A Complete System for Every Binding Process
Spine Adhesives (EVA & PUR)
Application: The most critical bond, forming the book's spine. We offer both EVA for standard applications and PUR for ultimate strength and lay-flat performance.
- Excellent Flexibility: Creates a durable, flexible spine that resists cracking and withstands repeated flexing.
- High Page Pull Strength: Ensures exceptional durability and longevity, preventing page loss even with heavy use.
- Optimized Open & Set Times: Formulated for high-speed perfect binding lines (e.g., Kolbus, Muller Martini).
Side Adhesives
Application: Applied to the side of the book block to reinforce the bond between the cover and the first/last pages.
- Fast Setting & Low Stringing: Essential for clean operation on high-speed binders, preventing adhesive from contaminating the book block.
- Strong Initial Tack: Securely holds the cover in place immediately after application.
- Clear, Non-Staining Film: Dries to an invisible film that won't discolor the paper over time.
Casing-in & End Paper Adhesives
Application: For adhering the book block to the hardcover case in hardcover book production.
- Controlled Viscosity: Prevents bleed-through on end papers while ensuring full surface adhesion.
- Good Adhesion to Diverse Materials: Bonds effectively to book cloth, coated papers, and various cover boards.
- Warp-Resistant Formulation: Helps to maintain the flatness of the cover boards as the adhesive dries.
Case Making Adhesives
Application: Used in the automated process of creating hardcover cases by gluing cover material to board.
- High Tack & Long Open Time: Allows for precise positioning and wrapping of the cover material around the boards.
- Clean Machinability: Formulated for clean running on high-speed casemaking equipment.
- Excellent Final Bond Strength: Ensures the durability and longevity of the hardcover case.
Auxiliary Adhesives
Application: A range of specialized adhesives for specific processes in bookbinding.
- Head & Tail Band Adhesives: For securing the decorative bands at the top and bottom of the spine.
- Joint Gluing: Specialized adhesives for reinforcing the hinge area of hardcover books.
- Lining & Gauze Adhesives: For applying reinforcement materials to the spine before casing-in.
