Best Fit
Start with 1012 when paper cartons or boxes must be fixed quickly after compression on an automated line. Actual fit still depends on board coating, recycled content, glue amount, compression time and ambient conditions.
GRADE 1012
1012 Fast-Setting Hot Melt Adhesive for Packaging Lines
1012 is a fast-setting hot melt adhesive granule grade for high-speed carton sealing, paper boxes and automated packaging lines where rapid fixation and stable production are required.

Packaging Materials
Evaluate the actual corrugated board, kraft paper or paperboard used in production. Surface dust, coating and recycled fiber can change wetting and fiber-tear performance.
Production Conditions
Confirm tank and hose temperature, nozzle condition, line speed, glue-line pattern and compression window. The published application range is a starting window rather than a substitute for a line trial.
What to Test
Compare immediate fixation, fiber tear, heat-loaded holding, cold-condition opening, stringing and adhesive stability during continuous heating.

Grade 1012 FAQ
Is 1012 intended only for one carton type?
No. It is positioned for paper packaging, but each board construction, coating and line window should be checked with actual materials.
What should we send for a sample evaluation?
Send the carton material, current adhesive, line temperature, speed, glue pattern, compression time and a description of the failure mode.
