Hot-melt Adhesives


Hot-melt adhesives are thermoplastics that are applied in a molten state and form a bond on cooling to a solid state. After application, they retain the ability to wet the substrate until they solidify.

The adhesive is applied by extruding, rolling, or spraying and joining is carried out immediately after application or after reheating the solidified layer. The variety of polymers in this class is very wide and includes both natural and synthetic polymers.

Explore and learn about various hot-melt adhesives, such as vegan HMAs, sustainable HMAs and latest advances in raw materials.

Hot Melt Adhesives: Basics, Ingredient Selection & Formulation Tips
Thanks to the fast setting speed, relatively low cost (materials and processing), and low environmental impact, hot melt adhesives are widely used in applications (book binding, hygiene etc.). And like any other adhesive formulations, hot melt adhesives require a delicate balancing of constituents relative to the performance and processing properties. The selection of formulation components is determined primarily by the chemical compatibility of the components both during the formulation stage and during the service life stage. Optimal properties and performance can only be exhibited by a formulation where all the components are compatible. Become an expert by learning about:   » Basics...
