Hot Melt Glue Stick FAQ
YG Group offers 7mm and 11mm Hot Melt Glue Stick options. The selected diameter must match the glue gun or dispensing equipment being used.
Viscosity describes how easily the molten adhesive flows at a specified temperature. YG grades range from 6,000 to 20,000 cP at 175°C. The appropriate viscosity depends on dispensing equipment, substrate and bonding requirements.
Current grades have a representative open time of 15 seconds. Open time is the period available for positioning and bonding before the adhesive begins to set.
The current product range is designed for recommended operating temperatures of approximately 150–180°C. The actual setting should be selected according to the glue grade, equipment and application conditions.
Hot Melt Glue Sticks can bond selected plastic materials, but performance depends on the plastic type, surface energy and application conditions. Sample testing is recommended before bulk production, especially for low-surface-energy plastics.
Provide the substrate, glue-gun diameter, bonding process, required application speed and expected working conditions. These details help determine the appropriate viscosity and product grade.
Yes. Samples can be provided for application testing. We recommend evaluating the adhesive with the actual substrate and glue gun before confirming a bulk order.
