It is a water-soluble adhesive that has been used for decades due to its versatility and eco-friendliness. Dextrin adhesive can be used in a variety of applications, including bookbinding, envelope sealing, and labeling. It is also commonly used in the packaging industry for sealing boxes, bags, and cartons.
