How to choose EVA hot melt adhesive particles and PO hot melt adhesive particles? A comparison table to explain clearly

2026-08-17    Views: 6    Chinese

First, let’s draw the conclusion: it depends on the substrate and temperature resistance

Book binding, ordinary paper box sealing, selection Hot melt adhesive granules The EVA products inside are basically sufficient; When encountering difficult to stick plastics such as PP and PE, or packaging that requires low temperature/aging resistance, consider PO (polyolefin) type. The two are not better, but have different applicability.

A table to see the differences clearly

DimensionEVA hot melt adhesive granulesPO hot melt adhesive granules
Common substratesPaper, cardboard, fabric, and some PVCPP、PE、 Non woven fabric, difficult to stick plastic
Initial adhesion speedQuick, suitable for high-speed linesSlightly slower, it needs to be pressed and shaped
heat resistanceGenerally (softened at around 60 ℃)Better, not brittle at low temperatures
Odor/Environmental ProtectionDepending on the brandLow odor and low VOC make it easier to produce
Pricemore economicalrelatively high

How to choose based on actual testing

Take the sample you actually want to stick as a sample: pull it open at room temperature to see the damaged surface. If the substrate is torn, it indicates that the strength is sufficient; If the adhesive layer falls off completely, it indicates that the wrong type or temperature has been selected. Sunlife hot melt adhesive has EVA and PO solutions for both book and packaging production lines. Guangzhou Sunlife Trading can send samples and test adhesives according to your substrate to avoid blind ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can PO completely replace EVA?
Cost wise, EVA is more economical for ordinary paper.

Q2: How to quickly distinguish which type is in your hand?
Check the “matrix resin” item in the test report, or send it to a third party for FTIR infrared identification.

Q3: Is there a problem with mixing two types of glue?
It is not recommended to mix and melt, as poor compatibility can lead to delamination and decreased strength.
