HOT MELT APPLICATIONS

Hot melts are used in a wide variety of industries, such as construction and electronics industries. Metals, plastics and paper are a few of the materials to which hot melts work excellent with and provide great adhesion. They have also been used in some book binding processes, but it is very uncommon whereas others use natural, eco-friendly glues such as our animal glue.

Hot melt glues are manufactured in pellets, pillows and glue sticks form. The proper form depends on the application, size of operation and the function of the hot melt glue in product production. 
 

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HOT MELT GLUES

• Polymer-the component of hot melts that determines its strengths, toughness and flexibility
• Wax- waxes are selected for controlling the open time and set speed of the hot melt
• Antioxidant-they are added to improve the pot life (prevent charring and other oxidation reactions)
• Plasticizers and/or diluents are sometimes also added to improve the flow characteristics and modify the viscosity and open time of the hot melt

ADVANTAGES OF HOTMELT ADHESIVES

• Aggressive bonds
• Reduced char
• Low/no odor
• No stringing/ Tailing
• Increased Mileage-Reduced viscosity gain
• Light in color
• Clean machining
