Hotmelt Adhesives
Thermoplastic hotmelt adhesives deliver instant bonding performance for demanding manufacturing environments. Our DEMCOMELT, DEMCOMELT PUR, and MERRITHERM range includes standard EVA, advanced metallocene, and specialised PUR formulations, each engineered to meet specific application requirements.
These thermoplastic systems provide several distinct advantages:
- Instant bond formation upon cooling
- No volatile emissions for safer working environments
- Excellent temperature stability for demanding applications
- Superior adhesion to films and difficult substrates
High-speed production requires adhesives that keep pace with modern manufacturing demands. Our DEMCOMELT and MERRITHERM hotmelt solutions provide immediate grab strength and reliable bond development, eliminating production bottlenecks.
Available Forms: Pillow, Pastilles, Prills, Sticks, Cartridges
Colours Available: Transparent, White, Yellow, Amber
Hotmelt Adhesive Key Benefits
Hotmelt technology reduces setting times, enabling immediate handling and continuous production flow. This instant-setting characteristic dramatically increases manufacturing throughput while reducing work-in-progress inventory. Energy efficiency benefits emerge from single-stage heating application, avoiding multiple curing processes required by other adhesive systems.
Storage advantages include extended shelf life without degradation and no refrigeration requirements, reducing inventory management complexity. The solvent-free chemistry creates safer working environments while meeting environmental compliance standards. Bond integrity remains consistent across temperature variations, providing reliable performance in demanding service conditions.
Advanced Performance
Our DEMCOMELT, DEMCOMELT PUR, and MERRITHERM systems incorporate sophisticated polymer chemistry to deliver superior performance characteristics. Metallocene technology provides crystal-clear bonds with exceptional heat resistance and superior uptime due to no degradation, ideal for food packaging applications requiring transparent aesthetics and thermal stability.
Reactive PUR formulations offer moisture-curing capabilities, creating cross-linked polymer networks with outstanding structural strength. Clean-running characteristics minimise equipment fouling, while precise rheology control ensures consistent bead formation across varied application speeds.
