APAO, good for packaging, assembling and converting; Excellent adhesion for bonding PP, PE. PET and non-woven materials etc. Good balance of heat resistance and cold resistance.
Amorphous polyalpha olefins (APAO) are a family of olefin-based thermoplastic polymers offering a combination of both physical and chemical properties. The advantages of low molecular weight and low crystallinity (high amorphous level) provide APAOs with characteristics such as easy processing, controlled tack and adhesive strength, and low temperature flexibility, as well as low density and excellent moisture resistance. Antioxidants are important in improving and maintaining the thermal stability of neat APAOs for both viscosity and color control. While phenolic antioxidants provide very good viscosity control, the addition of a secondary stabilizer, such as a phosphite or thioester, can provide additional improvements with regard to color while still maintaining good viscosity control.

EVA
Ethylene vinyl acetate is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The weight percent vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40%, with the remainder being ethylene.
It is a polymer that approaches elastomeric materials in softness and flexibility, yet can be processed like other thermoplastics. The material has good clarity and gloss, barrier properties, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive water proof properties, and resistance to UV radiation. EVA has little or no odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl products in many electrical applications.

POLYAMIDE
Polyamide hot melt adhesive, resistance to hi-heat, fuels, solvents and grease. Applications includes the following industries: Appliance, Doors, etc.
Thermosetting polyamides are known for thermal stability, good chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and characteristic orange/yellow color. Polyamides compounded with graphite or glass fiber reinforcements have flexural strengths of up to 50,000 p.s.i. and flexural moduli of 3 million p.s.i. Thermoset polyamides exhibit very low creep and high tensile strength. These properties are maintained during continuous use to temperatures of 450°F (232°C) and for short excursions, as high as 900°F (482°C). Molded polyamide parts and laminates have very good heat resistance. Normal operating temperatures for such parts and laminates range from cryogenic to those exceeding 500°F (260°C). Polyamides are also inherently resistant to flame combustion and do not usually need to be mixed with flame retardants. Most carry a UL rating of VTM-0. Polyamide laminates have a flexural strength half life at 480°F (249°C) of 400 hours.
Typical polyamide parts are not affected by commonly used solvents and oils — including hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, alcohols and freons. They also resist weak acids but are not recommended for use in environments that contain alkalis or inorganic acids. Some polyamides, such as CP1 and CORIN XLS, are solvent-soluble and exhibit high optical clarity. The solubility properties lend them towards spray and low temperature cure applications.
