GERMANY –  The new PUR hot melt from Jowat, Jowatherm Reactant 608, facilitates outstanding polyurethane bonds with the superior visual appearance of edge banded wood-based panels known from laser technology.

In premium furniture manufacturing, the value of the end product is more and more determined by the quality of the edgebanded parts. Demands on the adhesives and the adhesive technology have increased dramatically since laser technology and the so-called “zero bondline” were introduced.

PUR hot melts are processed whenever high resistance to heat, water, steam, solvents or cleaners is required. The new Jowatherm-Reaktant® 608.00/01 launched by Jowat is a product that perfectly meets all visual and technical challenges in premium edgebanding.
