A lubricant, also known as lube or lubrication, is a chemical that aids in reducing friction between surfaces in contact, hence lowering the heat produced when the surfaces move. Additionally, it might be used for force transmission, the transportation of foreign objects, or the heating or cooling of surfaces. Lubricity is the quality that lowers friction.
Hot melt coating is the process of applying a layer to a substrate by first melting the appropriate material, allowing it to cool naturally or under force, and then hardening the layer. Pharmaceuticals, labels, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and other industries use the method extensively.
By melting the desired substance before using it to coat the substrate, hot-melt coating is able to achieve this low to moderate viscosity. After that, the substrate and coated layer are typically cooled by being passed over a chilled roller.
In theory, the method is much quicker than its water- or solvent-based equivalents because there is no liquid to remove.Although the term “hot melt” is frequently used to refer to the application of adhesive layers via slot-die coating, hot melt techniques have also been employed for other coating processes, such as metering rod or roller coating.
The Global hot-melt dry lubricants market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Tetra Pak has introduced a line of hot-melt adhesives and lubricants for use with its own filling equipment in partnership with Henkel. The new adhesives are designed for cap, straw, and secondary packaging applications and offer enhanced bonding, decreased glue use, and lower maintenance costs.
Tetra Pak recently tested the product at Al Buheira Lacnor Dairies in the United Arab Emirates.Operational performance saw a noticeable boost because to the improved adhesives. Tetra Pak also claimed that their new line of synthetic H1 Food Grade lubricants had been improved.The NSF-certified lubricants were created especially for machinery used in the production of food.
