Hotmelt adhesives are available in solid form as granules, cubes or sticks. They are based on various raw material groups, such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyamide (PA), polyolefin copolymer (PO).

Reactive hotmelt adhesives based on polyurethane (PU hotmelt) undergo an additional crosslinking reaction after cooling.

Hotmelts achieve rapid initial strength

They are applied by means of special equipment or hot melt guns Hotmelt adhesives were developed to bond a variety of substrates, including difficult-to-bond plastics. These adhesives can handle today’s toughest applications in a broad range of industries.

Hotmelts are ideal for applications that require high-speed manufacturing, bonding versatility, very large gap filling, fast green strength, and minimal shrinkage. Hotmelt adhesives offer many benefits – from open times ranging from seconds to minutes, eliminating the need for clamps or fixtures, to long-term durability and excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, oils, and temperature extremes.

Hotmelt products are solvent-free.
