On April 26, 2025, the first phase of Brite-Line’s radiation-curing hot melt adhesive project was officially put into production, marking Brite-Line’s success in building a whole industry chain innovation system from upstream raw materials, core equipment to end products, which will provide more competitive high-performance adhesive solutions for China and even the global market.
Radiation curing hot melt adhesives: technological innovation drives industry upgrading
Hongda New Material is located in Cangzhou, Hebei Lingang National Economic and Technological Development Zone, covers a total area of 100,000 square meters, a project construction area of 21,000 square meters, is currently the world’s adhesive industry’s most large-scale radiation curing hot melt adhesive production enterprises.
The production line adopts highly specialized design and supports in-depth customized development. Through continuous optimization of process solutions, upgrading of technology and equipment, and the introduction of DCS automatic control system, Hongda New Material has achieved an automation rate of more than 95% of the production process, which significantly improves the efficiency and at the same time ensures the stability and reliability of the products.
As a technology leader, Brite-Line researches and develops radiation curing hot melt adhesive technology, and has owned many invention patents in 12 countries around the world. The company adheres to innovation-driven development and promotes the transformation of China’s adhesive industry to high-quality development through high-quality, environmentally friendly products. Hongda New Material’s UV/EB curing hot melt adhesive not only meets the quality requirements of customers for basic materials, but also provides a full range of technical support for downstream applications, including process optimization, energy efficiency, R&D and innovation.
Green Manufacturing: Defining a New Standard for Environmentally Friendly Adhesives
Ultraviolet (referred to as UV) and electron beam (referred to as EB) radiation curing hot melt adhesive technology, in the use of the process of solvent-free emissions, without the need for supporting solvent recovery facilities, with high efficiency, energy saving, wide applicability, environmentally friendly, etc., is recognized by the international industry as the 21st century’s most promising green adhesive solutions.
The UV/EB curing hot melt adhesive produced by Hongda New Material is the most environmentally friendly solution in the field of pressure sensitive adhesive with its unique solvent-free acrylic polymer structure. Its innovative hot melt coating process breaks through the limitations of traditional heat curing technology, eliminating multiple complex processes, realizing efficient coating of the substrate, and bringing significant cost reduction and efficiency advantages for end-use applications.Relying on a strong R&D team and its own core technology, Brite-Line continues to provide customers around the world with high-performance new materials and ancillary process solutions, and promotes the green and sustainable development of the adhesive industry.
Industrial upgrading: to meet the global high-end market demand
Although the application of radiation curing technology in the field of adhesives started late in China, it has achieved leapfrog development in recent years under the joint efforts of national policies and the industry.Brite-Line continues to plough into the field of radiation curing hot melt adhesives, from the successful research and development of UV curing hot melt adhesives to overcoming the technological difficulties of EB curing hot melt adhesives, and successfully applying the research and development results to the high-end adhesive products industry by virtue of the innovative breakthroughs, always staying at the forefront of innovation in the industry. Walking in the forefront of industry innovation. Through the integration of material, process and equipment technology advantages, the company is promoting the comprehensive application of radiation-curing hot melt adhesives in high-end fields.
As national laws and regulations on environmental protection requirements continue to improve, the market space of traditional solvent-based adhesives will continue to contract, and radiation curing hot melt adhesives with its environmental characteristics and excellent performance, will become the core driving force for industrial upgrading. The commissioning of the Cangzhou base of Brightline Technology not only fills the blank of domestic high-end production capacity, but also significantly enhances the technical discourse and competitiveness of Chinese enterprises in the global adhesive market.
The successful commissioning of Hongda New Material’s radiation-curing hot melt adhesive project marks that China’s radiation-curing hot melt adhesive technology has fully reached or even surpassed the international advanced level. In the future, with the continuous expansion of innovative applications, this green technology will surely give birth to more high-performance adhesive solutions, and win a larger international market share for Made in China.
