There are many materials that are hot and melt. Hot melt is also known as hot melt adhesive or hot melt adhesive (HMA), to be more specific than a hot melt is an adhesive.
Hot melt glue components
In principle, a hot melt adhesive consists of thermoplastic materials. Usually this is
- A polymer such as a EVA or Polyolefin, as a base.
- A resin to increase adhesion and tack.
- One was to make the hot melt thinner and quickly setting.
The above composition is a general standard composition with which the hot melt as an adhesive has become successful
Applications with these hot melt adhesives are:
- Closing of packages
- Cardboard
- Plastic
- Glass
- Assembly of wooden furniture
- Book binding
- Assembly
- Filter production
- Kitchen appliances
- Automotive
- Textile
