- Key Products/Technologies
- **Hot Melt Film Adhesive**: A solvent-free, film-type thermoplastic adhesive that bonds by applying heat and pressure, representing an eco-friendly product. It is categorized into release liner type and linerless type, with the latter being particularly environmentally friendly due to no waste generation and excellent reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Supplied to global sports brands like Nike and Adidas, its consistent adhesive thickness also allows for use in large sunroof fabrics.**Hot Melt Film Adhesive**: A solvent-free, film-type thermoplastic adhesive that bonds by applying heat and pressure, representing an eco-friendly product.
