Thread-sewn perfect bindingStill need to use hot melt adhesive particlesThe only difference is the dosage and location compared to wireless adhesive packaging. The sewing thread connects the book stickers one by one, solving the root problem of loose pages in the text; But the smoothness of the book back, the fit between the spine and the cover, and the stiffness of the finished product still rely on hot melt adhesive. Simply put, lock thread is responsible for “preventing pages from falling off”, while hot melt adhesive is responsible for “shaping the book”. The two are not interchangeable.
On the actual production line, hot melt adhesive particles are mainly used in three positions:
| Comparison item | Thread-sewn perfect binding | perfect binding |
|---|---|---|
| Glue usage | Less (book stickers sewn together) | More (completely glued into books) |
| Opening hours | Moderate enough | Strict requirements, matching machine speed |
| Page drop risk | Low, adhesive only assists | High, glue is the main force |
| Suitable category | Albums, yearbooks, textbooks | Paperback book, instruction manual |
When making lock thread adhesive, priority should be given to selectingMedium to low temperature, good fluidity, and strong permeabilityEVA hot melt adhesive particles to avoid high viscosity clogging of grooves; If the hardcover book ring lining and stopper cloth are fixed, use a model with higher initial adhesion. Guangzhou Sunlife Trading (Sunlife Hot Melt Adhesive) has a mature ratio of back adhesive and side adhesive for book and magazine binding. When customers change the thread, they can adjust the melt adhesive temperature (usually 150-170 ℃) according to the thickness of the book and the machine speed to ensure stable shipment.
Q1: Can we use lockwire instead of glue and completely avoid using hot melt adhesive?
No. Lockthread only solves the connection of the inner text. Without glue applied to the book back, the finished product will become loose and the spine will have no stiffness, making it impossible to form a book.
Q2: Is it a glue problem with the missing pages of the lock book?
Most likely not. When a page falls off in a lockstitch book, first check the distance between the lockstitch needles and whether the book cover is loose. Adhesive only affects the smoothness of the book back and the fit of the cover.
Q3: Can lockwire and wireless share the same adhesive particle?
Universal book and magazine adhesive particles can be shared, but it is recommended to use a separate high initial adhesion model for the fine binding lock thread, as the sealing ring liner is more stable.
Products that have been designed, perfected, manufactured, and inspected to ensure compliance with the highest standards. It’s time for packaging now. The last thing we want is a fragile container that will burst under harsh conditions such as storage, transportation, or shelving. After all, packaging is usually the first impression of a product on potential […]
What is the packaging adhesive industry? There are many types of adhesives in the packaging industry, and many different types are used according to the situation. To laminate adhesives for flexible packaging, or to use combinations of different materials such as printing layers, or just some examples of these different situations. If necessary, high-speed bonding […]
Why do hot melt adhesive particles emit a lot of smoke during the heating process? When using hot melt adhesive, its viscosity can only be affected by heating. The hot melt adhesive equipment used in industry cannot do without a heating system. Sometimes, there may be a large amount of abnormal smoking during the heating […]
The packaging industry is rapidly changing with fluctuations in demand from various industries. However, nearly 80 years after the invention of the first adhesive product designed to address temperature and humidity challenges, a fact still exists – all types of industries rely on hot melt adhesives. At the time of its invention, this multifunctional adhesive […]
