PE Copolymer-Based Hot Melt Adhesive
Hot Melt Filler is a heat-sensitive, PE copolymer-based stick used for small superficial damage (scratches) to PE-coatings where the damage does not extend to the bare metal.
Installation is done with a standard gas torch. After eliminating all sharp edges, cleaning and preheating, the Hot Melt Filler is heated above the damaged area until becoming glossy.
