Packaging hot melt adhesives

A packaging hot melt adhesive is a type of 100% thermoplastic polymer adhesive that remains solid at room temperature. When heated above its softening point, which is relatively low compared to many packaging components, the hot melt adhesive liquefies. This property allows it to be easily applied to various packaging materials and other applications.

Here are some key points about packaging hot melt adhesives:

  • Composition: These adhesives are made from a thermoplastic polymer and do not contain water or organic solvents.
  • Application: Packaging hotmelts are commonly used for bonding in packaging processes, such as sealing cartons, cases, and trays.

Advantages of hotmelt adhesives

Hot melt adhesives are easy to applicate, these adhesives are simple to apply, especially in high-speed manufacturing environments. Hot melt adhesives offer cost savings due to their efficiency and extended shelf life. Hot melt adhesives have minimal environmental impact.

Different types of hot melt adhesives

There are different types of hot melt adhesives, including polyurethane-based ones that work well for case, carton, and tray sealing applications. In summary, packaging hot melt adhesives provide a fast, reliable, and eco-friendly solution for modern manufacturing needs. They play a crucial role in creating strong bonds in various packaging materials, ensuring product integrity and efficiency
