My TAPPI Story: McKenna Goulette
This paper examines the advantages of using curing hot melt polyurethanes for adhesive applications. Properties of the reactive hot melts are described and reasons for selecting this adhesive type are explored. Representative end-uses are shown along with dispensing methods, applications parameters and handling considerations. New advances in reactive hot melt polyurethane technology are examined such as void free cures for automotive, improved pot stability and aliphatic-based systems.
