Hot Melt Adhesive Film Application FAQs

Which film type is commonly used for flexible textiles?

TPU is the primary film direction for soft, flexible and stretchable textile assemblies, including sportswear, seamless garments and elastic fabric components. PES is more commonly used for general textile lamination, badges, labels and fabric structures where high stretch recovery is not the main requirement.

Can hot melt adhesive film be used with different substrate materials?

Yes. Hot melt adhesive film is used in bonding structures involving textiles, leather, foam, plastic, rubber, metal, foil and composite materials. The polymer type and specification are matched to the substrate combination, production process and finished-product requirements.

Can the film specifications be customized for different applications?

Yes. Available options include different polymer types, film thicknesses, widths, roll lengths, activation ranges and release-liner formats. The specification can be matched to the substrate materials, production process and finished-product requirements.

What information should I provide for a film recommendation?

Please provide the substrate materials, finished-product type, production temperature and time, required flexibility and durability, preferred film thickness and width, and estimated order quantity. Material photos can also help us understand the bonding structure more clearly.

How do I choose between TPU, PES, PA, PO and EVA hot melt adhesive film?

Start with the substrate materials and finished-product requirements. TPU is commonly considered for flexible textiles, leather goods and soft structures; PES and PA are used in selected textile, reinforcement and more structured bonding applications; PO is useful for PP, PE and TPO materials; and EVA is suited to selected foam, nonwoven and general lamination projects. The final film type should also be matched to the required flexibility, activation conditions and production process.
