Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives are used in many industries. Most commonly this type of adhesive is used for packaging, textiles, labels, stamps and envelopes and product assembly processes. Hot melt adhesives may also be used in home construction, aircraft and aerospace assemblies and automotive assembly.
Hot melt adhesives have some limitations. Hot melts cannot be used with heat sensitive components, their adhesive bonds lose strength at high temperatures, high temperatures can cause the adhesive to melt and chemical resistance may be lacking with many types of hot melts.
Because of the demand to reduce or eliminate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from adhesive applications, hot melt adhesive use is expected to increase during the future. Hot melt adhesives do not contain solvents which may be emitted by other types of adhesive. Significant cost-savings may also be achieved by implementing hot melt adhesives instead of solvent-based systems.
