If we could summarise the hotmelt system in a few words…
This is a safer, faster glue application that bonds many materials including foam, fabric, polystyrene, cardboard, and more. It is 40-60% more cost-effective than other typical glue applications.
Read on to find out the critical reasons why this system is right for you.
You need to tick all the boxes with HSE.
Are hazardous glues causing you problems? Do you want to reduce the use of harmful solvents in your factory?
Or maybe the HSE have made a visit with some action points you need to resolve…
Finding a safer alternative can be a challenge when health and safety impose challenging guidelines. Working through them without jeopardising your production process is important.
HSE state the following about adhesives containing dichloromethane (DCM):
With our hotmelt system it removes the worry and the cost that comes with spray booths, extraction and PPE.
Make it quick with a one-way stick.
With the Rapid Raptor handy applicator, the accurate glue coverage and one-sided stick make it a true recipe for streamlining production.
Usually applications with solvent-based and water-based glues require a two-way stick, applying glue to both surfaces and bringing these together. With the hotmelt system, most applications only require a one way stick *(i.e. applying the glue to one surface).
The hotmelt machine is compact in size and completely mobile, allowing it to be easily moved around in your factory. The rapid application allows you to bond many materials quickly (such as foam and fabrics) resulting in reduced production times.
A safer glue doesn’t have to increase the cost of your production. Save 60% on glue consumption.
Being cost-effective doesn’t just mean the cost of the glue; instead it includes the whole process.
With a one-way stick and an applicator gun that allows you to control the flow of the glue and the amount applied, you get no messy overspray and no wasted glue.
Typical adhesives such as solvent-based spray or water-based glues use vastly more product compared to the hotmelt system. This 100% solid hotmelt glue goes a lot further. You will be surprised at how much less you use!
With this application and glue, there is no longer a requirement for PPE, an extraction system, or spray booths, removing costly maintenance and ongoing expenditure.
There are 6 key components that make up the system that you can’t do without…

You may have seen details on the hotmelt system but aren’t sure if the system could replace your current glue process. Get in touch with us today on 01223 412373 to discuss your application or read below your questions answered.
Contact us today to book in a demo and discuss your current glue processes to see if this system is the right one for your application.
Timbond H509 cures quickly, but not so quickly that you don’t have enough time to reposition materials. To find out more, see our technical datasheet or speak to a technical expert to discuss your exact application. You’ll also have a chance to test this during the demo with one of our technical directors.
Depending on your current volumes, our team can give you an estimation of how much glue you’ll need compared to your existing usage. With the hotmelt system’s one-way application and efficient applicator gun, less glue is required, making it a more cost-effective solution.
There is a wide range of different industries including:
The cost depends on your specific requirements and the equipment you choose. We offer flexible payment options which saves you the upfront costs of purchasing a machine outright. The cost of the hotmelt glue may also vary depending on the volume required. Contact us for a quotation based on your needs.
The hotmelt system is an ideal alternative to solvent-based glues however we would need to discuss what materials you are bonding and how often. Please give us a on 01223 412373 to talk this through and the next steps.
Overall, the hotmelt system is a faster, safer and more cost-effective way of applying glue to foam and fabric.
You may require a change of process so the team can use the machine at different times, or you may need multiple machines.
Contact us to discuss your current glue process. Using the machines will mean there is less waste, no disposal of aerosols, and a 100% solvent-free glue application. However we will discuss if it’s a practical solution for you and give recommendations.
If you have recently had a HSE check and not had any issues and have passed the tests, depending on the glues you are currently using, the hotmelt system is still going to be a safer option.
One example is solvent-based spray glues may pass safety requirements only because there is enough space in your factory, the correct equipment (such as a spray booths, extraction) and PPE is in place to make it safer. But hotmelt glue is 100% solvent-free and no PPE or spray booth is required, ultimately making the system a more cost effective option.
The hotmelt system is a faster, safer and more cost-effective way of applying glue. Below we explain further its benefits compared with a canister or aerosol glue…
The efficient swirl pattern by the hotmelt system can significantly reduce glue consumption to allow you to be more cost effective.
