Choose EVA for paper-based adhesives such as book binding, cardboard box sealing, and quick printing of graphics and text Hot melt adhesive granulesThat’s enough; Only when it is necessary to withstand high temperatures above 80 ℃ for a long time or to bond nylon/metal/engineering plastics, should PA polyamide hot melt adhesive particles be applied. PA has stronger performance, but its price is often two or three times that of EVA. Using it in the wrong direction is pure waste.
EVA hot melt adhesive particles are based on ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, combined with thickening resin and wax, and are the most commonly used category in printing and packaging. They are easy to machine, low-cost, and cool quickly. PA hot melt adhesive particles (polyamide, commonly known as nylon hot melt adhesive) are formed by the condensation of dimer acids and polyamines. The molecular chains contain amide bonds, and have significantly better temperature resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance. They are commonly used in electronics, automobiles, shoe materials, and special composites.
| indicator | EVA hot melt adhesive granules | PA hot melt adhesive granules |
|---|---|---|
| Long term use temperature | About 60-70 ℃ | About 120-150 ℃ |
| oil resistance | General | good |
| Initial adhesion speed | Fast (in seconds) | Slightly slower |
| melting temperature | 160–180℃ | 180–210℃ |
| Reference cost | low | High (about 2-3 times) |
PA has a higher melting point, and the equipment should be able to reach temperatures above 200 ℃; The rubber hose of the old sealing machine has insufficient temperature resistance and will accelerate aging on the hard surface. At the same time, PA and EVA cannot be mixed in the pot. When changing the type, the glue must be thoroughly cleaned, otherwise carbonization will block the gun.
Q: Can we use PA directly for book binding to make it more sturdy?
Answer: It’s not necessary. Books and periodicals will not be exposed to high temperature environments, and the temperature resistance advantage of PA will not be utilized. Instead, it will increase costs and equipment burden, while EVA is more suitable.
Q: Is PA adhesive more environmentally friendly?
Answer: Both are solvent-free solid content adhesives with similar environmental friendliness; Whether it is compliant depends on the RoHS/REACH testing of the specific brand, regardless of the EVA/PA category.
Q: What should I do if I want to balance durability and cost?
Answer: High temperature resistant modified EVA can be preferred. Guangzhou Sunlife TradingSunlife Hot Melt AdhesiveProvide EVA series for books, packaging, and fast printing, as well as a small number of high temperature resistant modified models. EVA can stabilize most paper-based scenarios, and PA will be evaluated for special high temperature requirements.
Summary: EVA is the default for paper-based bonding, and PA is only applied to high-temperature/special materials. Choose based on the operating temperature and environment first, and do not pay for performance that cannot be used.
S-395 is Sunlife’s high-end low-temperature resistant hot melt adhesive for graphic and text stores, benchmarked against Henkel 3218. This article explains the differences, applicable scenarios, and selection methods between it and S-393.
Conclusion first: Exported books and periodicals need to be transported across the ocean, through high-temperature containers and temperature differences between high and low temperatures. Ordinary rubber particles are prone to sticking or becoming brittle during transportation, while weather resistant hot melt rubber particles have a higher softening point and a more balanced resistance to high […]
For a long time, assembly lines have been the most effective way to mass-produce almost all products. Of course, product assembly has been constantly improving. In recent decades, hot melt adhesives have become an indispensable part of the assembly process. Here are several ways in which hot melt adhesive is crucial to the success of […]
After the wireless adhesive packaging of books and periodicals is taken offline, sometimes the book back feels “empty” and not full. When viewed in front of the light, there are local missing glue and dents in the adhesive layer, and in severe cases, the inner pages will scatter with just one flip. This phenomenon of […]
