LOCK N' POP Palletizing and Stabilizing Adhesives
LOCK N' POP, a non-toxic, water-based cohesive, secures packages together to eliminate side-to-side shifting, ensuring load stability throughout the transportation cycle. Stronger than stretch wrap and significantly less expensive, LOCK N' POP is an effective solution to help reduce costs, plastic and other materials, while providing maximum load stability. LOCK N’ POP allows companies to reduce or eliminate their use of slip-sheets, corner boards, dunnage bags and stretch film, while increasing their pallet load stability during shipment. Superior to hot melt, LOCK N’ POP is a cost effective environmentally friendly adhesive that works either by itself, or in conjunction with stretch wrap. Using compact, inexpensive and virtually maintenance free equipment, LOCK N’ POP secures each box, holding packages together from the inside out, yet allowing packages to easily pop apart by simply lifting. The shear strength created by LOCK N’ POP keeps packages from shifting side to side, virtually eliminating intermodal shipping damage. Five formulas designed specifically for boxes, bags and frozen packages, and works on most surface types, while leaving no visible or sticky residue, so it does not tear the package.
LOCK N' POP can be applied to the product in a variety of ways each with their own specific benefits, in addition to this some of the U85 and U150 applicators are only available in specific regions to suit regional requirements.
