Hot Melt Adhesives Production for Corrugated Board. Investment Opportunities in Manufacturing of Packaging Adhesives

 

The hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic adhesive. This adhesive can melt and flow when heated and become rigid on cooling for providing the sturdy adhesion to the surface. They are commonly known as hot glue. Generally, available in the solid cylindrical sticks having various diameters. They are designed to be melted in an electric hot glue gun. The major driving factor for hot melt adhesives market across the globe is low price and potential to be used as a substitute for the other adhesives.

Hot melt adhesives, also known as hot glue, and are in the form of thermoplastic adhesive which is applied using a hot glue gun. The variety of polymers in this class is wide and includes both natural and synthetic ones. It is commonly sold as solid cylindrical sticks of various diameters and can also be applied by spraying or dipping.

Hot melt adhesives are generally 100% solids formulations based on thermoplastic polymers. They are solid at room temperature and are activated upon heating above their softening point, at which stage they are liquid, and hence can be processed. After application, they retain the ability to wet the substrate until they solidify. Upon solidification, they return to a physical state that has structural integrity and can function as an adhesive. The adhesive is applied by extruding, rolling, or spraying and joining is carried out immediately after application or after reheating the solidified layer. The variety of polymers in this class is very wide and includes both natural and synthetic polymers.

Hot melts are used in industry for a wide range of applications. The packaging industry (manufacturing of packaging from paper, cardboard, and corrugated board) is one of the major users. Hot melts are also used in the printing industry for bonding the spines of books, in the textile industry for bonding appliqué, and in the shoe-making industry for bonding for example shoe soles. The wood processing industry uses hot melts for veneer surrounds and edging. The automotive industry employs hot melts for a host of applications including bonding insulating and cushioning materials, bonding headlight covers into metal frames and for wheel covers. The electronics industry also uses hot melts, for example for bonding coil windings and coil ends.

There are several kinds of industrial adhesives available on the market. Hot melt adhesives are polymer based, and are thermoplastic in nature, meaning they are solid at room temperature. These are generally applied as either a molten film or in a series of beads that is converted to a solid form when the materials cool and set. Because hot melt adhesives do not utilize water or solvents, they also have a very fast set time, which makes them the more popular kind of industrial adhesive.

Types of Hot Melt Adhesives

The two most popular types of hot melt adhesives are ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyolefin, or metallocene.

1. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) –this form of hot melt adhesive works well with paper and cellulosic materials and has a wide range of formulation. These adhesives set quickly and offer strong resistance properties and operate in a moderate range of temperatures. They are used in the packaging, converting, paper, automotive, and assembly industries, and are a generally more affordable kind of hot melt adhesive.

2. Polyolefin –these hot melt adhesives are made with a catalyzed metallocene base, and has excellent adhesive qualities and an even faster set speed. It is also extremely resistant and services a vast range of temperatures. These adhesives are also used in the packaging, converting, and assembly industries, but are limited in their range of available formulations; they are also generally more expensive, but definitely more economical on a per-use basis.

Advantages

There are several advantages to using hot melt adhesives. Hot melt adhesives have a very fast set speed, and feature moderate resistance properties. Depending on the formulation being used, they also are also applicable in a wide range of temperatures and industries, and feature excellent adhesive qualities. Along with their affordability and quality, these features continue to make hot melt adhesives the more popular form of industrial adhesive currently available on the market.
