Application of Fischer-Tropsch Wax（FT Wax） in Hot Melt Adhesives

The application of Fischer-Tropsch wax in hot-melt adhesives. Because the product itself is solid, hot-melt adhesives are easy to package, transport, store, solvent-free, pollution-free, and non-toxic; and the production process is simple and high value-added.It is favored for its strong bonding strength and fast speed.

The basic resin of the hot melt adhesive is the copolymerization of ethylene and ethylene acetate under high temperature and high pressure, that is, EVA resin. This resin is the main component of making hot melt adhesive, the proportion and quality of the basic resin determine the basic performance of hot melt adhesive. Secondly, the selection and use of tackifiers, viscosity modifiers, and antioxidants are also very important.

In the application of hot melt adhesives, the application characteristics of Fischer-Tropsch wax:
1. Without any pollution and smell, it can be directly used in the hot melt adhesive industry where food is in contact.
2. It has a higher freezing point, which can improve the heat resistance of hot melt adhesives.
3. The needle penetration is small, which can improve the strength of the hot melt adhesive.
4. The carbon distribution range is relatively narrow, the opening time is relatively short, and the curing time is short.

Nanjing TIANSHI Fischer-Tropsch wax（FT Wax） is an ideal synthetic wax for EVA-based hot melt adhesives. It can effectively improve the heat resistance and quick drying of the adhesive.
