Heat-activated adhesive is a type of adhesive designed to become sticky when heated. It is primarily composed of resin, thickening agents, and various additives. This adhesive is applied in a solid or semi-solid state to a surface and then activated by heat, causing it to melt, flow, and firmly adhere to the bonding surfaces. Upon cooling, it solidifies to create a durable adhesive bond.
Suitable for a wide range of applications, including electronics, medical equipment, automotive components, aerospace parts, and sports equipment, its application process involves surface preparation, adhesive application, and heating to the required temperature. Heat-activated adhesives are noted for their high adhesive strength, durability, chemical resistance, versatility, and ease of use, making them ideal for situations demanding robust adhesion. However, careful handling is essential during heating to prevent high-temperature hazards, including the risk of burns.
