BOOKBINDING AND GRAPHIC ARTS ADHESIVES

NEW LEVEL OF PROCESS EFFICIENCY IN BOOKBINDING

The digitization of production processes is also having an impact on the bookbinding industry. As cost pressures increase, bookbinders are finding it increasingly important to make their processes as efficient as possible. Bookbinding glue is not all the same. Whether you need flexible spine adhesive, side glues, case binding adhesive, or perfect binding adhesive, we can deliver the best adhesive for your application. 

These products allow a performance and cost competitive upgrade to EVA-based hot melts for the binding of soft/hard cover, perfect bound/sewn and rounded books. The innovative hot melt range shows outstanding results in heat/cold resistance, thermal stability, and application weight. Thus, setting new benchmarks for cleaner production, increased mileage, and reliable bonding at a competitive cost-in-use.

Walmark Bookbinding Adhesives

BOOKBINDING PURs

PUR Adhesives or Polyurethane Reactive Hot Melts and liquids have become the standard adhesive for hard to bind materials. PUR adhesives are reactive to moisture, either in the air or on your substrate, creating a bond that is heat resistant, water resistant, and chemical resistant. PURs can be used in various applications including Car Assembly, Woodworking, Fabric, Lamination, Industrial & Bookbinding, and Structural & Assembly.

PURs in bookbinding provide a clear adhesion line, flexible spines, and adhesion to difficult substrates that is far superior to its standard EVA bookbinding adhesives.
