Description

Hot melt adhesive is composed of a combination of various thermoplastic materials. While in its liquid state, hot melt can bond materials when it hardens after cooling down. There are different mechanisms involved in the setting process of hot melt, including the formation of physically cross-linked crystallization, micro-separation, and hydrogen bonding. This training focuses on explaining how hot melt sets through crystallization and sheds light on the role of different ingredients such as polymers, waxes, and tackifiers. The polymers discussed range from EVA, ethylene-acrylics, APO’s, metallocenes, which are new polymers with unique properties due to the metallocene technique. This approach aims to understand how existing and future metallocene polymers, copolymers, and block-copolymers work. Additionally, attention is given to new copolymers from EBA-manufacturers. The wax also plays a vital role in the setting process by determining the open time, reducing viscosity, and influencing the crystallization behavior of the hot melt. This training will clarify how a polyolefinic wax reacts differently in comparison to a similar backbone-structured polymer and what happens in a mixture. It will also explore the impact of amorphous tackifiers on hot melt crystallization behavior.
