Hot-melt adhesives are also available in film form. In this form, the joint is assembled with the film in place. On healing, the hot-melt adhesive melts and flows. Some clothing items are bonded in this way with hot-melt fiber formed as a light mat. Hot-melt sealants are also available in rope form. These are often used as construction sealants with a special heat gun for on-site application. 

Headlamp assemblies (Figs. 95 and 96) made from different plastics can be bonded with a unique system consisting of plasma pre-treatment followed by application of a patented, warm melt adhesive using special adhesive pumping/delivery equipment. This section describes the advantages of this unique system over one or two-component conventional adhesives and butyl rubber containing hot melt sealants. 

Hot Melt Sealants. As mentioned above, a newer approach to applying sealants involves...

Thermoplastic Elastomers. These are styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers which may have utility in hot-melt sealants. They process more easily than conventional SBR. 

Hot melt sealants of the polyethylene type may be used in locations which are difficult to reach after assembly. A stick or rod of the sealant may be placed in a door or rocker panel at a convenient time during the assembly process. When the body is heated in the primer bake oven, the sealant melts and flows by gravity into the joint to be sealed. 

Hydrocarbon resin is a broad term that is usually used to describe a low molecular weight thermoplastic polymer synthesized via the thermal or catalytic polymerization of coal-tar fractions, cracked petroleum distillates, terpenes, or pure olefinic monomers. These resins are used extensively as modifiers in the hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesive industries. They are also used in numerous other appHcations such as sealants, printing inks, paints, plastics, road marking, carpet backing, flooring, and oil field appHcations. They are rarely used alone. 

Uses ndReactions. Some of the principal uses for P-pinene are for manufacturing terpene resins and for thermal isomerization (pyrolysis) to myrcene. The resins are made by Lewis acid (usuaUy AlCl ) polymerization of P-pinene, either as a homopolymer or as a copolymer with other terpenes such as limonene. P-Pinene polymerizes much easier than a-pinene and the resins are usehil in pressure-sensitive adhesives, hot-melt adhesives and coatings, and elastomeric sealants. One of the first syntheses of a new fragrance chemical from turpentine sources used formaldehyde with P-pinene in a Prins reaction to produce the alcohol, Nopol (26) (59). 

In the adhesives area, thermoplastic, fatty polyamides are used in hot-melt and heat-seal adhesives for leather, paper, plastic and metal. Blends of EDA- and DETA-based polyamides are suggested for use in metal can seam sealants with improved toughness (234) pressure sensitive adhesives have been formulated with DETA-based polyamides (235) and anionic and cationic suspensoid adhesives are used as heat-seal coatings in paper converting (236). PIP and certain PIP derivatives are used with EDA in some appHcations (237). 

All grades of regular butyl rubber are tacky, rubbery and contain less unsaturation than natural rubber or styrene-butadiene rubber. On the other hand, low molecular weight grades of polyisobutylene are permanently tacky and are clear white semi-liquids, so they can be used as permanent tackifiers for cements, PSAs, hot-melt adhesives and sealants. Low molecular weight polyisobutylenes also provide softness and flexibility, and act as an adhesion promoter for difficult to adhere surfaces (e.g. polyolefins).

The effect of environmental legislation on the adhesives and sealants market in Europe is outlined. More efficient water-based and hot melt methods it is said are being developed in response to the tightening of environmental legislation. A report by Frost Sullivan is said to indicate further changes and developments in the core adhesives, sealants and related products market. 

Bulyk. Butyl-based materials are sold in the form of preformed tapes, thermoplastic hot melts, and one-part solvent-releasing sealants. Butyl polymers are made by the copolymerization of 97-98 mol % isobutylene with 2-3% isoprene. Another butyl-based polymer, polyisobutylene, is produced by the polymerization of isobutylene. Formulations of butyl-based sealants also include plasticizer, filler, and lackifier resins. Poly butenes are common plasticizers for butyl sealants. Solvents, such as mineral spirits, are used for the one-part solvent-releasing formulations. As the solvent leaves the typical one-part butyl, the sealant hardens and loses its elastomeric ability. This limits the use of solvents to low movement applications where durability is not of high concern. 

EVA-copolymers are used as sealants. With vinyl acetate contents ranging from 15-40 % these copolymers are particularly applicable for the production of hot melts because of their good compatibility with fillers and other plastics. Ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is a plastic with exceptional barrier properties. It is manufactured by saponification of EVA.

Use Roofing compounds, hot-melt adhesives, friction tape, sealants, heating oil for large buildings, factories, etc. 

Use Hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives, mastics and sealants, varnishes, ester gum, soldering compounds, core oils, insulating compounds, soaps, paper sizing, printing inks, polyesters (formed by reaction of the conjugated acids of rosin with acrylic acid, followed by reaction with a glycol). 

S-EB-S block copolymers have a saturated midblock and so can be compounded with suitable resins and oils to make adhesives and sealants that have improved stability during long-term or extreme temperature exposure. In addition, hot-melt adhesives formulated from these polymers are more stable under melt processing conditions and can be applied at high temperatures. Nitrogen-blanketing is not required. Stable adhesives and sealants with large amounts of oils and resins can be formulated from these polymers.
