GMerix Partners with Elite Cameron to Introduce UV Hot Melt Coating Technology 

Innovation thrives when expertise meets precision. GMerix, a specialist in advanced coating and toll coating services, and Elite Cameron, a global leader in high-performance coating and laminating equipment and solutions, are excited to announce a new collaborative milestone. By integrating cutting-edge UV hot-melt coating technology into the GMerix production platform, the two companies are working together to push the boundaries of what is possible in the pressure-sensitive and specialty materials market. 

This partnership combines GMerix’s deep application expertise with Elite Cameron’s state-of-the-art engineering. The new line is designed as a collaborative hub for innovation, supporting pilot-scale R&D, to high-volume commercial production.  

“This added capability is a fantastic addition to an already capable machine.’ comments Rob McNamee, VP of Sales and Ops at Elite Cameron. “We’re seeing growth in the UV acrylic hot melt space, and with GMerix’s knowledgeable team, we’ll be able to use this machine to help take a concept and prove its merit in a controlled environment.” 

“This UV curing system, integrated with in-line real-time UV dose measurement, ensures precise curing control and delivers consistent, repeatable results. It enables label converters to explore UV hot melt technology as an alternative to conventional adhesive systems and as a more sustainable alternative to solvent-based systems without compromising performance, whether for product development trials or full-scale commercial production,” said Ali Rabea, Director of Product Development and Operations at GMerix. 

A Versatile Coating Resource for the Toll Coating Industry 

This new capability is designed to serve as a resource for companies interested in  UV hot melt adhesive development and commercialization. It enables UV hot melt adhesive manufacturers to validate and optimize their products using UV hot melt technology on a production-scale coating line before commercialization. At the same time, it bridges the gap between UV hot melt adhesive manufacturers and label converters by allowing them to evaluate UV hot melt technology as a replacement for existing adhesive systems or for developing new products before making capital investments in new coating equipment. 

By combining GMerix’s application expertise with Elite Cameron’s advanced coating technology, converters, material manufacturers, and printers gain a faster, more flexible path from product development to commercial production.  

This partnership is focused on delivering high-quality, efficient, and reliable adhesive solutions to the specialty material sector.
