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
• Waxy coatings or printed corrugate
Understand the application and
packaging process
• High memory corrugate or fast line speeds
requiring fast set speeds
• Packaging of hot fill products requiring
elevated temperature green strength
• Bonding of primary food packaging requiring
FDA direct food contact clearance
• Auto-feed systems requiring tack-free and
optimal adhesive shape for clog free air transfer

Padding Adhesives
Padding Adhesives
What is Padding Adhesive?
Padding Adhesive or Padding Glue is a fast drying hot melt or water-based adhesive designed for flexibility and strength. Padding adhesive is designed to give a permanent hold. Our Padding adhesive is Non-toxic and contains No VOC’s.
Padding presses are used to bind loose pieces of paper together with a water-based padding adhesive, this process forms a pad of paper. Stacks of paper are placed in a large vice and are then clamped into place. While in the padding machine, padding glue is applied to the back edge of the paper stack using of a padding brush. Once the bind is dry, the stack of paper is removed and can be cut down to size. Padding presses are widely used by binderies, and many other companies in the bookbinding and graphics arts industry.
Cattie Adhesives manufactures a complete line of Hot Melt Padding Adhesives and Water based Padding Adhesives for many types of Padding applications including Checkbooks, Paper Stationery and Prescription pads.
We make a full line of hot melts for Brackett Padding machines and have 3 versions of our padding hot melt available for use in sticking Normal, Difficult or Very Difficult substrates.
Our Padding Hot Melts and Water based Padding adhesives are formulated to meet specific application requirements for color, bond strength, heat resistance and other performance standards.
