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.
Cattie Adhesives manufactures a full line of high performance Fugitive / Removable Hot Melt Adhesives; available in several degrees of Color, Peel Strength, Tack, Shear Strength and Viscosity.
Our Fugitive Hot Melt adhesive can be formulated as Non-Staining and “Water White” Color; making them a great choice for Credit Card Affixing and Direct Mail applications.
Our Fugitive adhesives are widely used on Direct Mail and Marketing materials, where a substrate material – product insert, sample or a return envelope – is glued to another, usually a paper or film – mailing envelope or a magazine.
Fugitive hot melt is not designed to be reseal-able; for this we also make a “Repositionable” Hot Melt.
We also have the capability to Coat our Fugitive Hot Melt Adhesives onto many different substrates including felts, films, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles; for various medical and industrial applications.

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.
