All along the product chain, companies are becoming more environmentally conscious in response to customer demands and regulatory requirements. Suppliers must work within existing material availability and costs to find innovative ways to reduce the use of non-sustainable materials and limit waste. Within the adhesives and sealant industry, Sulzer Mixpac has met this need by cutting down on plastic waste while retaining product integrity with its ecopaCC™ collapsible cartridge system.
Properly mixing two-component coatings and adhesives can be difficult. The materials, typically supplied in bulk, must be mixed in accordance with precise written instructions. Many users lack the necessary experience mixing different chemicals together, which can lead to inconsistencies and, in turn, poor curing and even product failure.
