Our technology

Purely
water-based.

Every RESCO grade uses water as its carrier. No solvents go into the drum, so only water leaves the joint as it dries.

What is in the drumRESCO N1, typical
0%Organic solvents
52–54%Solids
46–48%Water
0%Solvent

Non-flammable

No solvent to catch fire, in the drum or on the line. One less risk in a plant full of paper.

Safer shop floor

No solvent fumes around your machine operators, all shift long.

Easy cleanup

Rollers, nozzles and glue pots wash clean with water while the adhesive is wet.

Food packaging

Safe to sit next to food.

  • Compliant raw materials. Every raw material in our food-packaging grades is permitted under US FDA 21 CFR 175.105.
  • Documents for your audits. Declarations of compliance and technical data sheets on request, for brand-owner and export audits.

Compliance refers to the raw materials used. Final suitability for food contact depends on the pack structure and its end use.

Substrates

Built for challenging surfaces.

Glossy films and metallised laminates resist wetting. Our grades are formulated to bond them anyway.

Built for high-speed converting

Up to650m/min

on nozzle lines

That is 10.8 metres of board every second. Whether your line glues by nozzle, wheel, cam or stencil, the bond has to grab before the next blank arrives.

Nozzle, line. A continuous bead along the glue flap. Up to 650 m/min.

Achievable line speed depends on grade, machine and substrate.
