Equipment Protection & Adhesive Removal

Adhesive build-up on glue applicators, presses, clamps, rollers and machinery can increase cleaning time and production downtime. Fortis provides complementary products for both preventative equipment protection and removal of existing cured adhesive contamination.

FORTIS Machinery Glue Release – Prevent Adhesive Build-Up

FORTIS Machinery Glue Release is a water-based, silicone-free release coating that helps prevent polyurethane, PVA, epoxy, melamine, resorcinol and other compatible adhesives from bonding to production equipment. It is ideal for glue applicators, presses, clamps, rollers and woodworking machinery, making dried adhesive easier to remove during routine cleaning.

FORTIS C501 Adhesive Stripper – Remove Cured Adhesive

FORTIS C501 Adhesive Stripper is designed to soften and remove existing cured polyurethane and epoxy adhesive residues from compatible metal machine parts, tools and processing equipment. It is ideal where heavy adhesive contamination has already accumulated.

Prevent build-up with Machinery Glue Release. Remove existing cured adhesive with C501 Adhesive Stripper.
