Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for applying droplets (65) of an adhesive composition to a surface (67) via one or more nozzles (61) characterised in that the nozzle is a nozzle of a continuous ink jet printing apparatus. Preferably, the adhesive is fed under pressure to the nozzle from which the adhesive issues as a single stream (64), the stream is stimulated to break up the stream into substantially uniformly sized and spaced apart droplets, the droplets are selectively charged and passed through a deflecting electric field whereby the droplets are caused to follow a selected flight path either to a selected position on the surface or to a catching means (66).
