In terms of pagepull tests, aging and flexibility, the various EVA. PO, and PUR hot melt techniques offer many angles of attack. PUR hotmelts are the most resistant to most inks and solvents, thus avoiding glue failures.

Hardcover And Softcover Books


Bookbinding has changed over the past decade from large print runs to small-scale production of many different editions. This change is also noticeable in the adhesives used to make books. Intercol offers a wide range of solutions for binding hardcover and paperback books with sufficient adhesive strength to withstand extreme temperature and humidity conditions.

Our adhesive range is built on standard products that run cleanly and adhere well to both standard and digitally printed paper. PUR hotmelts in particular solve potential adhesion problems due to the use of oils and coatings

Back bonding
