the knowledge—and the adhesives—you need to bring your products to the consumer as intended.

Performance at Lower Temperatures

Some hot-melt adhesives may become brittle and lose their adhesion when subjected to colder conditions. Freezer-grade formulations are designed to maintain bond strength after prolonged exposure to sub-zero environments—and even the most extreme uses.

At lower temperatures, excellent moisture resistance can also be a concern. Adhesives should maintain their hold as colder air forces water to condense and settle on product packaging.

But resistance to cold and moisture is only the beginning of what manufacturers like you look for in an adhesive. The hot melt should also satisfy manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

Fast Setting and Curing

To keep up with consumer demand, today’s production lines operate at accelerated speeds. Freezer-grade glues need to offer fast set speeds to ensure secure adhesion before products reach cold storage.

Machinery Compatibility

Application equipment used in packaging operations can have a wide range of requirements for the adhesive’s attributes. For smooth operation, you need options that work seamlessly with your existing machinery.

Cost-Effectiveness

Balancing performance with cost is an ongoing challenge for packaging industries. Finding a reliable adhesive that helps to control costs can be one key to your success. Benefits to look for can include minimal add-on, low charring, and precise application.

Food Safety Compliance

One common category for cold storage is foodstuffs. For safety, adhesives intended for primary packaging of consumables need to be FDA-approved. This ensures no harmful chemicals migrate from the adhesive to the food.

Sustainability Concerns

Regulations supporting a more circular economy continue to expand into new markets and regions. As a producer, you need to know which adhesives have been evaluated and found to support guidelines for recyclability, compostability, and even independent labeling criteria. Our adhesive experts can help.
