Hot melt glue, or hot melt adhesive, is a fast, clean, high-performance bonding technology. Used in a wide variety of industries, from manufacturing and component assembly to packaging, labeling and printing. This technology ensures secure, long-lasting adhesions that can be customized to the materials involved. It is also used in food applications where specific certifications such as EU 1935/2004 and BRC are required.

Power Adhesives professional hot-melt glue guns offer precision solutions for every application need. In this article we delve into the main areas of use, features of the applicators, and top models that will also be featured at IPACK-IMA 2025.

In what areas are hot melt adhesives used.

Hot melt adhesives are extremely versatile and are used in many industries to achieve reliable bonding in a short time. Hot melt guns enable clean, precise and durable applications on both homogeneous surfaces and dissimilar materials.

Key application areas include:

  • industrial and manufacturing sector,
  • Assembly of components and finished products,
  • packaging, labeling and printing.

Hot melt glue for industrial and manufacturing sector

In the industrial and manufacturing context, hot-melt glue guns find use in the manufacture of products, semi-finished products and technical components.

Benefits include a dramatic reduction in bonding time and cleaner workstations.

Materials such as plastic, cardboard, wood, metal and technical textiles can be glued with high reliability. The professional hot glue gun also ensures constant temperature control, which is essential for maintaining the quality of the process even over long production runs.

Hot melt adhesives for product assembly

In the assembly industry, professional glue guns are a strategic solution for companies that manufacture electronic devices, furniture, auto parts or electromechanical equipment.

Adhesive flow control and the ability to work with professional hot melt glue sticks of different chemical compositions allow unique flexibility in order management.

In particular, hot melt adhesive guns are also well suited to niche or custom production, without compromising on efficiency and precision

Hot melt glue for packaging and printing

The world of packaging and printing requires fast and accurate gluing, often in high production rate environments. The professional hot glue gun makes it possible to seal boxes, attach labels, create displays, and make custom packaging cleanly and quickly.

Thanks to compatibility with high-adhesive sticks and high thermal stability, professional packaging glue guns ensure consistent performance on automatic and semi-automatic packaging lines.
