Re-Moist Hot Melt Adhesives
Just add water — and it sticks.
Astro Packaging’s re-moist hot melt adhesives are designed to reactivate with moisture, making them ideal for envelopes, mailers, tear strips, and other applications where the adhesive must remain dry until use. These formulas provide excellent dry tack and consistent performance on coated and uncoated paper stocks.
What Are Re-Moist Hot Melt Adhesives?
Re-moist adhesives are water-activated glues applied during manufacturing in a dry state. Once applied and cooled, they remain inert until moisture is introduced — usually by licking, pressing with a wet roller, or steam activation. They’re perfect for envelopes, promotional inserts, and forms that require a bond at the point of use, not during production.
Key Benefits of Re-Moist Hot Melt Adhesives
- Activates easily with water or moisture
- Bonds instantly at the point of contact
- Provides clean application and low stringing during manufacturing
- Long shelf life and dry-state stability
- Compatible with high-speed envelope or paper converting lines
- Works with coated, uncoated, and recycled papers
Common Applications for Re-Moist Hot Melt Adhesives
Re-moist adhesives are a staple in mailing, direct response, and forms production.
Typical use cases include:
- Envelope flap sealing (lick-to-seal)
- Promotional mailers with user-applied bonding
- Tear strips or reply forms
- Secure closures for paper-based packaging
- Moisture-reactive coupon applications
- Educational or print materials with perforated returns
Choosing the Right Re-Moist Adhesive
These adhesives are highly specialized. We help you select the right formula based on:
- Substrate type – coated or uncoated, textured, recycled
- Activation method – wet roller, steam, hand-moistened
- Line speed and dry time in production
- Shelf-life and reactivation performance
- Clarity, cleanliness, and odor requirements
Need a glue that stays dry until your customer activates it? Re-moist is your go-to.
