THE RIGHT GLUE FOR YOU
Hot Melt Glue
Hot melt glues are solid, polymer-based glues with formulas that contain no solvents or water, which allows them to rapidly reach peak bond strength. Hot melt glues offer an aggressive bond, clean machining and a reduced odor and char. They are thermoplastic, remaining their solid state at room temperature and liquefying upon heating, and provide ideal adhesion to substrates such as metals, plastics and paper. Hot melt glues are used in a wide variety of industries, including packaging, graphic arts, construction, electronics and automotive. As a distributor of hot melt glues for some of the largest global industrial glue manufacturers, US GLUE provides our customers with local hot melt warehousing, reduced freight costs, on-time delivery and immediate attention to their technical needs. We carry ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) hot melt glue, metallocene hot melt glue, fugitive hot melt glue and polyurethane reactive (PUR) hot melt glue and can create a custom formula for your specific needs. US GLUE hot melt glues are available in pellets, chubs and drums with a number of different packaging options.
PUR Glues
PUR glues are often used for perfect binding, form a much stronger bond than traditional hot melts and require less product to create a solid bond. PUR glues are great for anything from bookbinding and packaging to flooring and furniture.
Fugitive Glues
Designed for one-time use, fugitive glues come in a wide variety of tack levels and form a very strong bond that is easily peeled off the surface they bond with. Use fugitive glues for credit cards, magazines, sticky notes and more.
Liquid Adhesives
Our versatile liquid resin, dextrin and starch glues are eco-friendly, non-toxic, easily recyclable and perfect for a variety of applications.
Resin Glues
US Glue manufactures a line of water-based liquid resin glues that are eco-friendly. Resin glues are used in woodworking, particleboard creation, sealing and packaging and several other key industries.
Dextrin Glues
Like resin glues, dextrin glues are also water-based and eco-friendly. All dextrin glues have clean machining capabilities and are perfect for bottle labeling, paper bag and envelope manufacturing and more.
Starch Glues
Our line of starch glues are modified vegetable starches developed to provide maximum adhesion performance. Use starch glues for corrugated boxes, foil laminating, wallpaper paste and other applications.

In fact, we offer top quality folding carton glues designed for high-speed performance on packaging lines and bottle labeling glues that provide optimal adhesion for a variety of substrates.
LAMINATING GLUES
Our laminating glues are designed for high-speed manufacturing, clean machining and water, grease and temperature resistance. Our laminating glues also provide optimal lay-flat characteristics, coatability, setting speeds and open times. Liquid resin and dextrin glues and gelatin-based glues work well for laminating many different types of substrates, including paper, corrugated boxes, sample boards, folding cartons and hardbound cases.
PAPER STRAW GLUE
Banning plastic straws is one of the latest steps cities in the US are starting to take to curb the usage of one-time-use plastic products. Customers want more plastic-free options, and companies want to reduce waste, carbon emissions, and excess costs. The pressure to find alternatives to plastics is affecting manufacturing practices and our everyday habits and our tube winding glue fits those needs.
