Reinforced Polyamide Adhesives
Reinforced Polyamide Adhesives
Polyamide nylon types are often referred to as high-performance hot melts and are used for more demanding product assembly applications. Polyamide adhesives are well known for their ability to adhere to many types of fabrics. They have a relatively high and sharp melting point along with a high shear resistance. The sharp melting point allows easy application at higher temperatures with faster bonding upon cooling. These adhesives have excellent resistance to washing and dry-cleaning solvents.
