Applications and Properties of Amorphous Polyolefin Hot Melts

Amorphous polyolefin are one of the most popular hot melt adhesives. Amorphous polyolefin bond well to nonpolar substrates like polyethylene and polypropylene but are usually not recommended for polar surfaces. They also have good barrier properties, i.e. low moisture and water vapor permeability, and excellent chemical resistance against polar solvents and solutions including acids, bases, esters, and alcohols but only moderate heat resistance and poor chemical resistance against nonpolar solvents like alkanes, ethers, and oils. Amorphous Polyolefin can be formulated with a range of melt viscosities, hardness, softening points, surface tackiness, and open times.
