When it comes to applying adhesive in a production environment, one of the most important decisions you’ll face is whether to stick with manual methods or invest in an automated or semi-automated system.

Today’s hot melt adhesives are smarter, stronger, and more versatile than ever before. With continuous innovation in chemistry, application methods, and equipment technology, hot melt adhesives have expanded their role in everything from packaging and product assembly to construction and non-wovens.

In adhesive applications, "stitching"—the process of applying adhesive in intermittent dots or short bursts instead of a continuous bead—is a proven way to cut down on adhesive usage and reduce costs. It's a valuable strategy in many industries, especially when product strength and performance aren’t compromised.

In today’s competitive building materials market, adhesives are more than just an accessory—they’re critical components in producing durable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing doors and windows. At HAR Adhesive Technologies, we understand the complexity of modern manufacturing processes and provide a full spectrum of adhesive products designed to deliver strength, flexibility, and reliability across a wide range of substrates.
