Glue
Dots® and Gluefast DUOS:
A dot of glue where you need it!
From home projects
and school crafts to industrial packaging
and promotional bundling, pressure sensitive
adhesive dots of glue known as Glue Dots®
and Gluefast DUOS provide a fast, easy,
and clean method for bonding just about
any two substrates. Gluefast offers both
Glue Dots® and Gluefast DUOS in four
tack strengths — low, medium, high
and super high — for temporary as
well as permanent bonding.
What is a Pressure
Sensitive Adhesive?
Pressure sensitive adhesives are bonding
substances that activate when pressed down
upon. Glue Dots® and Gluefast DUOS,
sometimes referred to as fugitive adhesive
or booger glue, are spots of pressure sensitive
hot melt adhesives extruded onto silicone
release liners. Unlike most hot melt adhesives,
Glue Dots® remain tacky at room temperature.
The adhesive dot bonds weakly with the silicone
and the user easily transfers a dot on one
substrate and applies pressure with another
substrate to make the two stick together.
As a removable dot, pressure sensitive adhesives
are best known to the public as the glue
that adheres credit-card-like items to the
paper carrier in promotional mailings. There
are different tack strengths for different
needs.

What are Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Glue Dots® used for?
Glue Dots® and Gluefast DUOS can be
used in low or medium tack form for arts
and crafts as well as bundling promotional
products. Bundled products are easily pulled
apart and the pressure sensitive adhesive
dot or strip is thrown away. High tack and
super high tack pressure sensitive adhesives
are useful for creating permanent bonds
with woods, papers, textiles, fabrics, and
ceramics, just to name a few.
