Planatol Planamelt S
Planatol Planamelt S is a hotmelt adhesive for side gluing and end-papering in book production. It is built on a new polymer base and gives excellent adhesion on difficult substrates. Compared with conventional EVA side glues, it helps reduce cleaning effort, odor emissions, and adhesive consumption.
Clean glue systems before loading Planamelt
When changing over to Planamelt S from a different side glue or end-paper adhesive, clean the glue pots, nozzles, or rollers thoroughly first. Clean application equipment supports stable running and consistent adhesion.
