Cattie Adhesive Solutions supplies Hot Melts & Water-Based Adhesives for BOOKBINDING & GRAPHIC ARTS in several forms for many types of adhesive applications.

Our Adhesives can be made "Water-White", Odorless and are formulated to provide excellent adhesion to all types of paper and cardboard including some of the most difficult to bond including, Foils, Films and UV coated paper.

Hot melt adhesives and water-based adhesives are commonly used for bookbinding and graphic arts. Some common uses include edition binding, library binding, soft-cover binding, one-shot, two-shot, and cover binding. For the highest quality durable bookbinding the use of curable PUR hot melts is recommended.

Our adhesives are formulated to meet specific application requirements for color, bond strength, heat resistance, or other performance standards. Our products are used extensively across many industries and for many adhesive applications.

A more Recent development is the use of Low Temperature Hot Melts which are applied at 250°F instead of 350°F. In general, Low Temperature Hot Melts provide the same Bonding performance for most Bookbinding Applications. They are:

• Safer to use
• Easier to clean up
• Lower operating costs
• Cleaner machining

The Total Cost of Hot Melt Dispensing Equipment Maintenance and Replacement Parts are reduced and downtime is dramatically decreased providing for greater production efficiencies.

Some Key technical requirements for bookbinding hot melt applications are:

• Precise viscosity control for exact adhesive coatings
• Open and setting time
• Aging stability for improved clean machining
• Lower application temperatures
• Faster cooling for improved trimming
• Fast page-pull strength development
• Recyclable

In bookbinding Open Time and Setting Time are Critical to ensure a High Quality book comes off the manufacturing line. Tackifer resins are critical raw materials to influence these properties. The right choice of tackifiers resins is crucial for formulating hot melts to meet specific open time and setting time requirements.

Our choice of the best Tackifer resins, help make our hot melts and water-based adhesives the best choice in the industry for your BOOKBINDING & GRAPHIC ARTS adhesive applications.
