Paper and packaging
Gluing of paper packaging is a very widespread process of paper processing. It is used in the production of bags, pouches, envelopes, in the refinement of paper by lamination, as well as in the forming and sealing of packaging. A wide range of adhesives are used for these applications, from dispersion adhesives to hot melt adhesives, starch adhesives and glutin adhesives.
Dispersion adhesives
In the woodworking industry, PVAC dispersion adhesives are mainly used, divided according to water resistance into classes D1 to D4. Polyurethane aqueous dispersions are used in the cladding (3D) of furniture doors, with heat reactivation of the adhesive. In the case of cold cladding of wooden profiles, EVA-based dispersions are used.
Polyurethane hot melt adhesives
Reactive hot melt polyurethane adhesives are used for bonding the surface layers of wooden floors. The bonded joint achieves high resistance to moisture and water, as well as high heat resistance.
Hot melt adhesives
Fusible adhesives are used to edge wood materials with paper, veneer or ABS edge. The application is carried out on mechanical edging machines that have the possibility of melting the adhesive to the application temperature. EVA, APAO and PUR based hot melt adhesives are used to sheath the profiles. The choice of the appropriate adhesive depends on the substrate material used for the cladding, as well as the water and heat resistance requirements of the product.
