What are APAO Hot Melt Adhesives?

APAO hot melt adhesives (Amorphous Poly-Alpha-Olefins), also called Polyolefin Hot Melt adhesives are designed to be a Lower cost adhesive option for most Product Assembly applications.  Polyolefin hot melts are often used as a lower cost replacement for Polyamide Hot Melt applications.


APAO or Polyolefin hot melts are commonly used to bond – Open and Closed Cell Foams to Foams, Metals, Papers, Plastics and Woods.  Polyolefin based hot melts are often used when High Heat Resistance is required or good acid, chemical and fuel resistance is needed.

APAO hot melts are non-crystalline adhesives and are soft, tacky, and flexible; this makes them a great choice for most Product Assembly applications when Long Open Times, High Heat Resistance and Strong Bonds to various substrates is needed.


We also have the capability to  Coat our APAO Hot Melt  onto many different substrates including –  felts, films, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles; for various Medical and Industrial applications.


Our APAO / Polyolefin hot melt adhesives are commonly used in the following Applications:

  • Appliances

  • Automotive Assembly- Metals, Foams, Plastics, Filters

  • Artificial Grass / Synthetic Turf Installation

  • Foam  &  Mattress Fabricating

  • Cabinet Assembly

  • CD/DVD/Digipak Carton Sleeves

  • Edgebanding

  • Filter Assembly– Air Filters, Oil Filters, Water Filters

  • Filter End Cap Gluing

  • General Product Assembly

Metallocene Hot Melt Adhesive

What is Metallocene Hot Melt Adhesive?

Metallocene hot melt adhesive is a new-generation of Packaging hot melt designed for Case and Carton Sealing.  Metallocene based hot melt adhesives have excellent pot life stability, clear color, offer high heat resistance and are not prone to charring or odor.

Metallocene Hot melts have demonstrated significant advantages over traditional EVA-based hot melts.  These new-generation hot melts provide end users with real improvements in performance and packaging appearance and provide real ROI by lowering adhesive usage and reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.


Cattie Adhesives manufactures a full line of Metallocene based Hot Melts.

Our Hot Melts can be formulated for High Heat Resistance or Freezer Grade applications to – 60°F; making them a great choice for most Blast Freeze, Flash Freezing and Quick Freeze Packaging and Tray, Case & Carton Sealing applications.


Our Metallocene based hot melts are commonly used in the following Applications:

  • Agriculture Cases
  • Case and Carton Sealing
  • Difficult to Bond-PET,PE,BOPP,UV
  • Folder Gluer Hot Melt
  • Freezer Grade Packaging
  • Meat & Poultry Cases
  • Packaging
  • Sift Proof Cartons
  • Tray Forming
