可喷涂热熔粘合剂可以取代传统上用于粘合泡沫和其他材料的溶剂型系统。这些粘合剂是100%固体，因此VOC减少。一类可喷涂热熔胶的配方可延长开放时间，以便在制造操作中有足够的组装时间。喷涂降低了粘合剂的应用温度，因此可以在热敏基板上使用。通过将设计用于喷涂热熔胶的设备与可喷涂的粘合剂结合在一起，用户可以在不降低生产率或利润的情况下减少工厂中的挥发性有机化合物排放。

SPRAYABLE HOT MELT ADHESIVES CAN REPLACE SOLVENT-BASED SYSTEMS TRADITIONALLY USED TO BOND FOAM AND OTHER MATERIALS. THESE ADHESIVES ARE 100% SOLIDS, THEREFORE, VOCS ARE REDUCED. A CLASS OF SPRAYABLE HOT MELTS HAS BEEN FORMULATED WHICH OFFER EXTENDED OPEN TIME TO ALLOW ADEQUATE ASSEMBLY TIME IN MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS. SPRAYING REDUCES THE APPLICATION TEMPERATURE OF THE ADHESIVE SO THAT THEY MAY BE USED ON THERMALLY SENSITIVE SUBSTRATES. BY COMBINING EQUIPMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SPRAY HOT MELTS WITH SPRAYABLE ADHESIVES WITH LONG OPEN TIMES, THE USER CAN REDUCE VOCS IN PLANT EMISSIONS WITH NO PRODUCTIVITY OR PROFITABILITY REDUCTIONS.
