Applıcatıon descrıptıon

Since the introduction of mechanical movable type printing by Johannes Gutenberg and the invention of lithography by Alois Senefelder, books have become firmly established in society.

While books are constant companions of students, photo books preserve the most significant moments in life and novels provide relaxation during quiet hours.

Even the most advanced e-book can not appeal the readers’ senses as a printed book does.

As a partner to bookbinders, we are ready to supply adhesives for numerous applications from the first to the last page for industry and manual trades. We can provide different adhesive solutions for the spine and side bonding of softcover books and catalogues and for all standard paper qualities.

Numerous factors have to be taken into account to ensure an ideal performance of the adhesive like the temperature of the adhesive, the dwell time in the processing unit, the application amount and the feed speed.

In hardcover manufacturing, our adhesives are the perfect solution for all applications from the assembly of the book block and endsheet bonding to attaching ribbons for bookmarks and manufacturing the cover. Just like in the production of softcovers, the properties of the adhesive play a key role.
