WINDOW AFFIXING ADHESIVES THAT
KEEP YOU MOVING

At 20,000 cartons an hour, you don’t have time for fly-aways, cloudy windows, or adhesive buildup. But that’s exactly what happens when glue sets too slowly, foams on contact, or won’t hold in cold storage.

Capital helps keep every window clean, bonded, and moving at speed.

Our high-tack adhesives grab film on contact, cure with clarity, and resist stringing—even on slick substrates like PET or acetate. Each formula is lab-tested for your exact films, coat weight, and line speed. Operators get clean cutoff and full bond strength without gumming up nozzles. And when you’re under pressure, our team shows up fast—with next-day drums, on-site trial support, and answers that keep production on track.

If film haze, pop-offs, or rework are holding back your shift, we can help.

Window Affixing Adhesive Issues

FORMULATED TO REMEDY ANY ADHESIVE ISSUE

Window affixing looks simple, until glue problems back up your crew. Capital adhesives fix the real issues operators face on fast lines with clear, proven performance.

Fly Aways

Films lift or fly off at speed, especially on slick substrates. Our high wet tack grabs instantly to hold film in place while curing.

Build-Up on Rollers and Nozzles

Glue collects on transfer rollers and nozzles, forcing cleanup stops. Our controlled open time prevents buildup so your line stays clean and running.

Cold Failure

Windows pop off in cold storage or freezer conditions. Our freezer-grade adhesives maintain hold with a softer, high-tack bond that won’t fail under frost.

Window Affixing Substrates

BONDS THAT HOLD EVEN ON THE TOUGHEST FILMS

Window affixing adhesives must grip slippery films without haze, bubbles, or lift. We’ll test formulations on your exact finish, so you get clean, reliable bonds every time.

<span>BONDS THAT HOLD</span> EVEN ON THE TOUGHEST FILMS

Polypropylene (PP)

Adheres cleanly to untreated or surface-treated PP films, resisting slip and haze without needing heat or excess pressure to hold.

Polyester (PET)

Grabs quickly and cures clearly across untreated, corona, plasma, or flame-treated PET—no pop-offs, no whitening, no smears.

Cellulosic Film (Acetate)

Delivers high tack and clarity on acetate films, even without pre-treatment. Clean machining keeps heads and rollers free of stringing.

Polyethylene (PE)

Bonding to PE is tough, but our adhesives form a secure hold without foam, haze, or failure, even on untreated surfaces.

Polystyrene (PS)

Sticks confidently to untreated and treated PS with no residue, warping, or visual distortion. Ideal for pharma and display cartons.
