What are web adhesives?

BC Adhesives create web adhesives, hot melt adhesives in a non-woven fabric-like form, using polyamide, polyester, polyolefin, and polyurethane polymers. They produce these adhesives through modified melt-blown processes for standard web adhesives or modified blown film processes. Web adhesives, with their rough surface and fine fibers, bond well to substrates, creating strong and durable bonds which are activated by heat, pressure, or a combination.

Eco-friendly adhesives provide breathability, customization, less waste, easy application, and a strong bond-to-porosity ratio. Being 100% solids, they contribute to less pollution and waste, making them a more sustainable choice. They lack harmful chemicals, need no special equipment, reduce energy use, and minimize potential hazards during application.

They work with wood, leather, foam, fabric, metals, PVC, ABS, aluminum, fiberglass, and treated PP. Choosing the right web adhesive depends on melting temperature, softening point, viscosity, resistance, weight, and fire retardancy. Activation temperatures range from 170°F to 330°F, with fire-retardant formulations available for fire-resistant applications.
