Special hot melts

A large part of our PSA hot melt range consists of specially formulated hot melt coatings for the production of self-adhesive materials. Various requirements can play a role in this, such as:

  • Cohesive Strength
  • peel
  • Heat resistance
  • Adhesive strength, ie. tack
  • Attachment

Properties of a PSA hot melt

Rolling ball tack

quantifies the quick-stick ability of a PSA and how quickly it will adhere to another surface

Peel strength

identifies the force it takes to remove a PSA when bonded to a specific material

walk tack

indicates the initial grab, or tack of a PSA when applied to a defined surface

Bio-Based


PSA hot melts can be biobased over 55%

Heat resistance

At what temperature (SAFT) will the bond fail? an important consideration for product used and international shipping.

Viscosity

Influences how the adhesive can be applied and also application temperature

Stability

A goot “pot life” ensures colour, viscosity adn bond characteristics remain stable

cost

Cost is about the price per KG or per square meter. Cost can be about maintenance. Efficient hot melts are often the most efficient hot melts.
