Hi Mike,

    You're right, couldn't find anything about HIRODINE, but I did find a few
hits about Polyamide based hot melt adhesives....don't know if you ran across
these, or if it's something specifically about HIRODINE that you need. But
anyways, here's what I found:

Go to: http://www.elf-atochem.com/newelf/techpol/platamid.html   it'll take
you to a page that talks about a hotmelt product called Platamid that is
polyamide based. Used for high temp fabric bonding and whatnot...

Another page is: http://www.interviz.com/files4/Ginland.htm   a page for a
company called Ginland that makes polyamide based hotmelt adhesive products.
Doesn't have much info about their products there, but at least gives you
some contact info so you can talk to them about it.

Last thing I found about polyamide based hotmelt products was a page at:
http://www.amocochem.com   there you'll find a bunch of discussion about the
product they make called PTA, or Purified Terephthalic Acid which is the base
for polyamide hotmelt based adhesives. Not sure if they deal in the hotmelt
product, but I bet if you talk to someone there they could point you to where
you need to go since they deal in the raw materials to make the product.

Hope this helps (ain't the net awesome?)
