Hot Melt Adhesives

Hot Melt adhesives are made from various combinations of resin (ethylene vinyl acetate for example), and wax along with other materials. The adhesive is applied hot and bonds as it cools. The cost per pound is more than with water based adhesives, but the speed of set is often so much faster that the increase production rates warrant its use.

Hot melt adhesives generally are less pervious to water than water based products, but they are also more sensitive to temperature changes. For example, most hot melt adhesives become very brittle when exposed to cold temperatures, and they begin to soften at temperatures above 160°F.

Applications include automatic labeling, case and carton sealing, product assembly, padding, pallet stabilization, and more.

Hot melt adhesives come in sticks for use in glue guns or bulk for automatic applicators.

No other adhesive can bond as easily and be used with the same flexibility as Glue Dots ®. Gluefast, the largest distributor of Glue Dots ® on the East Coast, offers the pressure sensitive adhesives, which are safer and cleaner than hot melt glues, in varying thicknesses and tack strengths to meet just about any need. Use to increase production and lower costs in the Promotional  Packaging and Bundling, Pharmaceutical Packaging, or by Direct Mail companies and businesses. Get that precise detail that can be so difficult to reach without leaving messy residue behind, like with industrial adhesives (some surfaces may stain so testing is recommended), when you use Glue Dots ® for Crafts, Scrapbooking, Greeting Cards, and card making and in Printing and Bindery. Apply by simply touching the object to the Glue Dot ®,or by using the Dot Shot Pro applicator to touch the dot to the object. With choices in tack strength and thickness, your company will easily find the perfect hold with Glue Dots ®, often referred to as booger or fugitive glue. Choices in tack strength are low, medium, high, or super high, and thicknesses, known as profile, are low (1/64th inch thick; the standard), medium (1/16th inch thick), or high (1/8th inch thick).
