 The company's offering of hot melt adhesives now includes Full-Care 5650 and Full-Care 5300 for construction applications. Both products build upon H.B. Fuller's 10 year history of delivery in polyolefin technology, now offering even more supply assurance due to a platform approach from more available sources.

 "H.B. Fuller has a legacy of bringing innovative solutions to the hygiene market," said Heather Walch, North American business director for nonwovens hygiene at H.B. Fuller. "We added two new offerings to our Full-Care line of construction products because we saw gaps in the marketplace where improved odour, higher performance and further cost in use were needed."

 According to the company, Full-Care 5650 offers customers low odour combined with robust cost in use and provides added flexibility across a wide variety of substrates. Full-Care 5300 has been developed for the lowest odour combined with significant improvements in bonding performance to enable potential lower add-ons.

 In addition, H.B Fuller has introduced Full-Care 8500 for elastic attachment and stretch laminates. Full-Care 8500 is a hot melt adhesive offering increased choice to customers with demanding elastic attachment and stretch laminate applications. “Balancing robust performance with outstanding economics, the adhesive provides great bonding in high stress applications and a lower total cost of ownership,” the company says.

For over 125 years, H.B. Fuller has been a leading adhesives provider focusing on perfecting adhesives, sealants and other specialty chemical products. Recognized for its technical support and innovation, H.B. Fuller aims to bring knowledge and expertise to help its customers find precisely the right formulation for the right performance. With fiscal 2012 net revenue of $1.9 billion, H.B. Fuller serves customers in packaging, hygiene, general assembly, paper converting, woodworking, construction, automotive and consumer businesses.
