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. |
