Bookbinding Adhesives

Hot melt adhesives have been a major factor in the success of bookbinding
for years. Technological advances in this field have made bookbinding a
quick and reliable application.
Not to mention the cost advantage of binding with hot melt over traditionally sewn books.
Overall, this helps binderies increase profitability and efficiency. The global consumption of
digital material has increased over the last few years. However, the demand for printed books is
not going  away anytime soon. In today’s market trend, the demand for adhesives in
bookbinding has been geared toward a reliable and high-performance adhesive solution that
will bind onto a variety of substrates.

coated stock has been the main driving force behind this high-
performance spine glue. In the low-temp category, ASA-8326 provides
excellent performance as a spine glue on books, with thickness of less
than 1.5″.

FeaturesSide glue with robust adhesion you can count on

At American Standard Adhesives, we recognize the
important role of side glue.
Often overlooked, side glue is a necessary bookbinding
application that binds the cover insides to the first and last pages
of a book. When the book is flexed or opened, side glue takes the
pressure off the spine and makes it look more aesthetically
pleasing. That’s why we offer EVA hot melt with slow set-times and
zero residual tack to give robust adhesion and great
machinability.
