JOWATHERM 280.58 Transparant - EVA Hot Melt

Transparent (clear) unfilled hot melt adhesive based on EVA in granules is intended for gluing furniture edges. Thanks to its complete transparency it is suitable for banding high‑gloss or other design decorations.

Examples of use:

gluing ABS edges with primer,
gluing laminate edges,
gluing veneer edges,
gluing PVC and PP edges.

Characteristics:

Transparent hot melt adhesive Jowatherm 280.58 based on EVA is suitable for gluing edges using edge-banding machined with medium feed rate.

Application:

When using the hot melt adhesive, observe the application temperature and check it on a regular basis by measuring on the roller or nozzle. The temperature shown on the edge-banding machine control panel may differ from the actual temperature. Lower temperature of the adhesive may affect its open time and consequently impair the bonded joint quality. At a higher temperature, the adhesive may degrade, which affects its colour, viscosity and adhesion. When banding edges from various materials, regular testing of banding strength and quality is advisable. Recommended temperature of the environment and materials is
15–25°C.

Clean any residual adhesive on furniture elements using Hraniclean 01 (08). In glue pots use Jowat 236.50.

Packaging and storage:

Keep in original container. If stored in closed containers in a cold and dry place at temperatures not exceeding 20°C, the shelf life is 24 months.
