More and more books are using EVA hot melt adhesive for binding process. Almost all of them are used in large, medium, and small processing plants across the country. There will still be an upward trend in the future. This is because using this adhesive results in fast book publishing speed, short cycle time, aesthetically pleasing books, and eliminates several processes. But often because printing factories are eager to get started and strive for more processing, they overlook the scientific nature of the environment and conditions for using hot melt adhesive, resulting in many problems during the processing. The following points are provided for users’ reference:
Effects of Temperature and Humidity in Production Workshops
EVA hot melt adhesive is a type of thermoplastic adhesive. The opening time after application is affected by indoor temperature and humidity. Generally, the indoor (i.e. workshop) temperature should be kept constant. The optimal temperature is between 15-26 ℃, and the humidity should be maintained at around 50%. However, it is understood that very few units nationwide that use hot melt adhesive can meet this requirement. Therefore, when hot melt adhesive is used in many areas, there are too many bubbles in summer, making it difficult to cure and cool down. In winter, the adhesive solidifies, the cooling time is shortened, the bonding is not firm or sticky, and the book breaks after pasting. In other regions, due to high humidity, the book behind the cover is not properly shaped and cannot be cut, etc. These phenomena are directly related to the temperature and humidity in the workshop. So the requirement is:
The quality of book binding often depends not only on the equipment and paper, but also on the binding adhesive. If a book experiences problems such as page dropping, glue peeling, stiff spine, uneven flipping, and low-temperature brittleness, it is often related to the choice of binding glue, glue temperature, paper type, and process compatibility.

Conclusion: Conventionalhot melt adhesiveParticles are not classified as dangerous goods Conventional EVA and APAO based hot melt adhesive particles are not classified as dangerous goods. It is a solid particle at room temperature, free of organic solvents, with a flash point generally above 250 ℃. It is neither flammable nor explosive, and is not listed […]
Material Overview PE, PP, PVC, PS, PC, POM, EP, ABS, PA, PMMA, etc. are collectively referred to as plastic materials, also known as polymer materials. They are a type of synthetic material with plasticity made from polymer compounds through different processing methods. Plastic materials have the advantages of lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and good […]
Both new and existing users of hot melt packaging adhesive need to consider many factors when solving problems on the production line. The problem usually occurs in one of the following three aspects: equipment, adhesive, or environment. Any one or combination of these three variables could be the root cause of the problem. Some common […]
