What are web adhesives?

Web adhesives, hot melt adhesives converted into a non-woven fabric-like material, are made from polyamide, polyester, polyolefine, and polyurethane polymers. These adhesives can be produced using modified melt-blown processes for standard web adhesives or modified blown film processes. With a rough surface and fine fibers, web adhesives bond effectively to various substrates, resulting in a strong and durable bond. Web adhesives are activated by heat, pressure, or a combination.

These environmentally friendly adhesives offer numerous advantages over other bonding options, including breathability, customization options, reduced material waste, simplified application, and a good bond-to-porosity ratio. Being 100% solids, web adhesives contribute to less pollution and waste, making them a more sustainable choice. Additionally, they are free from harmful chemicals and do not require special equipment or ventilation during application, which reduces energy consumption and minimizes potential hazards.

Web adhesives are compatible with various substrates, such as wood, leather, urethane foam, fabric, metals, PVC, ABS, aluminum, fiberglass, and treated PP. Selecting the right web adhesive involves considering factors like melting temperatures, softening point, viscosity, solvent, water resistance, basis weight, and fire retardancy must be considered. Activation temperatures typically range from 170°F to 330°F, and fire retardant web adhesives are available for applications requiring fire retardancy as a performance feature.
