Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free formulations which become liquid when heated and are applied in molten state.
To achieve a good degree of wetting, the substrates have to be joined within the open time. Hot melts are characterised by a very rapid build-up of internal strength on cooling. They are physically hardening thermoplastic adhesives which are already present in their final chemical state.
Modern hot melt adhesives in our portfoglio impress with excellent processing characteristics and a broad spectrum of adhesion to different materials.
Short setting times facilitate a fast downline processing and therefore fast production speeds.
We are ready to supply a wide range of different high-performance adhesives with special properties which provide an ideal process solution for even the most specific and complex requirements.
