Hot melt adhesives are widely used across packaging, furniture, hygiene products, automotive, and other industries. Wax, as a critical component in hot melt adhesive (HMA) formulations, plays a vital role in determining overall product performance. King Honor offers high-quality wax solutions tailored to these industry needs.
Waxes are used in HMA formulations to fine-tune the following properties:
1.Open time and set speed: The crystallization rate of wax controls cooling time and open time.
2.Viscosity modification: Most waxes have low viscosity and help reduce overall melt viscosity, improving processability.
3.Wettability and tack balance: The right wax improves substrate wetting and enhances initial tack.
4.Surface properties: Certain waxes enhance anti-blocking and scratch resistance of the adhesive surface.
5.Cost control: Waxes offer an effective balance of performance and cost, helping to reduce formulation expenses.
1.Consistent and suitable melting point
Applications vary in melting point needs. For instance, bookbinding HMAs typically require 65–84°C, while high-speed packaging demands high-melting Fischer-Tropsch waxes (105–115°C). A consistent melting point across batches is critical.
2.Low viscosity and good flowability
HMAs must be easy to apply and cool quickly. The wax must provide good flow without compromising adhesion, supporting efficient spraying or rolling application.
3.Excellent compatibility with polymers
Common base polymers include EVA, SBC, and APAO. Wax compatibility with these determines uniform dispersion and adhesive performance. Poor compatibility may lead to separation or surface bloom.
4.No blooming or crystallization
High-quality waxes remain stable and homogeneous in adhesives, avoiding surface hazing or crystallization that could affect appearance and bonding.
5.Thermal and oxidative stability
During high-temperature processing and use, the wax must resist discoloration, odor release, and degradation.
6.Non-toxic and regulatory compliance
For hygiene or food packaging applications, waxes must be safe and compliant with regulations like FDA and REACH.
