Hot Melt Tutorial-Progress for 50 Years. Introduction, 2003 PLACE Conference & GLOBAL HOT MELT Symposium

For 35 years Tappi’s GLOBAL HOT MELT SYMPOSIUM committee has been presenting state-of-the art technical programs highlighting hot melts. For nearly 50 years hot melts have had almost unrestricted growth. Now hot melts account for about 21% of the adhesive market yet 50 years ago water borne adhesives dominated. What has changed? Why? This paper will detail what has happened over the past 50 years, where and when hot melts are used, current trends, opportunities, what’s new and what are the threats. An introduction to the hot melt tutorial.
