When manufacturers of paper bags and non-woven bags need a bonding solution that securely attaches handles to bag bodies in a single, efficient step, TONGDE 8023 delivers as a dedicated hot melt adhesive for paper handle and non-woven handle bag bonding. Built on an EVA base and formulated for the specific demands of handle attachment, 8023 provides the balance of tack, open time, and bond strength that keeps handles firmly in place—whether the bag is carrying lightweight retail purchases or heavier groceries.
TONGDE 8023 is a yellow granular EVA hot melt adhesive developed by Shenzhen TongDe New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. for paper and non-woven handle-to-bag bonding. Unlike general-purpose packaging adhesives that are optimized for flat carton sealing, 8023 is engineered for the three-dimensional stress environment of handle attachment—where the adhesive must resist pulling forces, shear loads, and repeated flexing throughout the bag's service life.
With a softening point of 95±5°C and a viscosity of 1500±500 cps at 180°C, 8023 offers a balanced melt profile: fluid enough to penetrate the porous surfaces of kraft paper and non-woven fabric, yet viscous enough to stay in position on vertical and angled handle joints without sagging or running. The 4–7 second setting time gives operators enough open time to position handles precisely before the bond sets, while still maintaining production line speeds that keep output competitive.
The most common application for 8023 is bonding paper handles to paper bags—whether the handle is made from twisted paper rope, flat paper strap, or die-cut reinforced cardboard. The handle attachment point is the highest-stress joint on any shopping bag: it must support the full weight of the bag's contents and resist the concentrated load that occurs when a shopper grips and lifts the bag with one hand.
TONGDE 8023 addresses this challenge through deep fiber penetration and strong cohesive strength. When applied at the recommended operating temperature of 150–180°C, the adhesive flows into the paper fiber network on both the handle and bag body, creating a mechanical interlock that achieves fiber-tear adhesion upon curing. This means the bond is stronger than the paper itself—the handle will not separate before the paper substrate fails, which is the gold standard for handle attachment in the packaging industry.
Compatible paper substrates include:
Beyond paper, 8023 excels at bonding non-woven handles to non-woven bags—the rapidly growing segment of eco-friendly reusable shopping bags. Non-woven polypropylene (PP) fabric presents unique bonding challenges: it has a smooth, low-energy surface that resists wetting by many adhesives, and its fibrous structure can absorb adhesive into the bulk material rather than holding it at the bond line.
TONGDE 8023's EVA formulation is designed to address both challenges. The adhesive's viscosity profile ensures sufficient wetting on non-woven PP surfaces while resisting excessive penetration into the fabric bulk. The result is a strong, flexible bond line that maintains adhesion even after repeated use, washing cycles, and long-term storage. For manufacturers producing reusable non-woven bags for retail and promotional applications, 8023 provides a reliable, single-product solution.
TONGDE 8023 meets two critical compliance standards for bag manufacturing:
For optimal results, apply 8023 at 150–180°C using slot-die, wheel, or spray equipment. Ensure substrate surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oil and dust. Apply consistent pressure during the 4–7 second setting window to maximize fiber penetration and bond strength. Increasing pressure and extending dwell time further improves adhesion on coated and laminated paper stocks.
Supplied in 25 kg bags, TONGDE 8023 should be stored below 40°C in a dry environment, protected from direct sunlight. Under proper storage conditions, the product maintains performance for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
