Top 10 hot melt adhesives

Glue gun sticks available in 9 different colors. The manufacturer's assortment includes white, transparent, black, yellow, red, blue, gold and silver with glitter, green hot melt adhesive.The material is universal: it is suitable for both construction and repair work, and for creativity. Many users use it in needlework. The rods are compatible with various types of paper, natural and artificial leather, cardboard, wood, textiles. According to the responses, hot melt does not change its original shade after cooling. In the process of work, it freezes quite quickly, does not flow. The only thing that is important to consider when choosing this material is that it needs strong heating up to 180-195 ° C. So in weak pistols, the agent may simply not melt to the end.

One of the most affordable pistol rods. Color options will cost more, but universal transparent glue costs between 80-100 rubles. The tool copes well with the repair of plastic, ceramic products, suitable for needlework and construction work. Perfectly sticks together even the most complex materials. Transparent rods melt easily, but colored options require more heat. By the way, there is no detailed information about the operating temperature even on the official website of the manufacturer. But as a standard, this hot melt adhesive melts when heated to 85-160 ° C.The temperature may vary due to the characteristics of the material. However, even despite this drawback, the rods still remain in demand.

Popular hot glue for creativity. Differs in soft structure, ease in heating and fast solidification — it is completely polymerized within 40-50 seconds. There are both transparent and white, silvery rods. In the molten state, they partially penetrate the structure of the bonded material, do not smell and do not flow. Compatible with cardboard, twine, fabric, glass, plastic, leather and ceramics. Also glue can be used for gluing wooden products. The tool works with most household pistols, after drying it acquires an even white color (transparent version). There are no particular complaints about this hot melt adhesive, however, some users are not satisfied with the high cost of colored rods. For 12 pcs. some retailers ask for 320-400 rubles.

According to reviews, these rods are the best hot melt adhesive for weak pistols. The material is characterized by rapid heating, excellent plasticity and ease of application. Adheres well to almost any surface. The exception is rubber. For the repair of rubber products, it is better to use special-purpose glue. The tool is available for order in 4 colors: transparent, white, yellow, black. After hardening, the material looks like rubber, the gluing points look presentable. Hot melt glue is very simple to use, like most of its counterparts, it dries quickly enough (up to 60 seconds). However, without a properly selected pistol, you can encounter unpleasant shortcomings. If the rods are slightly heated, then the glue line will quickly fall apart, and the glue itself will harden and become brittle.

Budget and high-quality hot melt glue for universal use. It is used for gluing products made of ceramics, cardboard, metal, paper, plastic, glass and wood, forms a strong and almost imperceptible seam. After heating, it does not flow: the rods, judging by the responses, are very convenient to use. Heats up quickly and doesn't smudge. Also in their reviews, users talk about the environmental friendliness of the composition. The adhesive consists of EVA resin, which does not smell and does not release hazardous substances into the environment. Rods of size 7.4x200 are sold in one shade, but this does not make them less functional. Only certain types of glue guns are suitable for their use. If you make a mistake in choosing, then at the output you can get poor-quality gluing and problems in the process.

One of the most popular hot melt adhesives in the domestic market. Produced for 20 years. It is used to service PCs, laptops and netbooks, smart TVs, install radiators on microcircuits. Helps to reduce the heating of the system, prevents its failure due to high temperatures. By the way, the working temperature of the composition is from -60 ° C to +200 ° C, which means that it is resistant to freezing. It is easy to apply and spreads easily over the surface. Only now it rarely comes across dry: hot melt adhesive is very demanding on storage conditions. Therefore, items ordered online often arrive at users already completely dry, even in closed packaging. Therefore, many buyers are advised to purchase the product in offline stores and carefully check its freshness. The maximum shelf life of the composition is 3-5 months.

Economical in consumption and easy to use hot melt adhesive. It is sold in tubes of 5 g and 10 g. It has good thermal conductivity for its price category, it is non-toxic, it begins to dry out after the installation of components for heat removal. Judging by the reviews, the tool may well replace the thermal paste. It dries very quickly along the edges of the elements to be installed, and under them remains damp for at least 24 hours. This hot melt adhesive can also be used in the assembly of LED lamps without welding. Only here it is quite difficult to find it for sale on domestic sites. It is mainly sold abroad and by Chinese online retailers, but there is also on Ozone.

Thermally conductive adhesive, which is used to install heatsinks, heat-dissipating fittings for transistors and processors. The operating temperature range here is one of the best - from -60 to 300 ° C.Hot melt glue perfectly adheres to the surface of microcircuits, chips, does not have a pronounced unpleasant odor. In application, it does not cause any particular difficulties: after degreasing the working area, it lies on the elements in an even layer. True, you need to work with it with extreme caution. In their reviews, users write that this hot melt adhesive dries very quickly. Any delay, and the composition is already losing its adhesive ability. And sometimes the tool comes across completely dried up. But in most cases, it's the retailer's fault. The shelf life of the composition from the manufacturer is 6 months.

Another domestic hot-melt adhesive that shows itself perfectly in work. The main purpose of the two-component tool is the installation of heat-removing systems for PC and digital equipment elements subject to constant heating. The kit includes a tube with a hardener, a syringe with a thermally conductive compound and a napkin soaked in a degreasing agent.Before application, the hot melt adhesive must be mixed in equal proportions and the element should be installed as soon as possible. Yes, its curing speed is optimal for installation, but the glue begins to set already during the mixing process. Also, some users complain about the quick drying of the product inside the syringes, but there are still fewer negative reviews about its use than positive ones.

Affordable hot melt adhesive with a wide range of applications and a temperature range from -20 ⁰C to +200 ⁰C. Used to fix LEDs (you can do without welding), radiators and microcircuits. Drying speed is one of the best. In places in contact with air, it seizes almost instantly, and after 10 minutes. from the moment of application begins to harden. The only thing is that under the glued element the composition dries completely only during the day. Unlike thermal paste, hot melt adhesive not only helps protect the system from overheating, but also securely holds the chips and heatsinks in place.The glued elements are firmly fixed in one place, during the operation of the device / PC they do not move out onto the board. The composition does not have an unpleasant odor, is easy to apply and is quite economically consumed. There is only one minus here: quick drying in a tube after opening.
