What is EVA Hot Melt Adhesive?

EVA hot melt adhesive  (Ethylene – Vinyl Acetate)  is 100% Solid, thermoplastic adhesive that is tack free and flexible at room temperature.  When heated to 250 -350F, the EVA hot melt turns into a liquid and is applied to the material to be bonded. Hot melt EVA is an economical, fast bonding option for a variety of Packaging and Product Assembly applications.

EVA hot melt adhesive can be formulated to be very Fast Setting or made to have Long Open Time and can be designed for use in High Heat and Freezer Grade applications.

EVA hot melts are a great choice for most Case, Tray & Carton Sealing and Packaging applications when Fast Set Time, Clean Machining and good adhesion to various substrates is needed.


Our line of hot melt EVA adhesives cover a wide range temperatures from approximately -40 to 160°F.

• Frozen foods exposed to very cold or blast
freezer temperatures
• End-of-line packaging in typical ambient conditions
• Exposure to high temperatures in rail shipping
• Unpredictable environmental conditions
Understand the substrate
• Sensitive substrates requiring low
application temperature
• Smooth and difficult to bond to high recycle
content corrugate


• Standard corrugate with minimal
performance needs

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

  • Diapers

  • Hot Melt Wire & Cable Coating

  • Bag Assembly

  • Feminine Hygiene

  • Athletic Shoes
