They have some added benefits for the case, tray, and carton sealing industries over standard hot melt glues. Not only do they reduce application weights, but they provide equipment maintenance savings because they eliminate issues with charring and degradation. They also minimize stringing, and odor [issues that are common with other hot melt glue](https://blog.lddavis.com/pros-and-cons-hot-melt-glue-in-packaging). #####  Benefits of Metallocene Hot Melts  We have several metallocene hot melts available, with formulas that vary depending on the specific requirements of the application.  Here are some of the main features of these glues: | **Features** | **Benefits** | | --- | --- | | Superior Adhesion | Reduces application weights, produced less waste, faster setting speed | | Thermal Stability | Viscosity stability, eliminates down time | | Superior runability | Reduced overall usage for savings up to 35%, adheres to wide range of substrates | | Equipment-friendly | Lowers maintenance costs, eliminates gelling and charring | | Low Odor | Allows for safe and user-friendly work environment | | Color | White |   [Speak with our technical team today](https://info.lddavis.com/your-project-details) to learn more about metallocene hot melts and if they are a good fit for your application.  [![Download our Hot Melt Troubleshooting Guide](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2196207/e889c4f5-2d48-40ee-9c74-0ef1fab3b8ae.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2196207/e889c4f5-2d48-40ee-9c74-0ef1fab3b8ae) Topics: [Glue](https://blog.lddavis.com/topic/glue), [hot melt](https://blog.lddavis.com/topic/hot-melt), [hot melt glue](https://blog.lddavis.com/topic/hot-melt-glue), [metallocene hot melt](https://blog.lddavis.com/topic/metallocene-hot-melt) Copyright © 2026 LD Davis.
