The melting point of a hot melt adhesive is the point where a steel ball cannot be carried anymore by a hot melt film. The melting point, or melting behaviour, may be an indication of:
- The minimal tank temperature
- The maximal heat resistance
- The chemical composition
The melting point is not a value for:
- Melt flow index
- Heat resistance
- Application temperature
