Industrial Adhesive Applications 101: Uses & Strengths
(BPT) - When deciding on an industrial adhesive, it’s essential to consider all the aspects of the project at hand: Is it suitable for the materials you intend to join? Will it survive the conditions it is exposed to? Is it compatible with the amount of stress it will experience?There are a number of industrial adhesive types and applications to be aware of, but here at Evans EVCO, we specialize in three main categories: Epoxy adhesives (a subset of the larger structural adhesive family), hot me ...
What is Hot Melt Adhesive and What is it Used For?
Hot melt adhesive is a type of adhesive that is activated by heat. It is commonly used in manufacturing and assembly processes, as it provides a quick and strong bond between two materials. Hot melt type adhesive can be made from various materials, including synthetic rubber, thermoplastic resin, and wax. It is typically supplied in the form of pellets, powders, or preformed strips. When heated, this kind of adhesive melts and flows, before cooling and solidifying to form a strong bond. Hot adhe ...
Getting The Most From Hot Melt Adhesive Products
There are many effective adhesives on the market today. One type of adhesive which has grown increasingly in popularity is commonly known as a hot melt adhesive. This type of thermoplastic adhesive is often available in stick form and comes in various diameters, mostly used in hot glue guns, however, larger industrial applications are available and often applied in a larger, heavier duty format. The actual process involves simply heating plastic glue, then applying the melted substa ...
