Adhesive & Hotmelt
Adhesive and hot-melt residues build up on nozzles, rollers, tools and equipment during bonding, laminating and packaging. Eco-Nova offers specialist cleaners for hot-melt, emulsion, solvent-based and two-component adhesives – many of which are not classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets.
That’s what it’s all about
Problem and Solution
The challenge
Cured adhesives, hot-melt adhesives and two-component systems are extremely difficult to remove. Scraping them off mechanically damages tools and surfaces, whilst aggressive solvents require explosion protection and personal protective equipment. Furthermore, every hour spent cleaning results in plant downtime.
Our solution
We identify the type of adhesive and substrate and recommend the appropriate cleaner – such as Gluemex for adhesive residues, or Nova Safe S and Topclean as alternatives to traditional solvents; none of these are classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets. There are labelled specialist products available for cured polymers. Try them out first with a free sample.
Typical areas of application
- Hot-melt nozzles and application heads
- Laminating and coating rollers

Technical articles & success stories
Efficiently remove adhesive and hotmelt residues
The variety of adhesives is enormous - from water- to solvent-based formulations, thermal or UV systems to 2K products. Cured and processed adhesives in particular present companies with major challenges, as their removal is often time-consuming and cost-intensive.
Risks associated with conventional cleaning
Many companies still rely on mechanical processes, grinding or harsh chemicals. This puts a strain on materials, takes time and often requires extensive safety measures for staff.
Solution with Eco-Nova industrial cleaners
Our approach: to remove adhesives using specialised cleaning agents that are suited to the specific type of adhesive. Many of these, such as Gluemex, Nova Safe S and Topclean, are not classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets. Continuous development work has resulted in a wide range of products for dealing with a vast variety of adhesive residues.
