There’s no reason companies can’t take advantage of PUR’s myriad benefits without the headaches. By following a few installation, operation and maintenance tips, PUR dispensing technology can offer excellent product results, consistent operation, and minimal downtime.

 Adjusting to new operating procedures can be a challenge, but the benefits of hot-melt PURs far outweigh these drawbacks. The range of PURs available allows for an ideal match to suit your application. However, it also means that each PUR has different characteristics. For example, some tolerate longer heat exposure while others cure quickly in high-heat environments.

 Is PUR the right material for the job? All adhesive options should be considered to ensure that PURs are the best fit for a given application. Your adhesive supplier will recommend the type and form of adhesive for a specific application, taking into consideration manufacturing-process and finished-product requirements.

 While using PUR can provide cost savings, including reduced adhesive and energy usage and optimized labor, both the hot-melt PUR material and dispensing equipment are typically more expensive than traditional hot-melt adhesive and equipment, influencing the payback period in your return on investment analysis. Ask your equipment provider for a budgetary cost estimate so your internal capital request covers the amount you need for PUR dispensing equipment.
