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

Dextrin Adhesive: A Versatile and Sustainable Adhesive Solution
Dextrin adhesive is a type of adhesive that is made from dextrin, a carbohydrate obtained from starch. It is a water-soluble adhesive that has been used for decades due to its versatility and eco-friendliness. Dextrin adhesive can be used in a variety of applications, including bookbinding, envelope sealing, and labeling. It is also commonly used in the packaging industry for sealing boxes, bags, and cartons.
At Cattie Adhesives, we offer a wide range of dextrin adhesives that cater to various industries and applications. Our dextrin adhesives come in various forms, including powders, flakes, and liquids, to suit your specific needs.
