Hot-Melt Adhesives

Overview

100% solids. Zero drying. Maximum line speed.

Hot-melt adhesives are 100% solids — no water, no solvents — so there's no drying step and no VOC release. They set in seconds as they cool, which makes them the right pick for high-throughput packaging, case sealing, palletizing, bookbinding, and product assembly.

Our hot-melt portfolio spans the workhorse EVA chemistries, modern metallocene polyolefins for tougher substrates and wider service temperatures, and pressure-sensitive hot-melts for repositionable label and tape applications.

Typical Applications

Where hot-melt outperforms.

Case & Carton Sealing

High-speed corrugate and folding carton lines — fast set, clean run, low char.

Palletizing & Tray Forming

Engineered bond strength and open time for automated palletizers and tray erectors.

Bookbinding & Perfect Binding

Flexible spine adhesives with excellent page-pull and lay-flat performance.

Product Assembly

Cleanly applied bonds for filter cartridges, HVAC components, appliances, and electronics enclosures.

Woodworking & Edgebanding

EVA and polyolefin systems for furniture, cabinetry, and laminate edge applications.

Nonwovens & Hygiene

Construction adhesives and elastic attachment systems for disposable nonwoven products.

Pressure-Sensitive Labels

Hot-melt PSAs for label stock, tapes, and removable applications.

Spiral & Convolute Tube

Bonds with fast set and clean run for high-speed tube-winding operations.

Filter Manufacturing

Filter pleat fixing, end-cap potting, and frame assembly — adhesives engineered for the application.
