How to use book hot melt adhesive correctly? Books are our spiritual pillar! The books we read every day have become a necessity in our daily life system. It establishes ideas, regulates behavior, comforts the spirit, and expresses emotions.
In terms of book design, the overall design of the book is crucial. The choice of book material and binding form is a reflection of its unique personality, and the binding method makes your book more flavorful.
1. Hot glue for binding booksApplication of glue
（1） Wireless Binding
Wireless binding is also known as glue binding or wireless glue binding. It does not use stitching or saddle pins to fix the pages, but instead uses hot melt adhesive to bond the cover and inner pages together to make a book block.
Usually, after organizing the pages by number, the spine of the book is polished flat with a milling cutter, grooves are pulled on the spine, and then the book stickers are firmly bonded with hot melt adhesive, followed by sticking the cover. Adhesive bound books come in either paperback or hardcover versions.
（2） Thread glue bag
Thread glue binding is similar to the combination of “needle binding” and “wireless glue binding”. It is to first assemble and paste the inner pages of the book into a book, fix the back of the book with thread binding, and then use hot melt adhesive to stick the book on the cover. It is the best binding method for paperback books.
If the hot melt adhesive used for binding books is chosen properly and the binding method is correct, then our books can be used normally for many years.
2. How to correctly use hot melt adhesive to bond books?
（1） Heating temperature
Book hot melt adhesive is very sensitive to temperature changes, and temperature directly affects its bonding performance. When reaching a certain temperature, the hot melt adhesive begins to soften, and below a certain temperature, the hot melt adhesive becomes brittle. Therefore, when choosing hot melt adhesive, the influence of temperature on its bonding performance must be considered.
Due to the need to heat hot melt adhesive before use, in order to ensure the quality of the bonded products, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature of the hot melt adhesive in the preheater and glue pot, especially in the glue pot.
The same type of hot melt adhesive, the higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity, and the easier it is to penetrate between pages, resulting in better binding quality. But it’s not necessarily the higher the temperature, the better. If the temperature is too high, the polymer of the main component of hot melt adhesive will undergo thermal depolymerization, thereby reducing the adhesive strength of the hot melt adhesive.
However, the temperature cannot be too low. If the temperature is too low, the fluidity of the hot melt adhesive will decrease, which means that the adhesion strength will decrease. For ordinary books, the heating temperature of hot melt adhesive is 140-170 ℃, and the preheating temperature of the preheater and glue pot is usually 15-20 ℃ lower than the working temperature of hot melt adhesive.
For books with thick book cores and good paper quality, the heating temperature of hot melt adhesive can reach 175-185 ℃. In addition, during the heating process, the hot melt adhesive needs to be continuously heated to maintain a constant temperature and avoid the impact of temperature changes on its performance.
（2） Painting time
The curing speed of book hot melt adhesive is very fast, without the need for heating and drying. Hot melt adhesive can solidify after leaving the glue pot for 8-15 seconds. Therefore, it is necessary to control the coating time of hot melt adhesive.
Only by completing the painting work within this time frame can a good bonding effect be achieved. On the contrary, phenomena such as weak adhesion, non stick adhesion, and falling pages after pasting may occur.
（3） Adhesive layer thickness
The amount of hot melt adhesive used during the coating process also directly affects the quality of wireless adhesive packaging. In general, people believe that the thicker the adhesive layer, the higher the adhesion strength between the paper sheets. This is incorrect.
In actual production, we found that when the thickness of the adhesive layer increases to a certain value, the bonding strength actually shows a downward trend. Therefore, if one blindly pursues an excessively thick adhesive layer, not only will it fail to achieve the desired bonding effect, but it will also waste hot melt adhesive, increase the thickness of books and magazines, and affect the reading effect.
Therefore, the thickness of the adhesive layer should be selected according to the thickness of the book, the type of printing paper, and the type of hot melt adhesive.
What should I do if the hot melt adhesive particles are not firmly attached to the coated paper? Direct answer: The root cause of the poor adhesion of laminated paper is mostly due toLow membrane surface energy, glue not eating paper fibers, poor coordination between opening time and compressionThese three points. The surface of laminated […]
It is crucial to choose the appropriatehot melt adhesivefor each application. The adhesive required to complete a specific task may vary greatly, so it is important to understand which adhesive is most suitable for your application. The five commonly used types of main polymer substrates are the main components of our paper boxes and box […]
Wireless glue binding machines are widely used in graphic and text fast printing stores. Common problems and solutions in the binding process of glue binding machines include: 1、 Poor quality behind the book core milling1. If the book core is not neat or placed neatly, it should be ensured that each piece of paper is […]
What are the uses of filter gel? An air filter is a component used to purify the air. Filters are generally used in farms, laboratories, sterile rooms, car engines, car air conditioners, household air conditioners, household air purifiers, etc. 1、 Hot melt adhesive for flat filter The commonly used filter cartridge adhesive is the high-efficiency […]
