Hot-melt adhesive: fast, clean bonding for industry

What is hot-melt adhesive?

→ Get a sample tailored to your production line 

La hot-melt adhesivealso known as hot-melt adhesiveis an adhesive that is solid at room temperature, becomes liquid when heated and then reverts to solid when cooled. This principle allows instant, clean, solvent-free bondingideal for high-speed production lines. 

It is widely used in the packaging, textile, furniture and automotive industries. Available in granules, sticks, cartridges or blocks, it is suitable for both manual applications and automated systems. 

Technical characteristics of extra-strong hot-melt adhesive

→ Ask for the technical data sheet for your substrate and production rate 

La industrial hot-melt adhesive offers great versatility and rapid application. Its technical properties make it an ideal choice for demanding industrial users. 

  • Fast setting time (a few seconds to a few minutes) 
  • Easy application by spray gun or automatic nozzle 
  • Compatible with a wide range of materials: wood, cardboard, textiles, plastic, etc. 
  • Solvent-free, odourless and VOC emission-free 
  • Available in high or low temperature versions depending on requirements 

It is particularly well suited to automated production lines thanks to its controlled cooling time. 

→ Benefit from instant, economical bonding 

La hotmelt glue is the solution of choice for industrial environments requiring speed, cleanliness and precision. 

  • Immediate application: no drying time 
  • Excellent productivity on continuous or robotised lines 
  • No solvents = increased safety and regulatory compliance 
  • Low cost of use per bonding point 
  • Compatible with sensitive substrates thanks to low-temperature versions 

It's a high-performance, long-lasting alternative to solvent-based glues or adhesive tapes. 

La hot-melt wood glue is perfect for assembling light or decorative elements. It is used in the manufacture of furniture, wooden structures and fittings. 

La hot-melt textile adhesive adapts to synthetic or natural fabrics, ideal for attaching hems, labels or technical foams. 

As for the hot-melt cardboard glueIt is indispensable in packaging: closing cases, gluing flaps, attaching handles, etc. 

These variants are formulated to maximise adhesion, bond cleanliness and compatibility with your equipment. 

→ Choose the right format and technology 

La hot-melt adhesive is available in a range of technologies and formats to suit your requirements: 

  • Hot melt glue stick Used with hand guns for maintenance, prototyping or small production runs 
  • Polyolefin hot-melt adhesive very good adhesion on difficult plastics such as PE or PP 
  • Low-temperature hot-melt adhesive suitable for sensitive materials (foams, films, delicate textiles), reducing the risk of burns or deformation 
  • Tailor-made formulations Viscosity, open time, melting temperature, colour 

Our experts will guide you to the right reference for your substrates, working temperatures and speed. 

The hot-melt adhesives are used in a wide variety of sectors where speed and cleanliness of bonding are priorities.

FAQ - Hot melt adhesive

It is heated to become a liquid, applied to the substrate, then hardens rapidly as it cools to fix the parts.

Glue hotmelt contains no solvents and hardens by cooling, whereas conventional adhesives dry by evaporation.

Wood, textile, cardboard, plastic, foam, light metal... depending on the formulation, virtually all industrial substrates.

Yes, it is used for sensitive materials such as thin fabrics, plastic films or foams.

Generally between 120°C and 180°C. Low-temperature versions are available from 90°C.

Yes, for small production runs, maintenance or prototyping, sticks are practical and economical.
