Which Hot Melt Chemistry Fits Your Application?

Answer 3 questions to see whether PES (copolyester), TPU, or EVA hot melt film best matches your bonding requirement — based on Teng Yang’s chemistry comparison data (dry-cleaning resistance, post-wash flexibility, relative cost).

1. Does the finished product need to survive dry-cleaning solvents?

2. Will it undergo frequent washing after bonding?

3. What matters more for this order?

 
 
Property PES TPU EVA
Dry-cleaning solvent resistance High Moderate Low
Post-wash flexibility retention High High Moderate
Relative material cost Higher Highest Lowest

Based on Teng Yang’s published chemistry comparison (see Performance Comparison table above). Peel/shear performance is substrate- and process-specific per ASTM D1002 — confirm with a technical data sheet and sample test before finalizing chemistry.
