In 2015, we were challenged with developing a 14-head, 140/min, continuous-motion bottle filler to fill blow-molded bottles. It was during this project that we first began to work with Morrison Container Handling Solutions, and we began to rethink how we could transfer cartridge containers through our filling systems.

Within today’s diverse adhesive and sealants product segments, encompassing very different markets such as retail, architectural, industrial, and aerospace applications, all buyers and end users depend on clearly labeled containers. Since different label formats are available for a multitude of container geometries, it is helpful to understand the basics of labeling choices for future projects.

Many different factors should be explored when determining the proper package for a sealant or adhesive. Important considerations include cost, size, compatibility, appearance, ease of disposal, application, and many others—all of which can affect the decision regarding what package system is best for a particular product. Let’s look at an example of how similar factors could apply to a decision many people face on a regular basis.

Premixed and frozen (PMF) refers to plural-component resin systems delivered in syringes and cartridges that are premixed and frozen in dry ice.

Sulzer recently announced that it has won Packaging Europe’s packaging innovation competition in the Resource Efficiency category with ecopaCC collapsible packaging for adhesives and sealants.

Adhesives and sealants are truly everywhere, and their use is growing daily: from the cars we drive and the homes we build to the planes we fly in and the phones that we rely on so much.

One of the latest developments to impact two-component fluid dispensing performance and waste reduction is the release of side-by-side, collapsible film-based cartridges.*
