Hot melt adhesive granulesCan PET film be adhered?

Yes, but it depends on the particle type and usage method. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film has low surface energy and weak polarity, and ordinary EVA hot melt adhesive particles are prone to “false adhesion” and easy to peel off when directly adhered. To firmly adhere PET, a specialized formula for low surface treatment or a primer (treatment agent) is usually selected.

Which scenarios will use adhesive PET?

  • Packaging laminationAfter covering the surface of the paper box with PET film, the inner lining or sealing needs to use adhesive with adhesive film.
  • Graphic and Text Quick PrintingSome business cards and hang tags are made of PET material and require partial fixation.
  • Label fittingPET labels are attached to paper or foam.

How to choose the right particles?

It is not recommended to directly apply PET to EVA particles used for ordinary books, magazines, and packaging. Sunlife hot melt adhesive has modified or PO particles specifically for low surface energy materials, which have better wetting properties for PET, PP, and PE; Before starting the machine, perform corona or flame treatment on the film to further enhance its adhesive strength.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why do I use adhesive particles to stick PET and it falls off as soon as I pull it off?
Answer: It is highly likely that the ordinary EVA formula has poor infiltration of non-polar films and needs to be replaced with a specialized formula or coated with a primer.

Q: Do we have to use high temperature to stick PET?
Answer: Moderately increasing the coating temperature can improve flow penetration, but the key lies in the formula, not just heating.

Q: Does Sunlife have ready-made particles that can stick PET?
Answer: Yes, Guangzhou Sunlife Trading can recommend corresponding models and send samples according to your film type.

When encountering difficulties in PET bonding, first send the film sample to Guangzhou Sunlife Trading. Sunlife Hot Melt Adhesive Technology will provide a formula and process combination plan.
