About Us
Sustainability is a key area of focus in 2024 and with innovations such as Technomelt Supra 081 ECO, the world’s first carbon negative hot melt adhesive, you can start having an impact straight away. We can introduce you to novel ideas, such as pallet stabilisation with Technomelt Supra Easyflow, taking you through initial trials all the way to line installations, supporting you every step of the way.
We have partnerships with equipment providers such as Timmer Pumps GmbH and Power Adhesives Limited — the UK’s leading manufacturer of industrial glue guns and glue sticks. Power Adhesives are renowned for their innovative approach to hot melt technology, constantly pushing the boundaries of performance and sustainability. Their latest development, Tecbond 214B, is a groundbreaking biodegradable hot melt adhesive designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising on bond strength or versatility.
Through our close relationship with Power Adhesives, we’re able to supply cutting-edge hot melt systems tailored to diverse applications — from packaging and product assembly to flooring, woodworking, and display manufacture. Combined with our strong connections to all major adhesive equipment suppliers, we can facilitate every aspect of the bonding process. If it needs glueing, we can cover it all!
A big part of what makes us unique are the people that work at Direct Adhesives. With many years of experience and an in-depth knowledge of adhesives and their usage we can provide a pragmatic approach to your process.
