UFD™ - Fiberized Spray Applicator
ITW Dynatec’s UFD Spray Applicators are air-operated, single or multi-module hot melt adhesive applicator assemblies with integrated basket filters, which prevent particulate
matter from obstructing flow through the heads.
Overview
UFD® Brand fiberized spray applicators provide exceptional value and adhesive savings when compared to spiral spray and other traditional applicator heads. With ITW Dynatec’s patented UFD® Omega™ and random fiber patterns, UFD® Brand applicator heads provide up to 50% adhesive savings by using much less glue while maintaining, if not improving, bond strength.

The Dynatec Difference
Patented Technology
Many companies say that they are innovators by providing techniques for laying down fiberized adhesive (spiral swirl and random fiber), but only ITW Dynatec has the patents to prove it.
ITW Dynatec invented Laminated Plate Technology, which is used in all ITW Dynatec UFD nozzles and is the most effective way to lay down fiberized adhesive. The unique and patented configuration of the laser cut, stainless steel-laminated plates is the only configuration on the market that allows the production of the Omega™ adhesive pattern and the production of the most effective Random Fiber pattern available.
This new product spawned many imitators, but none have been able to match the performance provided by ITW Dynatec’s Laminated Plate Technology. When you use UFD Fiberized Spray applicators from ITW Dynatec, you can be certain that you are using the best product on the market.
