Eco Wrap, a compostable industrial strength machine grade stretch film, is here. The latest formula uses a certified compostable resin plus a tackifier additive to make an industrial strength compostable stretch wrap that can be used on most standard automated stretch wrap equipment.

DELO has introduced a thermally conductive battery adhesive for hybrid vehicles. Designed for high-volume series production, DELO-DUOPOX TC8686 is thermally conductive and flame-retardant. The product is currently used in the ramp-up of an automotive supplier.

Since 2018, DELO has saved 3,200 tons of carbon dioxide with a new solution for shipping adhesives. This was achieved with shipping containers that work according to the thermos flask principle. Adhesives enable lightweight design and resource-saving miniaturisation. For technical reasons, many high-tech adhesives have to be transported refrigerated or frozen.

To simplify maintenance and servicing of wave soldering modules, Eutect has announced that it offers a versatile service cart designed for use directly on the machine. Each service cart is tailored to specific customer modules.
