HOT MELT AND WATER-BASED ADHESIVES THAT BOND FAST, RUN CLEAN, AND KEEP YOUR FILTRATION LINES ON SCHEDULE.
Most adhesives ship next day, so you stay stocked and avoid downtime.
We test with your team, fine-tune performance, and stay until it's running right.
Every batch meets ISO 9001:2015 standards so you get consistency, compliance, and full traceability.
Adhesive problems in filtration don’t announce themselves — they just quietly drain your shift. A frame pops open here, strings of hot melt build up on the pleating equipment there, and before long, your crew is spending more time cleaning up and chasing rework than actually running production.
You shouldn’t have to work around your adhesive.
With the right adhesive formulated specifically for filtration, your line runs cleaner, your output stays consistent, and your crew isn’t sidetracked by adhesive problems.
Set speed and viscosity matched to your equipment means fewer interruptions and output your crew can actually count on. If air quality is a priority in your facility, low-odor and low-VOC options are available, too. And when something’s not right, you’re talking to someone who knows filtration adhesives and will work through it with you.
With Capital, you get an adhesive that just works — and your crew stops thinking about glue and starts hitting targets.
Air filtration lines run tight tolerances, and adhesive problems show up fast — in rework, in cleanup time, and in shifts that fall short of target.
Here’s what that looks like in practice, and how the right adhesive fixes it.
When frames spring open off the line, it's usually a tack problem, where the adhesive isn't grabbing reliably across your specific frame materials. With an adhesive matched to your substrates your frames stay bonded from the moment they leave the line and hold up through handling and shipping.
Stringing isn't just a mess; it slows cleanup, interrupts production, and can contaminate the filter media itself. When viscosity is dialed in correctly for your pleating equipment, you get clean cut-off, minimal tailing, and operators who spend their time running the line instead of scraping it down.
If your line is ready to run faster but your adhesive can't keep up, the adhesive is likely the bottleneck. But that's a fixable problem. With set speed matched to your line rate and dwell time, you hit output targets without compromising bond quality or adding rework downstream.
From bonding the frame to sealing the edge, every step of filter production puts different demands on your adhesive. Here’s what you can expect at each stage.
Whether you’re bonding to coated or uncoated paperboard, you need a fast set and a hold that doesn’t let go — through handling, shipping, and end use. An adhesive matched to your frame substrate means bonds that pass quality checks the first time and hold up long after they leave your line.
When viscosity is right for your equipment and line speed, you get minimal stringing and no contamination of the filter media. What comes off the line looks and performs exactly as it should.
A reliable edge seal keeps air moving through the filter rather than around it. With an adhesive that bonds cleanly to your edge materials and holds through temperature cycling and extended service, your filters maintain integrity from production through the life of the product.
Your filtration line depends on mechanical precision. Our formulations have been developed and refined through hands-on testing with leading air filtration equipment manufacturers, so you get compatibility you can count on out of the gate.
Whether you're running high-volume automated systems or flexible small-batch production, you get adhesives dialed in to your cycle time, dwell, and output targets.
When the formulation is built around your substrates, equipment, and production conditions, the adhesive runs right the first time.
Every batch meets spec, runs the same, and stays clean through the line. Operators don’t need to tweak settings or troubleshoot mid shift.
Products ship from our Midwest plant on time every time. No delays. No scrambling. Just predictable orders that keep your production on schedule.
When something's not right, we’re there. You get fast answers from someone who knows your machines and works with you until the issue is resolved.
If indoor air quality is a concern in your facility, low-odor and low-VOC formulations are available. Don't choose between operator comfort and adhesive performance.
Your questions matter. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about folding carton adhesives.
No. Low-VOC and no-VOC formulations are available with minimal odor, which is a common requirement in filtration facilities where air quality matters. You get reliable bonding performance without the smell associated with conventional adhesives.
Hot melt products are available in 35 lb boxes (1,120 lbs per pallet) and 1,200 lb bulk bins. Pillow and pellet forms are both available — pillows are typically recommended for faster melt and cleaner handling. Talk to us about which format fits your tank size and throughput. Water-based adhesives are available in 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums, 275 gallon totes, and 5000 gallon tankers.
Hot melt adhesives have a shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture. Water-based adhesives have a shelf life of 6 months. All products are clearly dated, and guidance on storage conditions is available to help protect your investment.
Most air filtration adhesives ship next day from our ISO-certified facility in Mooresville, Indiana. Common formulations are kept in stock so you don’t lose production days waiting on supply.
Yes. A sample ships first so your team can evaluate performance before committing. From there, we join your trial run, go on-site when needed, and stay until performance is dialed in. You get hands-on support, not just product delivery.
Yes. Your current adhesive can be analyzed and matched — or improved — with a ready-to-use product or a custom formulation built around your specific process. Equal or better performance, with no surprises on your line.
Yes. Hot melts are available for a range of frame materials, including cardboard, extruded plastic, and composite frames. Share your substrate combination, and we’ll match the chemistry to it.
Frame pop-opens usually come down to insufficient tack for the substrate, set time that’s too slow for your line speed, or an adhesive that wasn’t formulated for your frame material. The root cause gets diagnosed, and you get a formulation that holds on the first frame and every frame after.
