Skin is the largest organ of human, and it protects us greatly. However, skin can also be fragile, wet, oily or dry. Therefore, choosing the right adhesive for attachment is quite important. Adhesives when contacting with skin, comfort, non-irritating, good adhesion but easy peeling should be considered. The hot melt adhesives are defined as adhesives that melt and flow on application of heat and solidify on cooling to give a strong adhesion. They are applied in a molten state at temperatures that range from 120°C to 180°C depending on applications and materials to be bonded. The hot melt adhesives used in medical treatment are mainly hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives, which are used for covering wounds and bonding the skin. This hot melt adhesive must have good adhesion to all kinds of skin, the glue is easy to remove, there will be no residue, it will not hurt the skin, and it will not cause skin allergies.

Medical tapes are essential products in the medical field, and the hot-melt adhesives (solvent-based adhesives for medical tapes) used in them have gradually become a mainstream choice in the market in recent years. Hot-melt adhesives are widely used in medical tape production due to their excellent bonding properties, low production costs, and relatively simple processing. As the medical industry's demand for product quality continues to rise, hot-melt adhesives must not only meet basic requirements such as strength, adhesion, and stability, but also meet standards for biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and allergic reactions. Consequently, the formulation of hot-melt adhesives for medical tapes continues to innovate, with significant progress in raw material selection, production process improvements, and the use of environmentally friendly materials. Regarding the current market situation, with the advent of an aging society and the continuous growth of medical needs, the demand for medical tapes has been increasing annually. In particular, medical tapes, as an efficient and convenient auxiliary material, have broad market potential in areas such as surgery, wound care, and dermatology treatment. Furthermore, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, medical tapes are gradually developing towards high-end and multifunctional features. For example, certain high-performance medical tapes, such as those with waterproof, antibacterial, and breathable properties, can function in extreme environments, greatly expanding market application scenarios. Regarding future development trends, first, with increasing consumer health awareness and demand for high-quality medical products, the medical tape market will continue to develop towards high-performance and personalized products. In particular, in areas such as elderly care and chronic disease management, medical tapes with special functions will become a research and development focus. Second, with increasing attention being paid to environmental issues, medical tapes will increasingly focus on using biodegradable or environmentally friendly raw materials to reduce the burden on the environment. Finally, with the continuous advancement of automated production technology and intelligent manufacturing, hot melt adhesive production processes will further improve efficiency and reduce costs, thereby driving the continued development of the medical tape industry.
