What is Cohesive?
Cohesive, also called “Cold Seal Adhesive” is designed to stick only to itself.
Cohesive is applied to each surface to be bonded together and then Dried. The final bond is not created until the two Dried surfaces make contact again.

Cohesive adhesive is a unique type of adhesive that is primarily used in the paper and printing industries. It is also used for bonding textiles, films, and foils. Cohesive adhesive is a non-tacky material that can adhere to itself, creating a strong bond without leaving residue or damaging the surface.
One of the main benefits of cohesive adhesive is its ability to create a tamper-evident seal. The adhesive will bond to itself, but not to the substrate it is applied to, making it difficult to remove without leaving evidence of tampering. This makes cohesive adhesive an ideal solution for sealing packages and envelopes.
Cohesive is available in a variety of formulations, including water-based and solvent-based options. Water-based cohesive adhesive is a popular choice due to its environmentally friendly nature and ease of use. Solvent-based cohesive adhesive offers excellent bonding strength and is often used in applications that require a higher level of adhesion.
Cohesive adhesive can be applied in a variety of ways, including by hand or by machine. It can be applied as a hot melt, which is melted and applied in a liquid state, or as a cold adhesive, which is applied in a solid state and activated by pressure or heat.
