hot-melt adhesive (<adhesive by form>, adhesive, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Adhesive that is thermoplastic, heated and applied in the molten state and forming a bond on cooling to a solid state. Used in many applications, including among the arts and crafts communities, for which it is usually available in the form of cylindrical sticks that fit into electronic glue guns for application. Distinguished from "heat-seal adhesive" which is already present in a thin layer on the adherends prior to the application of heat and pressure. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Een thermoplastisch hechtmiddel dat in gesmolten staat wordt aangebracht en zich tijdens de afkoeling hecht als vaste stof. Te onderscheiden van 'heat-seal adhesive', dat al in een dunne laag op het te plakken oppervlak aanwezig is waar het, door aanwending van warmte en druk, de binding vormt. |
Spanish ..... Adhesivo termoplástico aplicado en estado fundido y que forma una unión al enfriarse con un estado sólido. Se distingue del "adhesivo termosellado", que ya se encuentra presente en una capa delgada sobre los adherentes, antes de la aplicación del calor y la presión. |
