Bostik PA 5250 High Output Fabric & Apparel Copolyamide Hot Melt

Bostik PA 5250 Adhesive for High-Speed Clothing, Apparel, and Fabric Lamination

Bostik PA 5250 is a thermoplastic copolyamide hot melt adhesive designed for high-output bonding in clothing, apparel, and technical fabrics. With an exceptionally high melt flow rate, it enables rapid application and smooth distribution across large surfaces. The PA 5250 hot melt powder and pellets have a high resistance to washing and dry cleaning. Consequently, this adhesive is ideal for fusible interlinings, garment construction, and high-speed textile production using paste dot, powder dot, or scatter coating methods.

Top Benefits

• High Output Performance: The PA 5250 hot glue is optimized for fast-moving production lines requiring broad adhesive coverage in clothing and textile lamination.
• Exceptional Flow Rates: With a melt flow up to 270 g/10 min, it ensures even adhesive distribution across large surfaces.
• Laundering & Dry Cleaning Durability: This product maintains strong adhesion through repeated washing and dry cleaning cycles.
• Lower Fusing Temperatures: The PA 5250 copolyamide adhesive activates between 230–266°F (110–130°C) for energy-efficient garment production.
• Quick Bond Formation: It forms strong initial bonds quickly after cooling and is ideal for continuous material handling in automated systems.
• Versatile Application Methods: This adhesive works across paste dot, powder dot, and scatter coating in both powder and pellet forms.
