EVA hotmelt is one of the most widely used types, due to its good availability and extensive formulation options, thousands of different types are available, from fast setting to long open time. EVA hot melt adhesives can be processed quickly, can be used over a wide temperature range and have a long shelf life.

Formulation and composition of EVA hot melt

Ethylene promotes adhesion to non-polar substrates such as polyethylene and provides mechanical strength, a non-tacky adhesive film and good solubility of other components. Vinyl acetate, on the other hand, promotes adhesion to polar substrates such as paper and provides flexibility, adhesion and better performance at low temperatures.
