Hot Melt Adhesive Industries
Indasol supplies a large range of shaped hot melt adhesives that are designed to be used with our range of glue guns, providing a high-performance, cost-effective application system. Our adhesives are used in almost all industries, including packaging, woodworking, construction, product assembly, electrical, automotive and flooring.
Selecting the correct adhesive for an application depends on a range of factors, including substrates, application requirements and cost. This guide is designed to aid the selection process by grouping the adhesives into their different application categories, and then listing the relevant data such as open time, viscosity and heat resistance so the adhesives can be compared and short listed for testing, based on the application. Our tech services are always available to discuss any application requirements in more detail.
Packaging
INDASOL hot melt packaging adhesives are suitable for most paper and board-based packaging materials. Formulations are available for coated, varnished and deep freeze applications. Cartons and cases closed with hot melt provide tamper-proof sealing and improve the rigidity of the packaging.
Product Assembly
INDASOL hot melt adhesives can be used for many product assembly applications, and are used extensively in automotive, electronics and furniture production. These adhesives are available with different viscosities to suit the application. Some adhesives have high and low temperature resistance, which is useful in automotive applications, whereas others have chemical resistance which helps in filter applications.
Woodworking
We have developed a range of hot melt adhesives and applicators suitable for working with various types of wood. Our woodworking adhesives have been rigorously tried and tested by tradesmen across the globe and are designed to replace the use of nails, pins, staples and other forms of wood fixings in all areas of woodworking and construction.
Construction
Designed for professional use and trade applications, our range of construction-grade adhesives makes production and installation jobs cleaner and more efficient. Ranging from the instant set, ultra-strong adhesives, to long working time adhesives with greater flexibility, the range of construction adhesives provide tradesmen with the ability to work faster and smarter.
Flooring Adhesives
Our flooring adhesives are formulated to provide a fast and simple alternative to nails and tacks used for applying flooring. Cost-effective and easy to use, tackfix adhesives are less expensive than epoxies, which set to a hard finish, but don’t allow for thermal expansion of the flooring. Tackfix flooring adhesives are suitable for carpet gripper, laminate flooring starter strips, thresholds, quadrants, and carpet repairs.
