Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA) are ideal for DIY projects because they adhere to various materials and surfaces, including ceramic, cloth, paper, metal, cardboard, and plastics. Although DIY is common in Western countries like Europe and North America, it is still a relatively new idea in emerging markets like the U.A.E., India, and Turkey.

The DIY uses range from crafts to woodworking to packaging for everyday items. Due to its simplicity of usage and the accessibility of HMA guns, the stick version of HMA is frequently employed in various applications. There are several applications of HMA in various industries, such as,

• Label Industry

A key species in adhesive labels is HMA. The chemical characteristics of hot melt glue don't vary with temperature beyond a specific temperature range, but the physical circumstances do. Both the early and steady viscous forces are excellent.

Due to the solid nature of the product, which makes it simple to pack, transport, and store, as well as its high value-added, rapid production rate, lack of solvent, lack of pollution, and lack of poisonous or unpleasant taste. Its benefits in terms of environmental protection are causing it to become more and more well-liked and well-known among consumers.

• Sanitary Industry

HMA has been frequently utilized in sanitary materials as the primary component of the laminating and coating process for non-woven fabrics.

Fast-moving consumer items often used in everyday life include feminine sanitary products, children's and adult diapers, and others. Outsiders find it difficult to comprehend that these personal hygiene items also frequently employ HMA.

• Express Delivery Industry

As online shopping grows in popularity, there are an increasing number of express items and fast orders that require packaging and pasting.

The express delivery sector makes extensive use of HMA. It may be used, for instance, to seal all types of express bags, adhere brown paper envelopes, seal bubble bags, and paste express sheets.

• Packing Industry

Composite packaging can also employ HMA. HMA should be sprayed when used as a coating material. The glue must work well under flow conditions and have the proper opening and setting times. The product also needs to have a strong cohesiveness, a high viscosity, and a light color.

• Automotive Industry

The automobile sector has been expanding, particularly in China, India, Japan, and other emerging nations; this trend will likely continue in the future; HMA will be used more frequently in this industry. 

Currently, the Asia-Pacific makes up over half of the worldwide automotive adhesive industry.
