What is Corrugated Plastic?
Corrugated plastic packaging and product assembly is a quickly growing field and until now finding a bulk hot melt that provides excellent bond strength and optimal set time has been difficult if not impossible.
There are three main types of corrugated plastic, laminated sheets, profile sheets and honeycomb, also called bubble sheets. No matter what kind of corrugated plastic you are using, it is a great replacement for fiber corrugated when there is an opportunity to reuse the packaging. It can also hold up to weather and other variables in the environment.
