Why Glue Dots vs. Competitor Methods
Glue Dots have been a favored adhesive solution in many industries because they outperform competitive methods. Double-sided tapes, liquid glues and hot melt adhesives simply don’t offer you the same benefits or versatility.
- Glue Dots vs. Double-sided Tape - Unlike double-sided tape, Glue Dots adhesives provide a clean, instant bond, with no residue. Plus, Standard Glue Dots are available in five different tack levels and three different profiles and Custom Glue Dots can be configured to your specific application, which means you don’t have to settle for the one-size-doesn’t-always-fit-all adhesive solution offered by double-sided tapes.
- Glue Dots vs. Liquid Glues - The benefit of Glue Dots versus liquid glues can be summed up in one simple word: With no drying or curing time and by eliminating excess squeeze out, Glue Dots adhesives allow you to control almost every aspect of the adhesive process. Liquid glues simply cannot promise this level of consistency.
- Glue Dots vs. Hot Melt Adhesives (HMAs) - Glue Dots Brand Adhesives are everything that HMAs are not. Glue Dots provide more adhesive tack levels and size options, have no setting or curing time, eliminate all the mess associated with hot melt adhesives and will never cause burn injuries.
