Griltex® ES

Bonding of Even Surfaces

Hotmelt adhesives for bonding of metal, plastics, glass and other smooth surfaces are produced under the trade name Griltex® ES. A variety of Copolyamides and Copolyesters are offered that are designed specifically for this purpose. The ability to bond to textiles, foams and other porous materials is retained as well.

Metal Bonding – Advantages of Griltex® ES

No pre-treatment necessary
Higher flexibility and initial bonding strength vs. Epoxides
Higher thermal stability vs. Polyolefins
Faster production cycles than reactive adhesives
Easier handling and higher initial bonding strength vs. PUR
Lower VOC emissions vs. solvent based adhesives
Lower cost per piece
No structural defects caused by drilling and rivet holes
