High-Heat Resistant Hot Melt Glue for Hot Fill Packaging – BC Adhesives

Hot fill products

Sealing cases in hot fill applications presents unique challenges, requiring an adhesive that can withstand extreme temperatures without failing. Whether you’re packaging bag-in-box liquids, cream cheese, or other high-temperature products, BC Adhesives provides hot melt glue designed for superior heat resistance, ensuring your cases stay securely sealed, even under intense conditions.

When sealing cases immediately after filling, standard adhesives can soften, weaken, or cause pop-opens due to the high temperatures. Our hot fill approved hot melt adhesives are formulated to maintain strong bonds and structural integrity, even when exposed to extreme heat.

The following testimonial comes from the plant manager of a large Wisconsin manufacturing corporation, providing evidence of our capabilities and commitment to our customers:

“I have been working in partnership with BC Adhesives for nearly 20 years now. Over that time, we have been through many changes in the industry—both materials and business practices. Terry and BC have been great to work with.”

“Even when there were problems with raw materials back in the 90s they stood behind their products many times by coming into our facility to help us solve the problem at no cost to us. Not too many companies I know of will stand behind their products with the integrity of BC.”

“In the new age of cost savings, Lean manufacturing and Just-in-Time, BC has the expertise to assist in every facet of the business. They work closely with equipment experts to create solutions that will reduce glue usage—yes, I said they reduce tonnage of the product they sell. In order for BC to be successful they want their customers to be successful—a cost, but ethically the right thing to do in the end.”

Several years ago, Rebecca Reker from BC Adhesives changed the game on all the adhesive we use. They worked on our schedule, worked with our operators and found us better products for our everyday operations. Not only a better product but saving us money as well. They have a well-educated staff that is fun to work with. Highly Recommended.
