Description
PL BOOK is a high quality thermoplastic adhesive, based on a water soluble PVAC dispersion, specially formulated for paper and bookbinding. When dry it gives a very strong and elastic bond. It has a high viscosity, does not shrink and dries transparent.
ADVANTAGES
- Excellent bonding strength
- Humidity resistance
- Temperature resistance
- Environmentally friendly
APPLICATIONS
- Bookbinding of book’s spines, catalogs and journals.
- Assembling of note blocks, ticket blocks etc.
- Carton box assembling and covering
- Starching of fabrics and artificial flowers
- Bonds paper, carton and fabrics

Instructions for use
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- All surfaces must be dry and clean from dust and grease and fit closely together.
- Stir adhesive thoroughly before use
- Apply an even film of adhesive using a brush or roller. If needed the adhesive can be thinned up to 10% with water
- Bring the two surfaces together and apply light pressure until adhesion is achieved.
- Initial bonding (for paper) almost immediate. Final bonding from 1 - 3 hours depending on ambient humidity and temperature.
- For paper and fabric starching PL BOOK must be thinned 60% - 80% with water.
It is advisable to perform a suitability test prior to full scale application
REMARKS
- Ideal application temperature: 18oC - 20oC
- Do not use below 12oC and relative humidity >60%
- Significant irregularities reduce the contact surface and therefore will lead to unsatisfactory bonding results.
