Product Assembly – Industry Solutions
Whatever you’re making, ITW Dynatec can help. Product assembly is about problem solving. Whether you’re assembling composite panels, engineered wood flooring, garage doors or parts for a next generation automobile, ITW Dynatec technologies can help you improve overall performance, lower adhesive costs and minimize costly downtime.
We offer a wide variety of both high output automatic hot melt adhesive applicators as well as hand-held hot melt adhesive applicators for manual operation. If your product assembly operation calls for sealing, gluing, bonding or molding we can supply the right equipment for the job. ITW Dynatec has a variety of adhesive application products suited to various product assembly applications including: liquid moisture cure cold or ambient adhesives (LMC also referred to as liquid urethane reactives), pressure sensitive hot melt adhesives (PSA), polyurethane reactive hot melt adhesives (PUR), standard EVA hot melt adhesive, or an amorphous polyolefin adhesive (APAO).

Advantages of ITW Dynatec’s Non-Contact Application Methods
Contact vs. Noncontact Adhesive Application
| Contact | Non-Contact |
|---|---|
| Cost effective only up to a certain width | ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators can be configured in the exact width you need with no limitations |
| Delivers a limited range of coat weights and uses more adhesive | ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators can deliver extremely low coat weights, saving adhesive |
| Can create adhesive waste due to changes in viscosity under temperature | ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators prevent adhesive from coming into contact with the environment until the moment of application, meaning no early cure and no waste. Its applied only where and when you need it. |
| Requires intense end-of-shift or even after extended breaks in production, cleanup procedures; with additional waste of adhesive. | No flushing involved. Just turn off ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators and go home. |
| Cannot offer a perfectly smooth adhesive application across a wide substrate (deflection) | ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators deliver high-precision, even application at greatly reduced coat weights |
| Doesn’t perform well on raised or three dimensional profiles | ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators apply the perfect amount of adhesives where you need it in the exact way you need it |
| Grabs rough, picky pieces from substrates like wood, creating the need to stop production to clean off the roll | Non-contact means never having a roller to clean |
| Thin or delicate substrates, can wrap themselves on the applicator roll and destroy the substrate | ITW Dynatec UFD™ and Delta Fx™ non-contact applicators never touch the substrate, so they never cause damage and will work effectively on any kind of substrate |
| Over time, hot adhesive will cause the rolls to wear down, creating the need to stop production and send out roller for repair or replacement | No wear items means longer life for all parts with minimal replacement cost |
Product Assembly Adhesive Equipment Solutions
Below is a list of hot melt adhesive equipment commonly used to apply adhesive during product assembly:
