The edge wrapping process for hardcover book cases requires very strict requirements for hot melt adhesive particles: the adhesive layer should be thin and uniform, bend without breaking, and not overflow after curing. Guangzhou Sunlife Trading has provided three commonly used models for this scenario, and we have conducted systematic testing and comparison.

| indicator | SL-168 (soft type) | SL-268 (Universal Type) | SL-368 (high viscosity type) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Viscosity (mPa · s) | 1800 | 2800 | 4200 |
| Opening hours (s) | 12 | 9 | 7 |
| The edge is bent without cracking | Excellent | good | general |
| Risk of glue overflow | low | low | moderate |
| Suitable for cardboard thickness | 1.5-2.0mm | 2.0-2.5mm | 2.5-3.5mm |
The SL-168 soft type performs best in thin cardboard edging scenarios, with flexible bending and no glue overflow, suitable for light loading books and notebooks. The SL-268 universal type is a universal choice for Wanjinyou and is suitable for most 2mm thick cardboard. SL-368 high viscosity type is suitable for thick hard shell books, but attention should be paid to glue overflow at the bending point.
Q: What is the appropriate thickness for the edge wrapping adhesive layer?
A: It is recommended to apply a thin coating of 0.1-0.2mm, as excessive thickness can lead to adhesive overflow and increase the risk of cracking during bending.
Q: How to deal with the exposed glue marks after edge wrapping?
A: Choose light colored or transparent hot melt adhesive particles. Sunlife hot melt adhesive particles come in two color schemes, white and light yellow, for a cleaner visual experience.
The terms “back glue” and “edge glue” are often heard in book and magazine packaging, but many people cannot distinguish whether it is the same glue with a different name or two completely different glues? Choosing the wrong one not only wastes money, but also directly leads to loose pages and cracked covers. Below, using […]
One sentence distinction:Initial adhesion refers to whether one can grasp it at the moment of attachment, while holding adhesion refers to whether it can be firmly held for several months.The adhesive packaging of books and magazines places more emphasis on adhesion, while high-speed sealing places more emphasis on initial adhesion. The two often have a […]
Let me start with a true story that I’ve been remembering for eight years. In the winter of 2016, a printing factory owner called me at 11 a.m. and started off by saying, “Brother Shu, something big has happened. The 50,000 textbooks I just bound have their adhesive ridges broken on the first page. The […]
Curing too fast and not seeping into the paper seam? First, check these 5 parameters In book and magazine packaging,hot melt adhesive pelletsThe curing speed directly determines whether the adhesive can fully penetrate the spine paper seam. Curing too quickly=Insufficient penetration=Weakened bonding strength. The following 5 key parameters help you quickly locate the problem. 1. […]
