Quality and compliance
What ships with the drum
An adhesive is only as good as its paperwork. Batch traceability is what lets a converter prove, months later, which lot went into which laminate.
ISO 9001:2008
Quality management certification, as stated by the manufacturer. Certificate copy supplied against a specific grade on request.
ROHS and EN 713
Products are stated to meet ROHS and EN 713 requirements. Market-specific migration statements are issued against the end use.
Batch records
Batch number and certificate of analysis with each delivery; technical data sheet issued per grade, not per family.
What to request with a first order
- Technical data sheet for the exact grade, including mix ratio and cure schedule.
- Certificate of analysis for the production batch supplied.
- Safety data sheet in the language required at the destination.
- Migration or food-contact statement for the market the finished pack is sold in.
- Retest or shelf-life statement, if the material will be held in stock.
Why the data sheet is per grade
Publishing one generic table would be worse than publishing none. Two grades from the same family can differ in solids, viscosity and cure profile, and a converter who mixes them up loses a production run. The data sheet is issued against the code and the application, and the sample is sized for a line trial rather than a lab draw-down.
Request the compliance pack for a grade
State the code and the destination market — the documents are issued against both.
