Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt is defined as any polymer based glue that is applied in a molten state. HMA is composed of a polymer and additives, including a tackifying resin to create bond properties. Examples of use of these adhesives range from book-binding, packaging, tapes and labels to HVAC duct-work, auto interior trim, and furniture assembly.
Our Hot Melt Adhesive (HMA) pelletizing systems are engineered to provide you the most cost-effective way to process and handle a wide variety of adhesive materials. Pellets instead of blocks, pastilles or pillows streamline downstream production processes and ensure easy handling and transporting of otherwise challenging to manage materials.
With over 30 years of experience in pelletizing hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives, our dedicated HMA team is offering practical experience our customers can rely on. With our industry knowledge and lab capabilities, we can provide unique and valuable solutions for any material type. A lab line is available to demonstrate the advantages of pelletizing and to assist our customers in getting their products to market easier and faster.
Expertise from over 300 underwater pelletizing installations globally, processing various forms of hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives, gives our team the knowledge required to custom design an underwater pelletizing system for specific applications whether it’s a simple extruded HMA or a custom engineered system for PSA.
