The Lock n'Pop adhesive assures that packages won't slide, and yet will separate easily with no evidence of adhesive use.
Designed to work on paper surfaces including kraft, white, printed and non-printed corrugated boxes and multi-walled bags, Lock n'Pop aerosol is safe for indoor use and will reduce transit damage and cost.
This new aerosol is ideal for manual stacking operations, pick-n-pack shipments, or where a 55 gallon drum quantity of Lock n'Pop adhesive is too much.
Like all Lock n'Pop adhesives, the new aerosol is water-based and biodegradable, formulated from non-toxic FDA approved ingredients and is safe for indirect contact with food.
A small amount of the adhesive, sprayed on the surface of one package prior to the next package being stacked on top, works quickly to prevent packages from shifting in just a few seconds, and actual bonding will begin in minutes.
Once set, the bond is not affected by heat, cold, humidity or time.
A simple upward push on the top package releases the bond, and Lock n'Pop adhesive is virtually invisible on package surfaces, leaving no tackiness or trace of disturbance on even highly printed cartons and bags.
Lock n'Pop pallet stabilising adhesives reduce packaging cost, labour cost, and disposal cost.
Shippers can eliminate banding, corner posts, tier sheets and dunnage by using Lock n'Pop adhesives for pallet load stabilisation.
Lock n'Pop can also reduce or completely eliminate the need for stretch wrap.
Unlike gummy glues and hot melt adhesives, Lock n'Pop is applied cold and thus eliminates the danger of burns in the workplace.
