AdTech is a long-time producer of glue guns, hot melts, glue runners, and other adhesive-related accessories. These products are designed primarily for the craft industry, but they also have an industrial division with nozzles, guns, and bulk products.
Among these industrial products is the AdTech 645 hot melt adhesive. Unfortunately, AdTech 645 has been discontinued and is no longer being sold to distributors in any size.
Any companies that have been using this product will need to look for other options when it comes time to restock their AdTech 645. While limited product may still be available in some places, this is not a long-term solution for businesses. Instead, these companies will need to find an alternative product to meet their needs.
A Closer Look at AdTech 645
The AdTech 645 adhesive is specifically designed to bond paper and cardboard for carton closing applications. It is a high output, low viscosity hot melt adhesive. With a compression set time of one to three seconds, it is great for fast production times. The hot melt also boasts excellent wetting for reliable and lasting bonds. The Adtech 645 glue can withstand temperatures up to 160°F (71°C) and has the added benefit of being non-toxic.
Because of these various properties, AdTech 645 was an excellent choice for many businesses for their carton closing applications. Unfortunately for them, they will need to find an alternative to AdTech 645 as it is no longer being manufactured.
AdTech 645 Is No Longer Available. What Now?
The AdTech 645 hot melt glue has been discontinued with the new production of the adhesive being halted. Some distributors may still have reserves of the product on hand to sell to businesses in need, but this supply is sure to dwindle quickly. Those companies looking to buy AdTech 645 will need to find another solution quickly to avoid downtime or other stalls in production.
