Our Adhesives can be made Clear, "Water-White" , Odorless and are formulated to provide excellent adhesion to all types of paper and cardboard including some of the most difficult to bond including, Foils, Films and UV coated paper.
Our adhesives are formulated to meet specific application requirements for color, bond strength, heat resistance, or other performance standards. Our products are used extensively across many industries and for many adhesive applications.
A more Recent development is the use of Low Temperature Hot Melts which are applied at 250°F instead of 350°F.
In general, Low Temperature Hot Melts provide the same Bonding performance for most Bookbinding Applications. They are:
- Safer to use
- Easier to clean up
- Lower operating costs
- Cleaner machining
Some Key technical requirements for Bookbinding hot melt applications are:
- Precise viscosity control for exact adhesive coatings
- Open and setting time
- Aging stability for improved clean machining
- Lower application temperatures
- Faster cooling for improved trimming
- Fast page-pull strength development
- Recyclability
In bookbinding Open Time and Setting Time are Critical to ensure a High Quality book comes off the manufacturing line.
The right choice of tackifier resins is crucial for formulating hot melts to meet specific open time and setting time requirements.
Our choice of the best tackifier resins, help make our hot melts and water-based adhesives the best choice in the industry for your BOOKBINDING & GRAPHIC ARTS adhesive applications.
