EVA glue stick

EVA glue stick are thermoplastic adhesives renowned for their versatility, strong bonding properties, and adaptability to various industrial and craft applications. These sticks are composed of a blend of EVA copolymers (typically 60–70%), tackifying resins, waxes, and stabilizers, offering a balance of flexibility, adhesion strength, and thermal stability711. Designed for use with standard ½” or 5/8” EVA glue stick guns, EVA-based hot melt sticks are ideal for woodworking, packaging, product assembly, and DIY projects, delivering reliable performance across temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C

EVA glue stick

Sizes & Compatibility

Sizes: Available in a variety of diameters (1/2″, 5/8″, 1″) and lengths (2″, 8″, 12″) for use with industry standard EVA glue stick guns

Melting Temperature:

High Temperature: 350-410°F (177-210°C) for strong bonds on metals, plastics and wood.

Low Temperature (LT): 250-300°F (121-149°C) for heat-sensitive substrates such as foam, fabric and electronics.

Material Composition

Base Polymer: EVA Copolymer (65-70%) for flexibility and adhesion.

Additives: Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin (25-30%) for tackification, polyolefin wax for viscosity control, antioxidants for UV/oxidation resistance.

Performance Specifications

Viscosity: 1,875-10,500 CPS at 114°C for smooth flow and precise application.

Open Time: 25-50 seconds, adjustable for fast cure or extended application time.

Color Options: Clear, light amber, tan or white to meet aesthetic or functional requirements.

Certifications

FDA compliant indirect food contact options.

Available in biodegradable formula (45% bio-based).

EVA glue stick

Applications

EVA sticks excel in bonding a variety of substrates, including:

Woodworking: Bonds wood, plywood and veneers securely without warping. Ideal for furniture assembly and woodworking.

Packaging: Fast setting formulas (such as 3M Scotch-Weld 3762) for carton sealing and box assembly.

Electronics: Anti-corrosion, self-extinguishing options available for wire potting and circuit board protection.

Textiles and crafts: Low-temperature versions prevent fabric damage while ensuring durable seams.

For special needs, acrylic hot melt glue sticks (such as SuperTAC 99) offer enhanced low-temperature flexibility and metal/glass bonding, but EVA remains an affordable choice for most industrial uses.

Why choose our EVA glue sticks?

In-house raw material production
As a vertically integrated manufacturer, we control every stage of production – from polymer synthesis to additive formulation – eliminating middlemen and reducing costs by 15-20% compared to competitors.

Precision manufacturing

Advanced extrusion technology: Advanced screw extruders ensure consistent diameter (tolerance ±0.1 mm) and minimize shrinkage during cooling.

Dual-stage cooling: Rapid cooling in a water tank allows the EVA glue stick to cure evenly, preventing deformation and ensuring smooth glue gun feeding.

Customizable solutions

Viscosity, open time and color can be adjusted to meet specific project requirements.

Special formulations for extreme temperatures, UV resistance or high-impact environments.

Environmentally friendly production

Biodegradable options reduce environmental footprint.

Low VOC emissions meet global safety standards.

Production Process

Our production process combines automation and quality control to provide premium EVA sticks:

Raw Material Mixing: Precisely weighed EVA, resins and additives are melted in a reactor at 175-225°C (350-400°F) to ensure homogeneity.

Extrusion and Forming: The molten adhesive passes through a Teflon die into a cooling trough and solidifies into a cylindrical stick.

Cutting and Packaging: An automatic paper cutter cuts the hot melt into specified lengths and then seals the package to maintain shelf life (2+ years).
