Today, we will share an introduction to the material, properties, melting point, and applications of EVA hot melt adhesive film. Let's start by understanding what EVA hot melt adhesive film is.
What is EVA Hot Melt Adhesive Film?
The main component of EVA hot melt adhesive film is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a high-molecular-weight elastomeric material. Hot melt adhesive films made from this material exhibit excellent stretch and resilience, making them widely used, especially in materials requiring elasticity. They appear in a white, frosted color.
Melting Range and Key Characteristics
EVA hot melt adhesive film has a low melting point, ranging between 65-75℃, with a usage temperature of 90-110℃. Among various hot melt adhesive types, this melting point is considered quite low, making it suitable for bonding materials that are not heat-resistant. However, it's important to note that its resistance to water washing is relatively poor, making it less suitable for applications where resistance to delamination after machine washing is required.
Application Areas and Compatible Materials
EVA hot melt adhesive film is suitable for bonding materials such as polypropylene (PP), EVA foam, XPE foam, EVA film, sponge, PET film, and rubber. It is commonly used in seamless wall coverings, masks, foam products, covering a wide range of everyday and industrial applications.
Brief Guide on How to Use EVA Hot Melt Adhesive Film
Using EVA hot melt adhesive film is straightforward. Simply place it between the two materials you want to bond and use a heat press on the thinner side. This process ensures a strong bond between the two materials. For specific usage instructions, refer to the article "Usage Guide for Hot Melt Adhesive Film."
It's important to handle both EVA and TPU hot melt adhesive films with care during unrolling, as they are soft materials. Excessive tension during unrolling may lead to tearing, affecting continuous production operations.
