Rubber Base Hot Melt PSA Glue Solid For Mattresses Non Toxic

Hot melt adhesives for mattresses enable non toxic bonding

Hot melt adhesives for mattresses are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly solution for mattress bonding. These adhesives bond components together at the highest possible efficiency and at the lowest application costs. Different hot melt adhesive formulations are used for example for joining foam around springs, attaching cushioning foam and insulation to the mattress interior body and keeping upholstery fabrics and pillow top cushioning in place. All these applications are possible in an efficient manner with the lowest possible impact on the users and environment. All thanks to hot melt adhesives specially designed for mattresses.

Why choose for hot melt adhesives for mattresses

The reason for the popularity of hot melt adhesives for mattresses lays in the benefits the formulations provide. The most beneficial characteristics of hot melt adhesives for the process and product include:

• Non-toxic: hot melt adhesives are 100% solid. This means that they do not contain any solvents, nor do they release toxic fumes. Their VOC (volatile organic compound) value is close to zero and they are non-flammable. This increases product and process safety also in the mattress industry.
• Fast curing: as the name implies, hot melt application uses heat to soften them to a liquid form. The adhesives cure as they cool down to room temperature allowing for quicker and easier assembly. Packaging is possible shortly after assembly.
• Production automation: to increase the assembly line efficiency and production, hot melt adhesives for mattresses are suitable for automated application processes.
• Easy to handle: in general, hot melt mattress adhesives are easy to handle. They come in a solid form, are fast and efficient to apply and, unlike water based systems, cure without evaporation. The use of hot melts increases the overall productivity.
• Colorfast: as mattresses are consumer products, the aesthetics play an important role. Hot melts are colorfast, usually white and absolutely non-yellowing.
• Strength: in many cases the fabric or foam which is bonded wears out earlier than the adhesive shows signs of deterioration.
• Costs: hot melt adhesives are generally cheaper than other mattress adhesives. When working with hot melts, less product is needed to make the same bond. There is also little to no overspray.
• Design freedom: hot melts adhere to a wide range of surfaces. This allows for using materials which usually would be difficult to glue. Materials such as memory foams and gels are no problem for mattress hot melts.
