Reducing adhesive stringing in production
Step 1

Stabilize Heat First

Most stringing starts with temperature drift. Keep tank, hose, and nozzle zones aligned and avoid overheating during idle periods. Large temperature swings change viscosity and create unstable pull-off behavior.

For production teams, record temperature every shift and compare against stringing rate. A stable baseline is necessary before changing models.

Step 2

Correct Nozzle and Bead Settings

Oversized bead and poor nozzle condition often cause long tails. Verify nozzle cleanliness, replace worn tips, and reduce bead size gradually while maintaining bond coverage.

Many lines can reduce stringing with process tuning before changing material. If tuning is insufficient, move to a lower-stringing model with the same target set time.
