It depends on the applied adhesive weight, substrate absorbency, and humidity - from an initial grab within a few seconds on a machine to full bonding after the water has evaporated. Parameters are selected according to the specific application.

Yes. “Wikol” is a commonly used term in Poland for adhesives based on water-based polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) dispersions. Similar to the English Xerox name for a photocopier. Industrial dispersion adhesives work on the same principle, but their parameters are tailored to machine production rather than household applications.

Dispersion adhesive bonds as the water evaporates, while hot-melt adhesive bonds as it cools and solidifies. For high-speed production lines, hot-melt is generally better suited, while dispersion adhesive is often preferred for paper bonding where a longer open time is required.

They are solvent-free, making them safer for workers and the environment. They provide a strong, flexible bond on paper and cardboard, spread easily, and, when the viscosity is properly selected, help prevent the sheet from wrinkling.

Primarily for absorbent substrates such as paper, solid and corrugated cardboard, and paperboard. For difficult, laminated, and varnished substrates, we offer a separate range of specialized adhesives.

Yes, we offer bookbinding adhesives designed for the production of books, catalogues, notebooks, packaging, and other paper products.

Pressure-sensitive adhesives are primarily used in the production of labels, tapes, films, and other self-adhesive materials that bond to a substrate when pressure is applied.
