What are hot-melt adhesives?
Hot melt adhesives play a key role in many industries. They allow different materials to be joined permanently and reliably, speeding up production processes and ensuring high quality joints. In this article, we take a look at the different types of hot bonding and their versatile applications.
Types of hot-melt adhesive
Hot-melt adhesives are an extremely popular type of adhesive. They are characterised by the fact that, when heated to the right temperature, they develop a liquid consistency that is easy to apply.
We distinguish between :
- polyolefin PO adhesives
- EVA adhesives
- polyurethane adhesives PSA
- polyurethane PUR adhesives
- polyamide adhesives PA
- polyester adhesives
Different types of hot melt adhesives are available, depending on the needs and requirements of the application. They are widely used in the packaging, furniture, automotive, textile, construction, assembly and many other industries.
Properties of hot-melt adhesives
This type of adhesive has a range of essential properties that have led to the widespread use of them. One of these is their multifunctionality and compatibility with different types of materials. Starting with wood and ending with glass. Regardless of the material being glued, they guarantee durability and robustness. An undoubtedly important property is their short setting time. When the adhesive is heated, it changes its form to liquid, however, after application, it quickly hardens and becomes solid. This makes working with it optimised and efficient.
Advantages of hot-melt adhesives
Hot-melt adhesives, otherwise known as hot glues, play a key role in many industries. One of their biggest advantages is their versatility. They are suitable for bonding different types of materials such as wood, metal, textiles or plastics. They provide the ideal combination of durable and quick-to-use material. They are designed for both professionals and amateurs. Application is also no problem, easy and requires no special skills. As a result, anyone can use them.
Hotmelt adhesive usage
