There are three types of adhesives for self-adhesive labels: hot melt adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, and water-based adhesive, each with its own characteristics and applicable scenarios.
Type and Characteristics of Adhesive Hot Melt Adhesive Hot melt adhesive is a type of adhesive that is applied to the back of a label after being heated and melted. It has the characteristics of strong viscosity and fast curing speed, and is suitable for automated production lines. The main components of hot melt adhesive are thermoplastic resin and tackifier, which are sensitive to environmental temperature. Low temperature may lead to a decrease in viscosity. Adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesive can adhere to the surface of objects under slight pressure, with good initial and retention properties, suitable for manual labeling. Its main components include rubber, resin, adhesive, etc., which have good temperature resistance and weather resistance. Adhesive water-based adhesive uses water as a solvent and has the characteristics of environmental protection, non toxicity, and odorlessness.

Type and Characteristics
Adhesive hot melt adhesive
Hot melt adhesive is a glue applied to the back of a label after heating and melting. It has the characteristics of strong viscosity and fast curing speed, and is suitable for automated production lines. The main components of hot melt adhesive are thermoplastic resin and viscosifier, which are sensitive to environmental temperature. Low temperature may lead to a decrease in viscosity.
Adhesive pressure sensitive adhesive
Pressure sensitive adhesive can be attached to the surface of objects under slight pressure, with good initial and holding properties, suitable for manual labeling. Its main components include rubber, resin, and tacklers, which have good temperature resistance and weather resistance.
Adhesive water-based adhesive
Water based adhesive uses water as a solvent and has the characteristics of environmental protection, non-toxic and odorless. It is applicable to label products requiring environmental protection certification. Its main components are polymer lotion and tackier, with good wettability and permeability.
Application scenarios
Food, pharmaceutical and other packaging industries: It is necessary to choose adhesives that meet relevant standards to ensure product safety. Hot melt adhesive and water-based adhesive are commonly used choices because they are environmentally friendly and suitable for packaging food and medicine.
High precision fields such as electronic products and automotive components require adhesive with moderate viscosity and good stability to ensure the firm adhesion of labels. Pressure sensitive adhesives and hot melt adhesives perform well in such applications
In the fields of logistics, warehousing, etc., adhesive that is easy to peel off and leaves no residue is needed for label replacement. Water based adhesives are more suitable for such applications
