The commonly used EVA hot melt adhesive particles for book and magazine packaging, with the optimal coating (gluing) temperature generally between 160 ℃ and 180 ℃; The specific value depends on the melt viscosity formula of the particles. When the temperature is low, the flowability is poor and the fiber cannot penetrate, while when it is high, carbonization, strong odor, and adhesive strength decrease instead. Below are three typical types of particles compared together.
| Type | Recommended coating temperature | Opening hours | Applicable books and periodicals |
|---|---|---|---|
| General EVA adhesive particles | 160–170℃ | moderate | Ordinary adhesive bound books and exercise books |
| High viscosity EVA adhesive particles | 170–180℃ | longer | Copperplate paper brochure, thick book core |
| Low temperature fast curing adhesive particles | 150–160℃ | Short | Thin paper dictionary, high-speed line |
We tested both the universal and Sunlife hot melt adhesives with high viscosity on the same automatic glue assembly line: the universal adhesive had even spine pulling at 165 ℃; Sunlife’s high viscosity copperplate paper book core is more stable when pulled at 175 ℃, and there is no empty glue after passing through the cover machine. Both have a wider temperature control window than miscellaneous particles, making it less likely for beginners to overturn due to temperature fluctuations.
Q: What happens if the temperature is set too high?
Answer: When the temperature exceeds 190 ℃, the rubber material begins to carbonize, the color turns brown, the viscosity drops sharply, the spine of the book is easily brittle and cracked, and there is smoke and odor.
Q: Can different brands of granules be mixed and used at different temperatures?
Answer: Not recommended. Different formulas result in different optimal temperature windows, and mixing them can easily clog rubber hoses and cause unstable bonding.
Q: The workshop is cold in winter, should the temperature be raised?
Answer: It is possible to adjust the temperature by about 5 ℃ to compensate for heat dissipation, but priority should be given to insulation of the glue tank rather than simply heating it up.
Sunlife Hot Melt Adhesive from Guangzhou Sunlife Trading provides recommended process cards with each batch of goods, indicating the optimal coating temperature range for easy production line copying.
What is hot melt adhesive for corrugated plastic packaging? Corrugated plastic packaging is a rapidly developing field, and so far, it is difficult to find hot melt adhesives that can provide excellent adhesive strength and curing time for corrugated plastic packaging. Corrugated plastic mainly includes three types: laminated board, profiled board, and honeycomb board, also […]
Photo books (album books) often use thick copperplate paper and pearlescent paper, which have high weight, smooth surface, and high requirements for initial adhesion and flexibility of the adhesive. Direct conclusion: Prioritize the transparent high initial adhesion EVA system and select the softening point according to the thickness of the book core. Selection List Procurement […]
Hot melt adhesive granulesHow to distinguish between good and bad? Buying hot melt adhesive granules should not only be based on price and color, but also on a set of feasible methods. We compared and evaluated the new material particles and miscellaneous materials from five dimensions, and the conclusion is very intuitive. Five step identification […]
Choose hot melt adhesive granules and focus on 7 key parameters: softening point, melt viscosity, opening time, curing time, initial adhesion, temperature resistance range, color and appearance. This article compiles the meanings, common ranges, and selection points of each parameter into a table, which can be directly compared and used by procurement and technology. List […]
