At the end of 2025, a textbook printing factory warehouse in Guangzhou discovered 5 boxes during inventoryhot melt adhesive pelletsIt has exceeded the marked shelf life by 3 months. The procurement department is preparing to scrap (worth about 20000 yuan), but the technical department suggests testing first before making a decision.
Sampling and inspection: viscosity test (rotational viscometer), adhesive strength test (tensile shear), appearance inspection (color/particle integrity). Result: Viscosity deviation<5%、剪切强度下降<3%、外观无变化——完全在合格范围内。
Reason analysis: This batch of adhesive is stored in a constant temperature and humidity warehouse (25 ° C/50% RH), with intact sealing and no unboxing, and its actual performance has hardly deteriorated. Labeling a shelf life of 12 months is a conservative value, and under correct storage conditions, it can usually be extended by 6-12 months.
The factory has established a “expired adhesive verification process”: within 3 months of expiration, sampling and rapid inspection (viscosity+appearance) will be carried out, and if it is qualified, it will be downgraded for use (non critical products). Expired for more than 6 months → scrapped. Sunlife hot melt adhesive granules factory moisture content<0.5%、密封包装，正确存储保质期远超标注值。
Q: How long is the shelf life of hot melt adhesive granules?
A: The annotation usually takes 12 months, but it actually depends on the storage conditions. It can last for 18-24 months in a sealed, dry, and cool environment.
Q: How to determine if the stock adhesive is still usable?
A: Simplest: Heat a small amount to the working temperature and check if the color is normal (no dark yellow/brownish red), there are no large amounts of bubbles, and the drawing properties are normal. Conditional measurement of viscosity and shear strength.
Firstly, the result is that a high-end mooncake gift box factory often has curled edges and peeling glue on the pasted dough paper and box corners when making high-end mooncake gift boxes. After switching to Sunlife hot melt adhesive for fine decoration and pasting, adjusting the opening time and gluing process, the box corners fit […]
When it comes to hot melt adhesive, many people only know how to stick it by hand or cardboard boxes, but they don’t know that it has already penetrated hundreds of industries such as printing, binding, packaging, home furnishings, light industry manufacturing, electronic auto parts, etc. It is a “universal adhesive” for industrial production and […]

Direct answer: The real reason for the intermittent sealing line on this sealing line is the bridging of the feeding port of the melt glue pot, which causes the liquid level to intermittently decrease, and the carbonization residue inside the nozzle is partially blocked. After cleaning the pot and changing the material+adjusting the feeding method, […]
