APAOs are a class of copolymers that are made from alpha-olefin monomers (like ethylene, propylene, or butene). These polymers are typically amorphous, meaning they don’t have a crystalline structure, which contributes to their flexibility and flow characteristics when heated.

They can be modified with other resins or additives to enhance their properties like adhesion strength, durability, or heat resistance.

Packaging: APAO adhesives are widely used in packaging applications, such as carton sealing, case and tray forming, and adhesive bonding for food and consumer product packaging.
Automotive: In automotive manufacturing, APAOs are often used for bonding parts like trim, insulation, and interior components.
Tissue and Hygiene Products: They are also used in applications like diaper manufacturing and tissue products, due to their low-cost and effective bonding properties.
Woodworking and Furniture: APAO adhesives provide strong and durable bonds for wood, often used in furniture production and cabinetry.
