| Abstract |
Fusion adhesives, applied in the molten state, bond materials while they harden. They are widely used in the paper and cardboard converting industry, for example in the manufacturing of boxes. Some of these adhesives, such as the polyurethane fusion adhesives, contain isocyanates. These are toxic, may lead to allergies and some (such as the diphenylmethane diisocyanate) are carcinogenic. Exposure to diphenylmethane diisocyanate has been limited in Germany to 0.05mg/m3. In order to keep the exposure to harmful substances during heating and application of fusion adhesives low, the use of exhaust hoods for drawing off all fumes at the point of origin, of covers and of lower temperatures for melting the adhesives are recommended. |
