Hot Melt Glue Sheet
Hot melt glue sheet (hot melt adhesive film) is an advanced adhesive material that can firmly bond multiple materials in a short time after heating and melting, and form a stable and flexible connection layer after cooling. It is widely used in clothing, footwear, luggage, home textiles, electronics and other fields, especially in the manufacture of seamless clothing. It plays an irreplaceable and important role. Since it does not require any chemical solvents, adhesives, and is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, more and more clothing manufacturers use it in the production of various high-end clothing products.
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Hot Melt Adhesives
- EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) Hot Melt Adhesives Glue Sheet
- PES (Polyester) Hot Melt Glue Sheet
- PO (Polyolefin) Hot Melt Glue Sheet
- PA (Polyamide) Hot Melt Glue Sheet
What is hot melt glue sheet?
Hot melt glue sheet is a film material with thermoplastic bonding properties, usually made of different types of polymers. When heated to a certain temperature, the film will quickly melt and penetrate into the surface of the material, enabling it to form a stable physical bond between different materials. After cooling, the hot melt glue sheet re-solidifies to provide a permanent bonding effect. Due to its convenient operation, high efficiency and environmental protection, and strong bonding force, it occupies an important position in the manufacture of seamless clothing, especially for the bonding application of various elastic fabrics.
Available Series of Alster Hot Melt Glue Sheet
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane)
TPU hot melt adhesive sheets have excellent flexibility and elasticity, and are particularly suitable for bonding elastic fabrics such as seamless underwear, sportswear, tights, etc. It can stretch and contract with the fabric while maintaining bonding strength, improving wearing comfort.
EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer)
EVA hot melt adhesive sheets have excellent waterproofness and weather resistance, and are suitable for use in waterproof clothing, raincoats and other environments that require water and moisture resistance. It also has good transparency and is suitable for some occasions that require visual beauty.
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
TPE hot melt adhesive combines the advantages of rubber and plastic, with excellent elasticity and flexibility, and is particularly suitable for applications that require high stretchability and softness, such as the bonding of highly elastic fabrics such as seamless underwear, yoga clothes, and sportswear.
PES (polyester)
PES hot melt adhesive sheets have high strength and wear resistance, and are suitable for scenes with high strength and high durability requirements, such as bonding of clothing seams or fixing of laminated materials. This material has strong durability and is an ideal choice for those who need high adhesion.
PO (Polyolefin)
PO hot melt adhesive sheet is known for its excellent heat resistance and aging resistance. It is particularly suitable for use in scenarios that require high temperatures or long-term use, such as outdoor clothing, industrial protective clothing, etc.
PA (Polyamide)
PO hot melt adhesive sheet is known for its excellent heat resistance and aging resistance. It is particularly suitable for use in scenarios that require high temperatures or long-term use, such as outdoor clothing, industrial protective clothing, etc.
Advantages of Hot Melt Glue Sheets
Environmentally friendly and non-toxic
Hot melt adhesive sheets do not contain solvents or harmful chemicals, and will not release harmful gases during use. They meet environmental protection requirements and are suitable for clothing fields with strict environmental protection requirements.
High bonding strength
Under appropriate temperature and pressure, hot melt adhesive sheets can quickly melt and penetrate the surface of the material to form a strong bonding force, ensuring a long-lasting and durable bonding effect.
Easy operation
Simply heat the film to its melting point through heating equipment (such as a heat press, hot air blower) to easily bond, suitable for operations of various factory sizes.
Strong flexibility
Hot melt adhesive sheets can maintain their flexibility even after bonding, without affecting the comfort of the fabric, and are particularly suitable for seamless bonding of elastic fabrics.
Product specification selection
The specifications of hot melt adhesive sheets can be selected according to different application requirements. Its thickness is generally between 0.02mm and 0.2mm. Thinner films are suitable for light and thin fabrics or delicate bonding needs, while thicker films are suitable for occasions with higher bonding requirements, such as bonding of heavy fabrics.
The width of the film can also be customized according to customer needs, and the general width ranges from 10mm to 1500mm to meet the needs of different production lines. In addition, the melting temperature also needs to be adjusted according to specific process requirements to ensure that the film can achieve the best bonding effect.
How to choose a suitable hot melt adhesive sheet
The selection of a suitable hot melt adhesive sheet needs to be determined according to the application scenario and the material to be bonded. Here are a few key suggestions:
- Material matching: Different materials have different requirements for hot melt adhesive sheets. For example, elastic fabrics can choose TPU films with good flexibility, while EVA films are a better choice for waterproof fabrics.
- Thickness selection: If you need to bond light and thin fabrics, you can choose a thinner hot melt adhesive sheet; for heavy fabrics or high-strength demand scenarios, you should choose a thicker film to ensure the bonding effect.
- Temperature adaptability: Considering the melting temperature of different materials, when selecting hot melt adhesive sheets, you should ensure that their melting point matches the heating equipment used to avoid too high or too low melting temperature affecting the bonding quality.
- Bonding strength requirements: According to the bonding strength requirements of the use scenario, select the appropriate hot melt adhesive sheet material to ensure that good bonding effects can be maintained under different stretching or pressure environments.
Application Scenarios of Hot Melt Gule Sheets
Hot melt adhesive sheets are widely used in the clothing field, mainly including the following application scenarios:
- Seamless underwear and panties: Hot melt adhesive sheets play a key role in the manufacture of seamless underwear. By bonding instead of traditional stitching, underwear is made more close-fitting and seamless, and the wearing comfort is improved.
- Sportswear: Since sportswear usually requires higher elasticity and comfort, hot melt adhesive sheets can provide them with strong bonding effects without affecting the elasticity and expansion of the fabric.
- Waterproof clothing: In the manufacture of waterproof clothing, hot melt adhesive sheets can effectively seal seams, ensure the waterproof performance of clothing, and improve the durability of clothing.
- Embroidery and logo: Hot melt adhesive sheets are also widely used in the bonding of decorations such as embroidery, trademarks, badges, etc., to ensure that these decorations can be firmly attached to the fabric.
