Hotmelt adhesives for edgebanding vary significantly based on their chemical composition and application advantages:
- EVA Hotmelt Adhesives:
Made from Ethyl-Vinyl Acetate (EVA), EVA Hotmelt adhesives are popular for their ease of use and cost-effectiveness. They are widely used in general applications but lack high resistance to water and heat. - PUR Hotmelt Adhesives:
Based on polyurethane reactive (PUR) technology, PUR Hotmelt adhesives offer superior water and heat resistance, making them ideal for demanding applications such as fire doors and kitchen cabinets. Despite a higher cost, PUR is increasingly favored for its durability and performance. - PO Hotmelt Adhesives:
Composed of Polyolefin, PO Htmelt adhesives combine ease of application with excellent hydrolysis and heat resistance. They provide better stability in melting equipment compared to EVA adhesives, reducing the risk of clogging or banding in the application unit.
Choosing the right edgebanding adhesive depends on your specific requirements for resistance, durability, and ease of use.
