Application

Granules

VESTAMELT^® granules are used for various industrial applications as shown in this overview of common applications:

Application form	Process	Coating machine	Application
Hotmelt coating	Hotmelt dot	Meltprint, screen print	Interlinings, laminates
Adhesive films	Extrusion	Chill roll, slott nozzle	Laminates
Adhesive nets	Extrusion	Melt nozzle	Laminates
Spunbond nonwoven	Extrusion	Spin jet	Laminats
Fibers	Extrusion	Nozzle	Adhesive yarn
Rods	Extrusion	Nozzle	Monofilaments
Coil Coating / Painting / Electrostatic -Coating	Injection molding of pre-vulcanized layer	Coil Coating, Paint Gun	Bonding of hybrid components

Powders

Many industrial applications require the use of hotmelt adhesives in powder form. To obtain this powder, the VESTAMELT^® granules are embrittled with liquid nitrogen and cold-ground. The table shows an overview of particle sizes and their respective applications:

Particle size		Application	Substrate	Engravings
P 1	0-80 µm	Powder dot	Light fabrics, leight charmeuse	25-40 mesh, CP 66-110
P 1	0-80 µm	Paste dot	Nonwoven 10-14 g/m²	11-40 mesh, CP 32-160
P 012	0 - 120 µm	Powder dot	Knitted interlining (double-rib knits), woven interlining	25-30 mesh, CP 66-110
P 016	0 - 160 µm	Powder dot	Knitted interlining (double-rib knits), woven interlining	25-30 mesh, CP 66-110
P 2	80-200 µm	Powder dot	Knitted interlining, woven interlining	11-20 mesh, CP 32-81
P 2	80-200 µm	Double dot	Knitted interlining, woven interlining, knitted fabric
P 3	200 - 300 µm	Powder scattering	Needle punched nonwoven 30-50 g/m², light fabric
P 4	300 - 500 µm	Powder scattering	Needle punched nonwoven >250 g/m², glas fabric >250 g/m²
