The technology enables the development of special products designed for niche markets and shorter runs.
It enables UPM Raflatac to expand its standard paper and film product ranges to industries including food and variable information printing (VIP), where hotmelts provide advantages such as high initial tack and reliable adhesion on chilled, moist or rough surfaces.
