Hot melt sticks are hardened adhesives typically produced in the stick format that are cylindrical in nature. They are applied using glue guns, in which the heat is used to melt the adhesive into a liquid form before application. When adhesive is applied, it easily forms a solid bond because it solidifies within a few seconds.

These adhesives are made from thermoplastic polymers such as EVA, polyamide or polyolefin, combined with resins, waxes and stabilizers. The formulation determines key properties like viscosity, open time, setting speed and bonding strength.Hot melt sticks can provide rapid bonding creating quick production and handling. They stick to most of the materials such as wood, plastic, metal, paper, fabric and foam. They are simple to operate and need only a glue gun and are also able to be applied without dripping or being messy. They do not emit any toxic volatile substances hence safe and more environment friendly. 

Depending on the formulation, they are also able to endure the varying temperatures without breaking the bond. These characteristics ensure that hot melt sticks are a good and efficient bonding agent in industries and consumers alike.

Hot melt sticks Categories

Hot melt sticks come in various formulations to suit various performance needs. Knowledge of these categories assists the user to choose the most appropriate adhesive to use in his or her applications.

EVA Hot Melt Sticks (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)：The most common type is the EVA hot melt sticks because of their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. They provide a good bonding property to porous surfaces like wood, paper, cloth, etc. EVA bondage is also popular in packaging business, crafting, and overall assembly work. They offer a moderate performance in cost, bonding and flexibility.

Polyamide Hot Melt Sticks：Hot melt sticks made of polyamide are characterized by high performance. They are very effective in resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. These hot melt sticks can be utilized in the dynamic applications like electronics, assembling automobiles, and bonding metals. They are better in their durability and hence can be used in severe environments over a long period of time.

HMPU (Polyurethane-Based) Hot Melt Sticks：HMPU hot melt sticks are adhesives that are made of high-performance polyurethane and are characterized by high bonding power, flexibility and strength. They offer good attachment to a diverse variety of material such as plastics, metals and wood. HMPU adhesives are high-quality adhesives with high heat and moisture resistance, which makes them suitable in the requirements of the demanding industrial use.

We provide a full range of hot melt stick customization services in order to satisfy the needs of the various and dynamic global industries. We aim at offering customized adhesive products that resonate with specific application needs, production conditions and performance requirements, including solutions for large hot glue sticks and different glue gun sticks applications.

 Fast & Flexible Customization Services
We provide quality services in terms of efficient customization services that have a short lead time of 7–15 working days, which means that they can deliver products quickly without sacrificing on quality. We have a flexible production system to accommodate a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 100 kg of custom products and this makes it applicable in both trial orders and large scale production. Customize hot melt sticks to your needs: we can make hot melt sticks to your size, color, performance formulation, including different hot glue stick sizes such as 7/16 hot glue sticks, to facilitate the delivery of positive bonding performance at reasonable cost and in good time.

Color and Appearance Customization
Hot melt sticks are available in a great variety of color, such as transparent, white, yellow, yellow transparent and fully customized color, covering a wide range of hot glue sticks colors. Color customization has not been a futile advantage since it is not only essential to support aesthetics but also functions to identify a product, differentiate a production line, and maintain quality.In the case of consumer-oriented applications like crafts or retail products, also attractive appearance can be created through colored or ornamental sticks so that it becomes more competitive in the market.

Functional Features and OEM Services
In addition to the basic performance, we provide high level of customization by incorporating special functional additives like the use of UV resistance, flame retardant, and hard environment resistance. These characteristics are especially useful, in such industries, as in the automotive, electronic, and construction. We also provide OEM and labeling services such as designing of the packaging and labeling. This enables the distributors to build on their presence in the market as well as maintain the quality of their products with professional manufacturing facilities.
