Adhesives for sewing book

with EVA, Metallocene and Pressure Sensitive Hot melt adhesives

Elasticity, tonality and perfect performance

Our range of hot melt adhesives for thread-sewn bookbinding provides a more effective barrier against the mineral oils found in offset inks. It also ensures perfect book opening, even when processing heavy weights of uncoated and coated paper. The quality of our adhesives allows for optimal dosages, which helps keep the blades clean during the final spine trimming.

With a focus on greater sustainability, we have developed the Metallocene hot melt series, whose efficiency leads to a significant reduction in consumption compared to conventional EVA hot melt adhesives.

For uniform color matching in the finished product, it is possible to choose the color of the adhesive, either white or clear, to blend with the color of the paper.

Features

IVYMELT 3066	Spine glue for bonding books using high-production speed binding machines, where fast setting and stiffness of the final book are required.	Hot melt for stitched paperback books, ideal for fast machines, ensures an excellent square spine, with high mechanical strength. Excellent cleanliness at the final three-side cut and high heat resistance.
IVYMELT 3067	Spine glue for bonding books with medium production speed binding machines, where a good balance between fast setting and adhesion is sought after.	Hot melt for stitched paperback. It ensures a flexible square spine and has high resistance to oxidation in the roller tray. Dosing the adhesive correctly keeps the blades clean during the final cutting of the spine.
IVYMELT 3068	Spine glue for bonding paperback books, periodicals, one-shot stitched and bonded magazines, using medium-low speed machinery.	Flexible Hot melt with high adhesion, even on difficult paper. Thanks to its elasticity and softness, it is recommended for the production of books with round spines. It has good resistance even at low temperatures. Its composition and excellent spreadability prevent the appearance of glue holes and/or gaps on the spine of the book.
IVYMELT 4001 PS	Side glue for bonding in medium-low production speed	Clear Hot met that combines high adhesion and an invisible bond line. Dosing the adhesive correctly keeps the blades clean during the final cutting of the spine.
