Thanks to these peculiarities, their use is extensive, also including the most demanding applications.
What are EVA hot melt adhesives?
EVA hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic-based adhesives that are solid at room temperature but, once heated, change their state, becoming fluid and elastic. They are non-toxic products, solvent-free, and not subject to chemical-physical deterioration.
This process allows the adhesive to adhere perfectly to surfaces, ensuring long-lasting bonding and adhesion. The benefits of such adhesives are numerous:
– Practicality and ease of use.
– Quick and lasting activation.
– High adhesive properties.
– Adhesion and applicability even on non-porous surfaces.
– Ability to withstand external agents.
– Possibility of reuse in some cases.
– Applications without solvents, thus complete non-toxicity.
Applications of EVA hot melt adhesives
Thanks to their technical characteristics, ease of use, and variety of proposed formulations, EVA-based hot melt adhesives find applications in many sectors: from packaging to construction, from the assembly of plastic materials to textiles, from packaging to DIY, from automotive to furniture production.
Here are some application examples:
– Construction: bonding of panels, mounting of insulations and coatings, bonding and laying of decorative elements, repair of wooden and ceramic components, installation of skirting boards and baseboards, installation of polystyrene parts.
– Packaging: bonding required in packaging processes, closing and making of cartons and plastic-coated supports, production of displays, stands, and totems.
– Textile: application in the mattress industry and for bonding overlapped textile fibers, hot melt coating on fabrics for the automotive industry and footwear and luggage interiors.
– Automotive: bonding of internal plastic parts, body repair, bonding of car interiors.
– Assembly of plastic materials with the possibility of bonding any type of plastic (PVC, PPL, PE, PES, ABS).
– Wood: bonding in the furniture sector for the production of furniture and laminates.
– Hobbies and DIY: EVA-based adhesives are suitable for any type of use for making gift items, decorative elements, decoupage objects, jewelry items, toys.
