BAM encompasses multiple product groups and markets from packaging, labeling, woodworking, converting, and bookbinding.
Back in 1976, when Bob Adams and Len Beardow founded Beardow Adams, there was an immediate need to identify the products as being manufactured by them. It was here that the BAM (short for Beardow Adams Melt) was given. After acquiring Beardow Adams in 2023, H.B. Fuller decided to keep the BAM brand to acknowledge the respect and quality gained by Beardow Adams in its nearly 50 years of operations.
Hot melt adhesives that set the bar high when it comes to performance. Clean running, low odor with high adhesion, BAMFutura adhesives attain that standard.
In 1998, Beardow Adams launched the ground-breaking BAMFutura 1 hot melt adhesive for packaging. BAMFutura 1 is an example of a preferred hot melt case and carton sealing adhesive because it allows its users to see savings in real time, with a low odor, highly stable adhesive. The range has continued to grow and evolve. BAMFutura hot melt adhesives encompasses countless industry applications in packaging, labelling, woodworking, and bookbinding markets.
BAMFutura adhesives do not char in the hot melt tank, are clean running, with high adhesion and can be used across a wide range of production speeds. They also offer exceptional thermal stability for both color and viscosity change. During seven-day trials, viscosity changed by less than 1%, with minimal discoloration. This unique characteristic eliminates the nozzle blockages and viscosity variances associated with less advanced adhesives. These can continually disrupt on-site production, adding both cost and time to production. In addition, low temperature flexibility and heat resistance enable BAMFutura adhesives to be used with confidence in applications that may be exposed to extremes of temperature. BAMFutura adhesives are:
BAMFutura adhesives are inert, virtually odor-free and commonly pearl white in color, making them perfect for most packaging and labelling applications. They provide strong and reliable adhesion without tainting foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals or other delicate products. Improved bonding to a wide range of materials, reducing adhesive inventory and competitive pricing are among a host of other real value-adding benefits.
Our hot melt adhesive expertise and commitment to research and development enable us to regularly enhance the BAMFutura range with new products in new markets and applications, enabling us to keep pace with the ever-changing requirements of our customers.
