Product description

HM-40F is a hot-melt adhesive based on heat-stable resins and EVA copolymer. It has a long open time value and good adhesion on materials like wood, PVC and paper.

Typical use

Edge-banding with various materials, wrapping of MDF or chipboard profiles with materials like decorative paper, PVC foil etc.

(Open and setting time are also depending on the thickness and temperature of the applied hot melt, room temperature and kind of adherent’s surface.

Heat resistance

HM 40F generally shows a medium heat resistance, but this is governed a lot by the bonded material, form and size of the profile and execution of the bonding so no specific information can be given.

Storage

If the adhesive is stored in its original sacks in a cool and dry place, a minimum stability of 12 months may be expected.

Some caking of HM 40F pellets may occur, because it is too sticky.

Do not stack pallets of adhesive. Avoid direct contact with sunlight.

Safety

Even if correct application temperatures are observed, hot-melts give out fumes. Proper ventilation of working place is advised.
