JOWAT: Flushing Agent
Jowat® 930.54 is a 2-in-1 solution developed specifically for cleaning and flushing melting units used for processing PUR hot melt adhesives. Combining two processing steps in one, it effectively flushes PUR hot melt adhesives from applicator systems and reliably stops undesired crosslinking reactions. Following a short soak time, it is capable of detaching and removing even partially cured adhesive residues.
Demonstrating an exceptional ability to clean PUR hot melt adhesives, it also provides good results with EVA and PO hot melt adhesives. A key differentiator from comparable products on the market, it does not have the oily texture that is widely considered a drawback during processing, instead featuring a dull, wax-like consistency that leaves only minimal traces.
After all remaining adhesive has been drained, the product is introduced and melted at 100 °C to 140 °C, with higher temperatures enhancing the cleaning effect. Following a minimum soak time of 30 minutes, the mixture is ready for flushing. The low viscosity enables Jowat 930.54 to penetrate beneath residues, while its tough texture helps carry away detached particles cleanly. The product is compatible with widely used tank and bag melters.
It can be used in all industries processing PUR hot melt adhesives. The product addresses all processors of PUR hot melt adhesives, independent of production line size. It is currently available in the following packaging sizes: cubes (silicone paper tray, carton, 8 kg in total), 1.5 kg slug (aluminum lining, cardboard sleeve), and 15 kg slug (aluminum lining, cardboard hobbock).
