Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic bonding materials that are applied in a molten state and develop an initial bond as they cool. Depending on the formulation, some products may also cure through subsequent chemical reactions, such as moisture-curing polyurethane reactive hot melts. The range includes Henkel’s LOCTITE® & TECHNOMELT® hot melt technologies that are suitable for a wide range of applications, and our extensive knowledge as a hot melt adhesive expert ensures that our products are tried, tested, and refined for optimal performance. Manufacturers rely on our expertise to deliver adhesives that not only meet their specific requirements but also enhance production line efficiency. Henkel’s hot melt adhesives may be used in applications such as: Depending on the formulation, individual products may provide properties such as flexibility, long or short open time, low viscosity, moisture curing, heat resistance, cold-temperature flexibility or adhesion to specific substrates. These characteristics are product-specific and should be confirmed in the relevant technical documentation. Hot melt adhesives
