Compared with thermosetting adhesives,
solvent-based and water-based adhesives, hot-melt glue sticks have many
advantages. What are the functional advantages of hot-melt glue sticks?
1) Fast bonding, curing within a few
seconds, suitable for continuous and automated high-speed operation, and low
cost.
2) It does not contain solvents, is
harmless to the human body, does not pollute the environment, has no risk of
poisoning and fire, and has no disadvantages such as deformation, movement and
shortening of the adherend caused by solvents, and it is convenient to
transport and store.
3) There is no need for a boring process,
and the bonding process is simple.
4) Able to bond a variety of materials. In
addition to bonding porous materials such as wood and paper, some non-porous
materials (such as plastic, glass and metal) and other materials such as wax
paper and carbon paper that are not easy to bond with adhesives can also be
bonded. The appearance treatment is not harsh, and the economic benefits are
good.
5) It can be repeatedly melted and bonded.
For example, when the hot melt glue stick coated on the adherend cannot be
bonded due to cooling and solidification, it can be reheated for bonding
operation, so it is especially suitable for bonding of some special process
requirements. Such as the amendment of some cultural relics.
6) It can be made into block, film, strip
or granular shape, making packaging, storage, transportation and use extremely
convenient.
