Composition
Copolyamides are second to none when it comes to bonding textiles, e.g. textile interlinings.
Of the many polyamide hotmelt adhesives, the most suitable are those which, like VESTAMELT®, contain laurolactam as an essential monomer. Only these hotmelt adhesives have melting points that allow textiles to be fixed efficiently and damage-free and to withstand washing and dry cleaning very well.
VESTAMELT® features the following special properties:
- economic bonding, also to sensitive textiles and surfaces that are difficult to fuse
- high resistance to washing and dry cleaning
- good resistance to strike back
- steam resistance
- solvent resistance
