POLYMERS FOR HOT MELT
ADHESIVES
The challenge The solution
IN HOT MELT ADHESIVES FOR ALL YOUR ADHESIVE NEEDS
A multitude of challenges There are many challenges in working with hot melt adhesives. A too high
viscosity of the adhesive slows blending and impedes wetting, while a high
asks for a multitude of density necessarily leads to high consumption. Some adhesives do not work
solutions with high polymer content formulations, so the hot melt would not be able to
profit from the benefits of a high polymer content like e.g. increased flexibility,
toughness, and maximum bonding strength. Insufficient thermal stability can
lead to gelling and charring, plugging nozzles and therefore causing machine
downtime and maintenance issues. Noticeable adhesive joints are unattractive.
Other issues are invisible, but no less unwelcome: some adhesives emit health
hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and undesirable odors.
