H.B. Fuller flexible packaging North American sales manager Brian Glasbrenner said the company's Flextra Fast range of products offer increased line speed for food packaging.
"We evaluated our existing line and saw an opportunity to develop two new products to give our customers more choices to better meet their specific performance and application needs," Glasbrenner added.
The Flextra Fast SFA8605 Solvent Free Laminating Adhesive is said to be suitable for snack applications including stand up pouches for dry snacks and offers line speeds up to 1200 fpm.
