Hot Melts

Hot melt adhesives (HMAs) are thermoplastic adhesives that are applied in the molten state and solidify upon cooling. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, including packaging, woodworking, and construction. HMAs are typically composed of a polymer, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyolefin, and a tackifier, which improves the adhesive’s ability to wet and adhere to substrates.
