Hot melt, water-based, PSA, PUR, and more
Hot melt, water-based, pressure sensitive, PUR, heat seal, and barrier coatings — plus Heat seal and barrier coatings. Open a line for product numbers and a sample. For plant education and video training, see Training & Videos in the How-To Library. If a catalog grade will not hold, we custom formulate.
Need cohesive / cold seal? It is part of our water-based line — see cohesive adhesives. Call 800-249-0337 for SDS, TDS, or a sample.
Pick the chemistry that matches the line
Industrial adhesives are not one glue. Start with how you apply and how the bond must behave after it sets:
- Hot melt — melt tank or stick gun; fast set for case/carton, woodworking, filters, assembly. See hot melt adhesives (EVA, metallocene, APAO). For case and carton lines, see metallocene hot melt for case and carton sealing.
- Water-based — no melt tank; PVA/acrylic/cohesive for packaging, converting, labeling. See water based adhesives.
- Pressure sensitive (PSA) — bonds with pressure only; labels, tapes, films. See pressure sensitive adhesives.
- PUR hot melt — applied molten, then moisture-cures to a structural thermoset (panels, wood, RV). See PUR hot melt. For small binders, see PUR in 100 g foil packs. Choosing a bookbinding glue? See PUR vs EVA for bookbinding.
- Liquid PUR — room-temp moisture-cure liquid; clamp while it starts. See liquid PUR polyurethane.
- Heat seal and barrier coatings — barrier coatings are 100% water-based, low VOC; heat seal comes water-based, solvent, hot melt, films, and tapes for lidding, blister, and flexible packaging. See heat seal and barrier coatings.
What to send for a sample match
Substrate (both sides), coat weight or bead size, line speed, open time needed, service temperature, and whether the bond must be permanent, removable, or freezer/high-heat. Call 800-249-0337 or request a sample. Cattie Adhesives, Quakertown, PA.
Heat seal, barrier coatings, tapes/films, and custom formulate are linked in the cards below when the job is specialty rather than a stock packaging grade.
Hot Melt Adhesives
Pellets, chips, pillows, sticks. Fast set, freezer or high-heat grades.
Hot melt
Water Based Adhesives
Pails, drums, totes. No melt tank. Cohesive / cold seal is in this family.
Water based
Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Pressure only. Permanent or removable.
