A composite hot-melt adhesive mesh film and preparation process thereof, in particular, a composite hot-melt adhesive mesh film and preparation process thereof for bonding metal and non-polar material are disclosed. The mesh film is compounded of a polar polyamide hot-melt adhesive and a non-polar polyolefin hot-melt adhesive mesh film containing a compatibilizer. The mesh film has a high adhesive strength and a durable and stable adhesion, and is especially suitable for bonding stainless steel, aluminum, copper or other metal materials and polyethylene, polypropylene or other non-polar polymers. Additionally, the preparation process is completed in one set of production process from raw material pretreatment to the final preparation of the hot melt adhesive mesh film product, thereby greatly reducing production failures, and providing high production efficiency and low costs.
