About the system
Combines motorized roller coaters with a unique hot melt adhesive which provides the following benefits:
Strongest bond possible
Sticks permanently to just about any surface including plastic, wood and metal.
Costs only 4 cents per sq. ft.
Applies a very thin, smooth coating (absolutely no bumps)
Motorized roller coaters apply the coating at 4 seconds per ft.
Adhesive coating will not lose its tack, so you can mount at any time
Non toxic and non hazardous
Adhesive will not transfer to your fingers so it is clean to work with
Coaters require no maintenance. Just turn off the power and you are done.
Maxit motorized roller coaters
Automatically warms up to the proper temperature in about 55 minutes. Press the motor switch, feed your print into the turning rollers and the print automatically receives a smooth, even adhesive coating. Runs at 4 seconds per ft. Heat will not effect inkjet or laser prints. No daily or monthly maintenance. Available in 12, 24 ½ and 36 ½ coating widths.
MX II adhesive
The MX II adhesive is designed to provide unsurpassed adhesion to just about any surface. You only need a very thin coating to obtain the proper bond. After coating the media, the adhesive never dries out, so you can mount at any time. MXII will stick to gatorfoam, sintra, wood, metal and most other surfaces. It is completely safe to use and is non toxic and non hazardous. Refills comes in pellets packed in dissolvable cello bags.
New RP adhesive
RP adhesive is a contact adhesive. After coating your media you have four minutes to mount the media to the substrate. (This adhesive cures out over time). RP provides a permanent bond to just about all surfaces and can be used in all Maxit coaters. The differences between RP and MXII are as follows:
After coating media, RP cures out over time, while MXII never loses its tack
When positioning your media on the substrate, RP is more forgiving than MXII so it is easier to position the media on the substrate.
When adhering two flexible items back to back, RP provides a stiffer bond.
When trimming, RP adhesive will not transfer to the cutting blade, while MXII will since it is a PSA.
RP costs 5 cents per sq. ft while MXII costs 4 cents. Both cost considerably less than most other adhesives.
For doing bookcovers, you should use MXII, not RP, since MXII is more aggressive when turning the cover material over the edge of the chip board.
RP refills come in pellets packed in dissolvable cello bags.
When ordering a Maxit coater, please specify which adhesive you want.
Samples
If you are interested in the Maxit system, you can send us samples of your media. We will coat them with the Maxit adhesive and send them back to you. You can then mount the samples in your shop and see how it works. Send samples to the address on our home page. Be sure to include a note with the following:
