Are you looking for a reliable type of adhesive? Hot melt adhesive (also called hot melt adhesive) is widely used in industry. It is a type of adhesive that must first be heated - it then melts completely and becomes a liquid adhesive. After application, it adheres immediately to the material you apply it to. It cures as it cools and is then very firmly attached!
What exactly is hot melt adhesive?
Hot melt adhesive is a type of glue that is melted and applied in a liquid state using, for example, a glue gun. It consists of thermoplastic materials that soften and melt when heated and then harden and adhere when cooled. Hotmelt adhesive is often used in crafts, woodworking, packaging and other applications where a fast, strong bond is needed. Hot melt adhesive has a relatively low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily into small cracks and crevices, and it can bond a wide range of materials, including plastics, wood, fabric and metals.
The benefits of hot melt adhesive: lightning fast and rock solid
Hot melt adhesive brings many advantages. First of all, it has a tremendously fast drying time, so your adhesive is cured faster than traditional cold glue. In addition, hot melt adhesive remains flexible after it is cured. This along with its high strength means that hot melt provides good adhesion for a very long time and can be used for many purposes. Finally, hot melt adhesive is insensitive to temperature differences and to moisture. At Antalis you will find various types of hot melt that you can easily order via the web shop.
What can I use hot melt adhesive for?
Hot melt adhesives have many applications, both for industrial and personal purposes. Below we list some of these applications:
Packaging: you can easily bond cardboard boxes and other packaging materials with hot melt adhesive. The bond you apply with it is strong and reliable. It can be applied in both manual and machine ways.
Woodworking: because of its fast drying time and enormously strong adhesion, hot melt adhesive can also be used to glue wooden parts together. This is very useful for woodworking projects such as furniture, window frames and even stair parts!
Textile processing: we also recommend hot melt adhesive for bonding textiles. Attaching fabrics to all kinds of substrates is no problem with this. Your textile will not lose flexibility because of the hot melt.
Electronic projects: attach electronic components and circuit boards easily with a little hot melt adhesive. When doing so, be careful not to apply too much adhesive.
Automotive industry: while making cars, hot melt adhesive is a common type of adhesive. Because the adhesive is unaffected by temperature changes or moisture, it is an excellent tool for bonding parts together. Hot melt is also very suitable for car interiors.
