Bostik PE165 High-Temperature Copolyester Hot Melt Web Adhesive

High-Heat Web Adhesive for Industrial & Engineering Laminates

Bostik PE165 is a nonwoven polyester hot melt web adhesive designed for lamination and assembly applications requiring high-temperature performance. Its fine-filament construction provides uniform adhesive coverage and good textile hand while bonding well to a wide variety of fabrics, urethane foams and vinyls. PE165 resists repeated home laundering, oils and plasticizer migration, making it well suited for demanding industrial bonded constructions.

Key Features of Bostik PE165 Heat-Activated Web Adhesive

• High-Temperature Resistance: Provides high-temperature performance for demanding lamination and assembly applications.

How to Activate & Apply Bostik PE165 Adhesive Webbing

Bostik PE165 adhesive web can be activated using an electric fusing press, heated rolls, heated air or radiant heat. Heat activation requires a glue-line temperature of 347–392°F (175–200°C). Reactivation time is typically 8–10 seconds, although actual processing time depends on the activation technique, temperature, pressure, substrates and adhesive thickness.

Common Applications

• Industrial Filter Media
• Engineering Laminates
• Thermal Barriers
