tested substrates / surfaces

EVA

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (EVA) the most applied hotmelt / copolymer at present

Characterization:

  • short to middle open and setting time
  • low heat resistance
  • good heat and aging resistance
  • good cold flexibility

main applications:
wood and packaging industry, floristry, carpets / room textiles, product assembly, plenty of other applications

POL

Amorphous Polyolefin (APAO, complex Copolymers

Characterization:

  • middle to extra long open and setting time
  • low to high heat resistance
  • middle to very high softening point
  • good to very good cold flexibility
  • compared to EVA, higher chemical resistance

main applications:
concrete industry, insulation industry, mattresses, trays/displays, textiles, carpets

PSA

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive / thermoplastic rubber

Characterization:

  • very long to almost unlimited open and setting time
  • low to middle heat resistance
  • middle to very high softening point
  • very good cold flexibility

main applications:
packaging, insulation, mattresses, foamed plastics, textiles, sanitary products, bonding of wide surfaces

PAM

Polyamide

Characterization:

  • highest chemical resistance compared to EVA, POL and PSA
  • highest application width in regard to cold and heat
  • very short to middle open and setting time
  • very high heat resistance
  • very high cold flexibility
  • high to very high softening point
  • adhesion absorbs wather, needs to be stocked sealed

main applications::
automotive industry, protector / spacer for roofing tiles, grouting of electronical components, production of conductor boards, filling of knotholes
