Bookbinding Glue

Bookbinding glue is a professional hot melt adhesive specially designed for book binding, which has stable bonding performance, uniform bonding strength and good processability for modern book manufacturing. It is one of the key ingredients in book binding adhesive and is applied in book binding, paper bonding and in other paper applications that demand high quality adhesion and flexible performance.

Hot melt Bookbinding Glue is a solvent-free, fast-bonding glue that can be used in continuous production processes. The adhesive is formulated to obtain consistent melting characteristics, coating uniformity and strong adherence in various book binding processes.

Adhesive (Shanghai) Co. Ltd has over 20 years of experience in the research and development and production of hot melt adhesive. The book binding glue is formulated by advanced adhesive technology for global printing companies, book manufacturers and adhesive distributors.

Product Technical Data

The technical properties of a professional bookbinding glue are dependent on several factors such as viscosity control, softening point, setting speed and application temperature. Our hot melt adhesive has the following technical parameters to prove its stable processing characteristics.

Item	Specification
Product Type	Hot Melt Adhesive
Appearance	Solid Hot Melt Adhesive
Softening Point	80-85±2℃
Open Time	6-8 seconds
Setting Time	10-12 seconds
Viscosity	3000-3200cps at 170℃
Recommended Application Temperature	150-170℃
Available Colors	Milky White / Mist White / Semi Transparent / Fully Transparent

The softening point of bookbinding glue is controlled between 80-85±2℃, which means that it has a suitable thermal stability in storage, transportation, and application. The controlled softening properties enable efficient melting of the adhesive under the recommended operating conditions, while ensuring stable performance during the manufacturing process.

The adhesive has a viscosity range of 3000-3200cps at 170℃, which guarantees a smooth flow and stable coating properties. Stable viscosity is relevant to professional book binding because it ensures a consistent application of adhesive and minimises variation in the production process.

The recommended application temperature is from 150-170℃, which can effectively melt and bond the adhesive. Optimum temperature control ensures better adhesive flow, coating quality and ultimate bonding strength.

Product Performance

Strong Bonding Strength for Professional Book Binding

The bookbinding glue is specially formulated to ensure good adhesion between paper sheets, covers and various book binding materials. Once cured, the adhesive forms a bond that provides good adhesion between books and helps keep them structurally sound for everyday use.

In the professional book production, it is imperative to have consistent bonding quality. The stability of the book binding adhesive facilitates bonding without defects and provides consistent performance from batch to batch. The adhesive can be used in different types of book products with the requirements of long-term and flexible bonding properties.

Flexible Bonding Performance After Curing

High quality book binding adhesive needs to be flexible. The cured bookbinding glue, which has a balance of adhesive structure, will not impair the bonding performance of finished books when opened and closed.

The adhesive’s flexible bonding property makes it appropriate for products that are handled often, such as paperback books, hardcover books, notebooks, catalogs, and other bound printed products.

Smooth Application and Consistent Coating Performance

The hot melt adhesive used in book binding should be able to perform well from the application point of view during production. The main purpose of bookbinding glue is to give the glue a controlled melting process, which will result in smooth flow of the glue and a uniform coating during the bookbinding process.

The adhesive is suitable for use on a variety of production equipment, which helps manufacturers to keep the production quality stable when the book is continuously bound.

Reliable Performance for Continuous Production

In modern book manufacturing, the use of adhesives which are stable under a continuous production condition is required. Industrial bookbinding glue is formulated for professional bookbinding applications where reliability of adhesion, processing stability and production efficiency are crucial.

The adhesive can be used in various stages of book printing, ranging from basic printing to large-scale commercial printing and binding production.
