Side Glue & End-Paper Adhesive

Planatol Planamelt S

Planatol Planamelt S is a premium hotmelt adhesive engineered for side gluing and end-papering in book production. With a new polymer base, it delivers excellent adhesion on difficult substrates while helping reduce cleaning effort, odor emissions, and adhesive consumption compared to conventional EVA side glues.

Before Switching Adhesives

Clean Glue Systems Before Loading Planamelt

When changing over from a different side glue or end-paper adhesive to Planamelt S, thorough cleaning of glue pots, nozzles, or rollers is recommended. Clean application equipment supports stable running and consistent adhesion.
