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.

Metallocene hot melt is a type of adhesive that offers several advantages over traditional hot melt adhesives. This type of adhesive is composed of a metallocene polymer, which is a type of polyolefin that has been modified using a metallocene catalyst. This modification results in an adhesive with a more uniform molecular structure, which provides improved properties such as better thermal stability, lower odor, and a wider operating temperature range.
One of the primary advantages of metallocene hot melt is its superior bonding strength. The adhesive forms a strong, durable bond that is resistant to a wide range of environmental factors such as temperature changes, moisture, and chemicals. Additionally, metallocene hot melt adhesive has a lower application temperature than traditional hot melt adhesives, which can reduce the risk of heat damage to substrates.
Another advantage of metallocene hot melt adhesive is its versatility. It can be used to bond a wide range of substrates, including plastics, metals, and textiles. This adhesive is also suitable for use in a variety of industries, including packaging, woodworking, and automotive manufacturing.
In terms of application, metallocene hot melt adhesive can be easily applied using a variety of methods such as spraying, roll coating, or extrusion. It also has a longer open time than traditional hot melt adhesives, which provides more time for adjustment and positioning of substrates before the adhesive sets.
Overall, metallocene hot melt adhesive is a reliable and versatile adhesive option that offers several advantages over traditional hot melt adhesives. Its superior bonding strength, lower application temperature, and versatility make it a popular choice for a wide range of industries and applications.
