Is hot melt glue flexible?
Hot-melt adhesives require a delicate balance of formulation components but the main elements of a typical packaging hot melt are polymers (delivers strength and flexibility), resins (provides wetting and adhesion properties) and waxes (controls viscosity and open time/setting speed).
Is hot glue bendable?
Although hot melt adhesives have been around for decades, advancements in PUR development have made it popular for applications like bookbinding, woodworking, and packaging starting in the 1950s. Since it is highly flexible and has a broad thermal setting range, PUR is perfect for bonding difficult substrates.
What are the disadvantages of hot glue?
The main disadvantages of hot melts are limited strength and heat resistance. Unlike other adhesives, the set-up process is reversible and, at about 77°C most hot melts begin to lose strength.
Is hot glue weak?
One of the biggest advantages of hot melt glue is that it is typically stronger than water-based adhesives, making it a reliable bond for manufacturing. It's also incredibly versatile since its base (polymer) can be customized by mixing in other materials so that you can get your most solid bond.
