Industrial Adhesive Applications
We size the adhesive to the line — packaging, laminating, woodworking, bookbinding, assembly. Tell us the substrate and machine. Call 800-249-0337 for a sample.
Packaging adhesives
We size the adhesive to the line: packaging adhesives (case, tray, carton), laminating, paper converting, woodworking and furniture, bookbinding, product assembly, labeling, and cold seal / cohesive. North and Central America.
Paperboard and packaging is the largest market for our hot melts and water-based adhesives. Food and beverage grades can be formulated to FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (indirect food additives).
Match the job on the floor
Start with the line, then open the matching application page:
- Packaging — case/tray/carton, labeling, envelopes, tape. See packaging adhesives.
- Laminating — paper, film, foil, panels; water-based, hot melt, PUR, or heat seal. See laminating adhesives.
- Woodworking / furniture — PVA, hot melt, PUR for cabinets, doors, edgebanding. See woodworking and furniture.
- Bookbinding — perfect bind EVA/APAO or PUR page pull. See bookbinding adhesives.
- Flooring / automotive / foam — acrylic flooring, interior trim, foam-to-foam. See flooring, automotive, foam fabricating.
What to send for a sample match
