Ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesives have broad development prospects. EVA hot melt adhesives are mainstream products.
Hot melt adhesive is a kind of plastic adhesive. According to its chemical composition, it can be divided into polyolefin hot melt adhesive, polyurethane hot melt adhesive, ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesive, polyamide hot melt adhesive, polyester hot melt adhesive, etc. . Among them, ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesive is a solid meltable polymer that does not require solvents and moisture. It is mixed with one or more ethylene copolymer resins such as EMA, EVA, EEA, and EBA and supplemented with fillers, It is made of modifiers, antioxidants, plasticizers and other materials. It is solid at room temperature and can melt into a liquid with a certain viscosity when heated to a certain temperature.
Ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesive has waterproof, insulating, heat-resistant, shock-resistant, good toughness, good bonding effect, easy to use, low price, good compatibility, strong adhesion, non-toxic and pollution-free, and easy to store With the advantages of transportation and the ability to bond a variety of materials, it is widely used in fields such as labels, packaging, solar film, furniture decoration, wireless binding, plastic bonding, and fiber processing.
Ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesive is a green and environmentally friendly adhesive with excellent performance. In recent years, the Chinese government has successively promulgated the “13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Adhesives and Adhesive Tape Industry”, the “Catalogue of Industries Encouraging Foreign Investment (2020 Edition)”, the “Guidelines for the Development of the New Materials Industry”, and the “14th Five-Year Plan”. and other policies, it has been clearly stated on many occasions that adhesives should be included in the new materials industry as key products and services, and the production and development of adhesives should be strongly supported. With favorable policies, ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesives have broad development prospects.
According to “Research on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s Ethylene and its Copolymer Hot Melt Adhesive Industry from 2023 to 2027″ released by the Industrial Research Center Report” shows that ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) hot melt adhesive is the most widely used and consumed product among ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesives. It is also the most widely consumed product among all hot melt adhesives. The category with the highest demand among glue products. The annual sales volume of EVA hot melt adhesive in my country accounts for about 45% of the total sales volume of hot melt adhesive, and the annual sales volume accounts for about 44% of the total sales volume of hot melt adhesive. EVA hot melt adhesive turns light brown or white after melting. Its application areas include wood processing, construction industry, vehicle parts, paper product processing, plywood production, shoemaking automation operations, etc.
Industry analysts said that globally, the ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesive market is mainly dominated by Germany It is occupied by companies from developed countries such as Henkel, Bayer of Germany, DuPont of the United States, and Dow Chemical of the United States. In the domestic market, companies such as Shanghai Tiandiao New Materials, Shanghai Kangda Chemical New Materials, Shanghai Tianyang Hot Melt Adhesive Materials, Wuxi Wanli Adhesive Materials, Wenzhou Huate Hot Melt Adhesive, and Xiamen Qixing New Materials are the largest ethylene manufacturers in my country. and its copolymer hot melt adhesive major manufacturers. Compared with large foreign ethylene and its copolymer hot melt adhesive enterprises, our country’s enterprises have smaller production scales, weaker R&D capabilities, and their products are mainly concentrated in low-end application fields, so there is greater room for improvement in the future.
