The difference between hot melt adhesive and pressure sensitive adhesive

To compare the difference between hot melt adhesive and pressure sensitive adhesive, it is also necessary to add another adhesive – hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive. Hot melt adhesive, hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive and pressure sensitive adhesive should be said to be more common in the market at present several types of adhesives, but also the development of relatively fast types of adhesives. But their names are similar, so it’s easy to confuse them.

Although the name is similar, but they are still quite different in essence.

Hot glue

Hot melt adhesive is a kind of hot adhesive, its product types are many, such as: hot melt adhesive stick, hot melt adhesive block, hot melt pellets, hot melt adhesive powder, hot melt adhesive film, hot melt omentum, hot melt film and so on. At the same time can also be in accordance with the relevant material, melting point temperature and other multi-dimensional division. Essentially, hot melt adhesive refers to a kind of adhesive that changes when the chemical properties are unchanged and the breaking temperature changes. Because of its fixed form at room temperature, it is very convenient for packaging, transportation and storage, and the application industry span is relatively large, such as: Hot melt adhesive can be used in automobile manufacturing field, shoe material processing field, clothing production field, metal material processing field, luggage, home textiles, leather and other fields.

Pressure sensitive adhesive

Pressure sensitive adhesive in the market to polypropylene sealing box, paper, pvc electrical tape and other applications, pressure sensitive adhesive in the field of adhesive is actually an independent branch, it has dry viscosity and viscosity, all sometimes pressure sensitive adhesive is also known as self-adhesive.

Hot melt pressure sensitive glue has a kind of combination of hot melt glue and pressure sensitive glue, of course, this is not very accurate. Hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive has some characteristics of both hot melt adhesive and pressure sensitive adhesive. The advantage of hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive is that its production cost is relatively low, and a little pressure can be used to achieve bonding. The disadvantage is that the bonding strength will change with the change of temperature.

Smprotectivefilm is also committed to the emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive research and development, production, sales of the company. We can effectively solve the problems that customers encounter in the use of glue because of different production equipment and technology.

We specialize in the production of protective film and pressure sensitive adhesive for many years, with our own R & D team. In the future, through continuous research and development and summing up experience, our glue can be applied to more product application fields.
