Hot Melt Adhesives

Chemistry Overview

ForzaBuilt hot melt adhesives deliver fast setting, solvent-free bonding with strong green strength for high-speed packaging and assembly.

Hot melt adhesives are 100% solid thermoplastic systems applied in molten form that bond as they cool and solidify. They provide near-instant green strength and are ideal for high-throughput automated operations.

Production Challenges We Help Solve

  • High-speed assembly that cannot wait for solvent flash-off or chemical cure.
  • Solvent-free, low-VOC bonding requirements in regulated environments.
  • Packaging and case forming that require immediate bond integrity.
  • Product assembly and lamination with variable open-time requirements.

Typical Use Cases

Packaging and case sealing
Bookbinding and graphic arts
Furniture and woodworking
Nonwoven lamination
Automotive interior trim assembly
Hygiene product manufacturing
