The disclosed hot-melt-type adhesive is characterised in that the amine value of the polyamide is higher than its acid number and in that it contains a carbonate as filler. Chalk with grains of 0.05 to 50 mu m size is preferably used as carbonate. The admixture of carbonate allows metals to be more solidly glued together in the electric industry. In addition, water vapour permeability is improved. These hot-melt-type adhesives should therefore be used for gluing together cables with composite-layer sheaths.
