Hot Melt Glue in Blocks, Pillows and Granules

Buyers searching for hot melt glue usually have a melter, a coater or a glue station already installed, and the first question is physical: what form does the adhesive arrive in, and does it feed their equipment? This manufacturer's documented supply forms are film-wrapped solid blocks — listed at 0.45, 0.6, 1 and 5 kg per block on the seven documented label listings, and at 0.45, 0.6 and 1 kg on the polyolefin listings — pillow-style packs of the kind shown in the product photographs, and granules on the EVA line, where the granule format suits bookbinding and paper packaging equipment.

The film wrapping is functional, not decorative: pressure sensitive blocks are tacky and would stick to each other and to packaging in storage, so each block is wrapped so it can be handled, stacked and dropped into a melter cleanly. Blocks suit tank melters and bulk feeders; granules suit equipment designed to meter pellets continuously. Which form a given grade is supplied in follows its product listing, and the quotation confirms the form, the block weight and the carton packing for your order.

Documented Forms and Specifications

Choosing the Form

Match the form to the equipment first and the chemistry second. A production line built around a block melter should stay with blocks even when a granule grade looks attractive on paper, because feed reliability decides real output. Where a line is being specified new, granules offer continuous metering and blocks offer the widest grade choice in this catalogue, including the full pressure sensitive range. State your equipment in the enquiry; the reply will quote grades that exist in the form your line consumes.

Storage follows the form too: film-wrapped blocks stack and keep cleanly, granules need dry sealed storage to flow properly. Neither form changes the underlying specification discipline — viscosity at the stated temperature, softening point and working temperature are quoted per grade from its listing, and a form change never silently changes the grade.

How to Specify This Adhesive

A useful enquiry names five things: the substrate or material being bonded, the application method and equipment, the coat weight in grams per square metre where it is known, the temperature the bond must withstand in service, and the test standard your customer applies. Those five points are the same starting points the manufacturer's own customisation process uses when it opens a new formulation brief, and they let the laboratory match an existing grade before anyone talks about developing a new one.

If you are replacing an adhesive already in production, send its current grade name or a sample description — viscosity behaviour, colour and the failure you are trying to fix (edge lifting, ooze, stringing, cold failure) narrow the choice faster than a catalogue number. Samples are part of the documented route: free samples are listed on many product pages, and the freight arrangement for your sample is confirmed in the reply.

Supply, Packing and Samples

The documented minimum order on product listings is 1,000 kg, consistent with the 1-tonne minimum stated in the manufacturer's published frequently asked questions, and the documented production cycle is 7–15 days. Packing follows the listing for the grade — film-wrapped blocks are the standard form, with carton packing stated per product — and can be confirmed against your handling requirements in the quotation. Nothing on this page promises a grade's availability before the quotation confirms it for your specification.
