Compared to conventional EVA hot melts, Polyolefin-based (PO) hotmelts offer a wider performance spectrum, for example higher heat resistance and an improved adhesion spectrum in the case of low-energy surfaces, such as PP.
Depending on the recipe, it is possible to vary between a very short and a much longer open time. The same applies to the formulation for the sprayability of the hot-melt adhesives.
These base polymers of the polyolefin hotmelts have a decisive impact on the properties, depending on the catalysis technology chosen.
