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


We also have the capability to Coat our EVA Hot Melt Adhesives onto many different substrates including felts, films, liners, magnet, papers, plastics, and textiles; for various medical and industrial applications.
