BAM and BAMFutura

Discover BAM and BAMFutura: H.B. Fuller hot-melt adhesives for packaging and labeling. High adhesion, low odor, and thermal stability.

Why choose BAM Hot Melt adhesives

The hot-melt adhesives from H.B. Fuller’s BAMFutura range represent one of the most advanced solutions available today for packaging and labeling applications. Their white transparent formulation makes them perfect for invisible bonding, ideal in sectors where aesthetics are as important as durability.

Designed to ensure high performance on high-speed automatic lines, these adhesives are compatible with all types of cardboard and paperboard, including challenging materials like coated cartons, PET/PP laminates, and metallized polyester. Food-grade and BRC certified, they are free of mineral oils and formulated to meet the highest safety standards.

Thanks to technology that prevents oxidation, carbonization, and stringing, BAMFutura ensures smoother production with fewer machine stoppages. The viscosity remains stable even during long dwell times in melting tanks, drastically reducing consumption and equipment maintenance.

With BAMFutura for packaging and labeling, you get:

  • Quick and secure bonding on rigid, memory, or laminated cartons
  • No oxidation or carbonization during prolonged use
  • Reduction in adhesive consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional hot-melts
  • Reduced equipment maintenance by up to 90% (glue modules, filters, nozzles last longer)

BAMFutura adhesives for labeling

In the labeling sector as well, BAMFutura stands out for reliable performance on any type of line. Whether it’s cold bottles or hot containers, plastic, glass, or metal bottles, these formulations adapt perfectly to spray or roller machines, fed by reel or loader, always ensuring secure bonding and easy workability.

Some adhesives in the range have been specifically developed for PET bottles with expansion and are approved by recycling bodies due to their solubility in alkaline substances and ease of residue-free removal. The stable viscosity and high thermal stability make these hot-melts particularly suitable for low-maintenance plants.

The main advantages for labeling with BAMFutura include:

  • Effective adhesion on HDPE, PET, glass, metal containers
  • Compatibility with wet, hot, or shrinkable bottles
  • No visible residue: clean and easily removable labels
  • Solutions compatible with PET recycling (alkaline-soluble formulations)
  • Minimal maintenance thanks to the thermal and chemical stability of the formula

Other BAM formulations

In addition to the BAMFutura line, the BAM catalog includes numerous formulations specific to particular needs in industrial packaging and labeling. Each adhesive is developed to optimize a precise production process, ensuring high performance and consistent reliability even on critical materials.
