Fragile items require protective cushioning during transport. Wood, foam and corrugated are common substrates used in the packaging industry for this application. American Standard Adhesives’ ASA-8836 is commonly used for bonding porous materials used in crating and custom foam fabrication.

Possessing highest adhesion strength in this EVA category, ASA-8836 is an all-purpose hot melt glue that bonds to a variety of substrates including glass, metal, ceramic, acrylic, foam, wood, plastic, and chipboard. This formula composition consists of rosin which makes it a powerful glue for strength. It provides superior tackifying action which makes it a great general-purpose adhesive.

ASA-8836 can be used as side glue for bookbinding. As a sprayable adhesive, it can be used on large surface lamination due to its low viscosity and can be extruded as well. Because it is so versatile, this formulation can be used in a wide range of applications. The most common industries include: product assembly, manufacturing, filter assembly, and woodworking.
