The case
Kiilto: [[Reliable Adhesive Handling]]
Kiilto is a Finnish family-owned chemical company with over a century of experience. The company develops and manufactures chemical solutions across construction, industrial adhesives, fire protection, professional hygiene and consumer goods.
The why
Their needs
Previous alternatives, such as plastic IBCs and Bag-In-Boxes, posed challenges for certain products, as they were hard to handle and unsuitable for moisture-reactive products. Following customer requests, Kiilto adopted Squeeze Solution, which delivers the performance and consistency their operations require.
The how
Their
[[Solution.]]
Kiilto uses 1000-liter Fluid-Bags with aluminum barrier liners to protect adhesive quality. The solution is well suited to wood-industry applications, where stable quality and dependable performance are essential.
Easier handling
Squeeze Solution eliminates the need for return transport and container washing, reducing handling effort and simplifying logistics. In demanding production environments, the lightweight, flexible Fluid-Bags are also easier to work with than rigid IBCs.
Airtight process
The Fluid-Bags eliminate the need for air filters during discharge, allowing the product to be dispensed without air contact and helping maintain adhesive quality throughout use.
Compact storage
Unassembled Fluid-Bags require minimal warehouse space, with 20 units occupying just two pallet positions. After discharge, end users can dispose of the bags immediately through standard recycling, avoiding the space requirements of rigid container storage.
The output
The closed system maintains Kiilto’s product quality from filling to discharge. Airtight protection ensures quality adhesive in, quality adhesive out. Customers also benefit from simplified handling, while Kiilto achieves improved space efficiency.
“I’ve been packing and assembling the Fluid-Bags for about ten years, and I can’t remember any faulty ones. Personally, I think Squeeze Solution works great.”
Kimmo Laaksonen, Production Operator, Kiilto
“What’s really beneficial is that when our customers use our product in the Fluid-Bags, the adhesives can be emptied without any additional air entering, since the bag is squeezed together.”
Jussi Hänninen, Head of RDI, Kiilto
