What are the advantages of using hot melt adhesive for label gluing?


Company Profile
Suzhou Oushida Hot Melt Adhesive Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, production, sales, and technical consulting of intelligent hot melt adhesive spraying equipment.

In label production, whether choosing oil-based, water-based, or hot melt, sufficient initial adhesion is required. Only adhesives with strong performance in this regard can easily adhere to various surfaces of the bonded objects. So what are the advantages of using hot melt adhesivein this regard?
01 Environmental Protection

Currently, the hot melt adhesives used in labels, which are common in our daily lives, have a solids content of up to 100%, producing no solid waste during use, which is highly consistent with modern environmental protection requirements. With the development of this type of hot melt adhesive, many countries have switched from using oil-based adhesives to water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives for label production.
02 Strong adhesion

Water-based adhesives have advantages in label production, including a wide temperature range and smoothness. However, their initial tack and peel strength are not very high, and they lack sufficient adhesion to non-polar surfaces. Hot melt adhesives, on the other hand, have very strong initial tack and peel strength, meeting the bonding requirements of many different materials.


03 Low cost

In fact, water-based adhesives generally have a solids content of around 50%. When the coating area is uniform, the amount of hot-melt adhesive used can be significantly reduced. Hot-melt adhesives also contain no water or other solvents, so they don’t require drying during production; they simply cool and solidify naturally, saving significant time, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.
Compared to water-based and oil-based adhesives, hot-melt adhesives offer advantages such as stronger adhesion, environmental friendliness, non-toxicity, the lack of drying equipment, reduced footprint, faster production speeds, and lower costs. Consequently, hot-melt adhesives are rapidly gaining popularity in the label industry.
