HEALTH & SAFETY
Hotmelt adhesives pose virtually no hazards to heath when used in normal industrial
practice, but because they are used in a molten state at high temperatures there is a
risk of thermal burns. Skin contact with molten hotmelt should be avoided and
precautions taken against accidental splashes of adhesive. The use of overalls,
cotton gloves and safety glasses help minimise the risk of burns.
INHALATION:
Vapours given off during normal operation are not considered toxic, but if
overheated, chemical breakdown of the components may occur releasing a complex
mixture of organic materials, some of which may be toxic or irritant. Ensure hotmelts
are run at the recommended operating temperatures and use in a well-ventilated
area.
EYE CONTACT:
For solid hotmelt treat as inert particles and irrigate copiously with clean fresh water.
For molten hotmelt irrigate with cold water and seek medical advice immediately.
SKIN CONTACT:
Solid cold hotmelt is harmless to the skin. Wash hands with soap and water. Skin
affected by molten hotmelt should be plunged into cold water immediately and left
until the burning sensation subsides. If no tap is accessible have a bucket of clean
cold water available. If coated with hotmelt move fingers to prevent a tourniquet
effect as it cools. Do not remove the adhesive when molten as it might remove skin
to quite a depth leaving a raw wound. Even when solid remove with care as the
above may still occur. If difficult to remove, with medical approval, olive oil or liquid
paraffin should be soaked into a cotton wool pad and placed over the affected area.
This will slowly soften the adhesive into the pad. When hotmelt is removed treat as a
normal burn.
FIRE:
Not normally a hazard, but in a fire hotmelts are combustible, use dry powder or
CO2 extinguisher. Do not use water.
STORAGE
Store in a clean dry place at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C with boxes
closed. Do not expose to direct sunlight or localised heat sources such as radiators
or hot pipes.
REMOVAL OF GLUE
Assembled components can be separated by heating assembly to a temperature
slightly above the heat resistance figure.
EVA & POLYPROPLENE:
Residues of EVA and polypropylene based hotmelts can be removed from
components with white spirit.
POLYAMIDE:
Resides of Polyamide based hotmelt can be removed from components with
acetone.
