Cattie Adhesive Solutions
supplies Hot Melts & Water-Based Adhesives for BOOKBINDING & GRAPHIC
ARTS in several forms for many types of adhesive applications.
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.
Hot melt adhesives and water-based
adhesives are commonly used for bookbinding and graphic arts. Some common uses
include edition binding, library binding, soft-cover binding, one-shot,
two-shot, and cover binding. For the highest quality durable bookbinding the
use of curable PUR hot melts is recommended.
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:
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. Tackifier resins are critical raw materials to influence
these properties. 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.
