Abstract

Hot melt adhesive systems have advantages in many bonding and coating applications. They are free of solvents which can cause fire or environmental damage, they may be stored for long periods, and the bond forms rapidly on the application of heat. Ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA) copolymers are an important component of many hot melt systems, contributing significantly to their adhesion1.
