When extremely large volumes of hydrocarbon tackifier resins are required, bulk molten tank truck deliveries may be a more economical, time-saving option. Molten resin is shipped in heated (150°–170°C) tank trucks that usually contain between 20 and 25 tons of resin.

Many benefits can be realized by switching from solid (flake/pastille) to bulk molten form including:

• Shorter production cycle times.
• Lower energy requirements.
• Significant reduction of labor costs associated with handling solid (flake/pastille) form.
• Additional labor savings by eliminating the managing and disposing of packaging scrap.
• Frees valuable warehouse space.
• Simpler logistics in tank trucks vs. freight trucks.
