Hot Melt Adhesives

 

 

Hot melt adhesives are thermoset solvent free adhesives, that are characteristically solid at

temperatures below 180 °F,  are low viscosity fluids above 180°F, and rapidly set upon cooling. 

The development of hot melt adhesive technology stemmed from the previous use of molten wax

for bonding.  When this method no longer satisfied performance needs, 100 percent thermoplastic

systems were introduced.  Hot melt adhesives are made of tackifying resins, waxes, antioxidants,

and plasticizers.  Today, hot melt adhesives are used in a variety of manufacturing processes, including

bookbinding, product assembly, and case and carton seal. 

 

Palmetto Adhesives offers its customers a variety of hot melt products from the original EVA products

(low temp and 350° F products), polyamides, and even the latest technology and extremely popular

metallocene based hot melts.

 

Hot melt adhesives comes in many shapes and sizes such as chicklets, micro-chicklets, pellets, pillows, buttons, slats, half slats, zero-packs and bricks.  Case size can also vary from 25 lbs to 1000 lb Gaylord containers.  See your Territory Manager for details.
