Your Adhesive Is Costing More Than You Think
Beyond unit price, consider:
❌ Energy for hot melts
❌ Solvent disposal fees
❌ Waste from over-application

Water-Based = Lower Total Cost:

• -30% Adhesive consumption (precision application)

• -100% Solvent disposal costs

• -15% Energy vs. hot-melt systems

Real Savings Example:
Company: Mid-size folding carton converter
Savings after switch:
» $18,200/year reduced adhesive usage
» $7,500/year elimination of solvent disposal
» $2,300/month less machine maintenance

3 Cost-Cutting Actions Today:

1. Measure overspill (aim for <3% coverage)

2. Switch to high-solids formulas (less water = lower shipping)

3. Automate viscosity control (reduce manual adjustments)
