Different Types of Hot Melt Book Glue
Hot Melt Book Glue is available in different formulations according to the bonding position and book production requirements.
Side Glue
Side glue consists of a narrow adhesive line (6-8mm wide) at both the top and bottom of the spine, along with the first and last pages and the overlapping area of the cover. Its purpose is to reinforce the cover, cushion the pages when turning, and prevent the adhesive from tearing directly.
Features:
Spine Glue
Spine glue is designed for book spine bonding and helps form a strong and flexible book block.
Features:
Hot Melt Book Glue Selection by Paper Type
Different paper materials have different bonding requirements during bookbinding. Paper structure, surface coating, and grammage can affect adhesive penetration, bonding strength, flexibility, and finished-book performance. Our hot melt book glue is available in three targeted formulations for common bookbinding materials: Writing Paper Spine Glue, Low-Gram Coated Paper Spine Glue, and High-Gram Coated Paper Spine Glue.
Writing Paper Spine Glue
Designed for books made with writing paper and other absorbent paper materials.
Performance Characteristics:
Low-Gram Coated Paper Spine Glue
Developed for low-gram coated paper, where excessive adhesive penetration can affect the bonding result and finished-book appearance.
Performance Characteristics:
High-Gram Coated Paper Spine Glue
Formulated for higher-gram coated paper with a denser and less absorbent surface, requiring stronger bonding performance and sufficient flexibility.
Performance Characteristics:
