Many products in our life now have hot melt adhesives, which are popular in all walks of life. But there will always be some voices that question and misunderstand it. Today, let's see whether it is really as we usually know?

1. Will it emit harmful and toxic gases in use and endanger health?

In fact, the hot melt adhesive sometimes emits a weak acid gas in use, but this does not prove that it is toxic, because the main components of the hot melt adhesive include EVA resin, thickener and antioxidant. Although it has a little smell, it is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and very safe. Here, we need to remind you that not all types of hot melt adhesives have smell, and there are many tasteless hot melt adhesive options!



2. Is there only one kind of hot melt adhesive?

The most frequently used type of hot melt adhesive by many friends who like to make handicrafts is the hot melt adhesive stick, which leads to such a part of people thinking that only the hot melt adhesive stick is available. In fact, this is not the case. Due to the need of hot melt adhesive to meet the needs of all walks of life, there are also many types of hot melt adhesive, such as hot melt adhesive particles, hot melt adhesive blocks, film packs, etc. It is just because the most used in the manual category is the hot melt adhesive stick, while the demand and sales volume of other types of hot melt adhesive products in the market are large. So no matter which style is very popular.



3. Do you want to take out the hot melt glue immediately after it is used with the glue gun?

Because the hot melt adhesive can be used only after heating, and after the hot melt adhesive gun is plugged in the power supply, it usually needs to preheat for about 3 to 5 minutes to reach the melting point of the ordinary hot melt adhesive. So it is not necessary to take out the glue stick that is not used up.



The above is a summary of the misunderstandings you may have about hot melt adhesives in your daily life. You can have a look at it.
