Bostik launches new offerings in high-performance specialty hot melt pellet, powder, web and film adhesives

Bostik (Colombes, France) a global leader in adhesives for the construction, consumer and industrial markets, is aiming to increase its share of the global thermobonding market following the expansion of its specialty hot melts product offering.

Having completed acquisition of Prochimir and Fixatti, Bostik is redefining high-performance technical hot melts by launching new offerings in pellet, powder, web and film adhesives for use in automotive, building, transfer printing and textiles, as well as other industries. The company aims to increase its leadership by utilizing its vertically-integrated resin formulation abilities and a unique global supply chain.

“As today’s global society evolves, placing more emphasis on sustainability and supply chain resilience, our team of experts recognized the value that being a one-stop-shop, specialty hot melt solution provider would bring to our customers,” says Guillaume Desurmont, senior vice president at Bostik. “Our proud track record in providing customers with safe and sustainable solutions to address their adhesive problems will enable us to continue investing in the right resources and requirements to ensure we strengthen our position as the market leader in the Specialty Hot Melts space. We are committed to bringing customers the right thermobonding solution and supporting their innovation and reducing the environmental impact through our Specialty Hot Melts.”

Bostik’s new range of web, film and powder adhesives is specifically adapted to each customer’s need and designed to enable clean production practices. “Following the acquisitions of Prochimir and Fixatti over the last two years, we are not only in a position to offer customers the best of what all three organizations have to offer, but also improve on the quality of product and service they receive,” notes Desurmont.
