What is Fugitive Hot Melt adhesive?

Fugitive hot melt adhesive, also called “Credit Card glue” or “Booger glue”, is a Low-tack adhesive that produces removable, non-permanent bonds.

Fugitive hot melt adhesives form a Temporary Bond between two substrates leaving minimal residue and can be separated without damaging either substrate.

Fugitive hot melt is a unique type of adhesive that is designed to provide temporary bonding for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in the printing and packaging industries for applications such as direct mail pieces, promotional items, and other products that require temporary adhesion.

The main characteristic of fugitive hot melt is that it provides strong adhesion when first applied, but it can be easily removed or repositioned without leaving any residue behind. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require temporary bonding, such as product samples or temporary displays.

Fugitive hot melt is typically applied using a hot melt glue gun or other hot melt application equipment. It can be used on a variety of substrates, including paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal. It is also available in a range of formulations to suit different applications and substrates.

One of the key benefits of fugitive hot melt is that it is fast and easy to apply. It can be applied in a continuous or intermittent pattern, depending on the application requirements. It also has a relatively low operating temperature, which means it can be applied to heat-sensitive substrates without causing damage.

Another advantage of fugitive hot melt adhesive is that it can be used for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in the printing and packaging industries, but it can also be used for other applications such as point-of-purchase displays, product assembly, and temporary signage.

At Cattie Adhesives, we offer a range of fugitive hot melt adhesive products to suit different applications and requirements. Our experienced team can help you select the right adhesive for your specific needs and provide guidance on application methods and equipment.

In summary, fugitive hot melt adhesive is a versatile and effective solution for temporary bonding applications. It provides strong adhesion when first applied, but can be easily removed or repositioned without leaving any residue.
