WHAT IS THE BEST PRACTICES FOR WORKING WITH PUR HOT MELT?

1.Be careful to not touch the adhesive applicator’s heat cylinder, cartridge, or dispenser when in use. Also, do not apply PUR to heat-sensitive materials.At some point, you’ve probably accidentally burned yourself with a hot glue gun used for crafting. Now imagine touching a larger industrial closed melt dispenser between 180°F to 280+°F. Commercial hot melt like PUR needs to be handled with care, and you should protect your skin from molten glue using gloves and safety glasses.

2. By taking the time to test, you can understand if PUR hot melt is right for your current project before committing to gluing it together.Before starting your project, test how well hot melt adheres to your chosen substrate. Apply a little bit of hot melt to a piece of scrap material and wait for it to cure before tackling larger aspects of your project.

3. The standard shelf life of a PUR glue is about one year.PUR adhesive most often comes in slugs, pails and drums, which are closed systems to help preserve the glue.To extend the life of the glue, store it in a cool, dry place.  

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE PUR HOT MELT VS EVA HOT MELT?

Both types of glues are suitable for perfect binding and packaging, but PUR is the more durable of the two and offers better flexibility and durability for all applications.

Those interested in how best to use PUR hot melt have probably come across EVA adhesives and wondered, what’s the difference between the two? This is the best answer.

What are the Benefits of EVA Adhesives?

Due to its fast cure time and ease of use, EVA hot melt is popular for use in bonding applications like packaging, graphic arts, and general assembly work.EVA glue uses an open dispensing system, which requires less of a start-up cost for manufacturing. EVA glue also has a faster drying time, lasts longer, and requires less cleanup; however, it is less flexible than other hot melt glues.
