Polyamides are excellent adhesives and molding polymers for severe environments, including materials exposed to solvents such as gas or oil, or applications needing temperature resistance up to 160°C. Offering superior thermal stability, good chemical resistance and strength, these tough polymers are excellent for electrical potting applications.

 Polyamide hot melts offer good adhesion to a wide range of substrates including metal, wood, vinyl, ABS, and treated polypropylene and polyethylene.
 
  Certain adhesive manufacturers offer UL-approved polyamide hot melts specifically formulated for electrical applications where reduced flammability is critical.  Polyamides are ideal in such appliance applications as potting water level switches, bonding filters in air conditioners, and other general purpose bonding and potting applications that require UL 94V-0 certifications.
