Intercol offers a large range of detection materials suitable for all types of application equipment and methods. This allows us to select and/or develop an adhesive formulation that offers detectability for your specific application and high speed machinery.
The materials that are currently used to enable automated detection of glue beads and/or dots by camera systems, seem to be failing in a increasing number of applications. This is caused by the increased levels of optical brighteners used in the manufacturing of recycled paper and carton materials. It is a generally known problem for which adhesive application system manufacturers and Intercol have been developing alternatives. We can now let you know that we have succeeded !
We have been able to develop a detection material that is not influenced by the optical brighteners inside the paper and carton substrates and which will offer a reliable and accurate detection system under all conditions.
Extensive tests and trials have shown that the use of the material in our selected formulations does not affect adhesive characteristics and is safe to use.
Intercol closely cooperates with all market parties involved and is able to offer an adhesive solution for any situation.
