Hot melt adhesives have superior properties such as versatility, resistance to water and moisture, and low cost, making these adhesives the ideal choice for many applications. The adhesives are used when the glued products can be in contact with water or moisture, including boxes for shipping food. Utilizing traditional glues in such cases can take several minutes for adhesion, and they can cause a worker to hold on to the items to keep the two surfaces together until the glue dries. With hot melt adhesives, the drying time has been cut down to seconds, leaving the person free to continue with the next task. Hot melt adhesives are preferred over solvent adhesives among various end-use industries owing to their advantages such as eco-friendliness, high productivity induced by process automation, and re-adhesion possibility. Hot melt adhesives do not need any drying or curing like solvent-based adhesives. These adhesives can apply in the molten state itself, so that it can be bonded immediately post-application. This further provides hot melt adhesives a significant advantage of faster processing time when applied to food packaging, consumer goods packaging, furniture, crafting, and others. Hot melt adhesives can also be disposed of by taking special precautions, and they have a longer shelf life than typical adhesives. Due to all these benefits, various industries prefer hot melt adhesives over solvent-based adhesives, driving the global hot melt adhesives market growth.
