Makrolep P Adhesive A water-based polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) dispersion developed specifically for bonding paper and cardboard. Thanks to its stable parameters, it provides strong and clean bonding of materials. Ideal for the production of boxes and packaging and for bookbinding processes. Application: paper industry, printing, packaging production. |
30,000 - 50,000 mPa∙s | 48 - 52% |
|
Makrolep PO Adhesive A low-viscosity water-based polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) dispersion. It provides strong and consistent bonding of paper and solid and corrugated cardboard. Application: paper bonding, production of solid cardboard packaging, production of corrugated cardboard packaging. |
8,000 - 15,000 mPa∙s | 45 - 50% |
|
Makrolep PD Super Adhesive A dispersion adhesive with high solids content and reduced viscosity. The increased polymer content prevents paper from becoming overly wet and helps prevent wrinkling or curling during production. Once dry, it forms a transparent, flexible, and durable bond with a short setting time. It is used on high-speed folder-gluers for the production of cardboard packaging and for longitudinal seam bonding. Application: paper bonding, production of solid and corrugated cardboard packaging, bonding of longitudinal seams in paper bags. |
4,000 - 6,000 mPa∙s | 52 - 56% |
|
Makrolep PD/1000 Adhesive A water-based PVAc dispersion produced by emulsion polymerization, with a short setting time. Its reduced viscosity combined with high solids content makes it particularly suitable for nozzle application, where precision and high-speed operation on high-performance automatic gluing machines are essential. Application: paper industry, printing, packaging production. |
800 - 1,200 mPa∙s | 48 - 52% |
|
Makrolep A-1000 Adhesive A modern synthetic adhesive based on a styrene-acrylic copolymer. Thanks to its very good adhesion, it is suitable for bonding paper, paperboard, and cardboard to difficult substrates such as polyolefin films, PVC, and aluminium. Once dry, it forms a transparent, flexible, and durable bond with a short setting time. The product contains no organic solvents and is safe for indirect food contact. Its low viscosity makes it suitable for high-performance machines with nozzle application. The high solids content provides fast initial grab. Application: production of decorative or food packaging, bonding difficult surfaces to paper. |
800–2,000 mPa∙s | 50 - 55% |

Makrolep A-1000/90 Adhesive A modern synthetic adhesive based on a styrene-acrylic copolymer with increased viscosity. Thanks to its very good adhesion, it is suitable for bonding paper, paperboard, and cardboard to difficult substrates such as polyolefin films, PVC, and aluminium. Once dry, it forms a transparent, flexible, and durable bond with a short setting time. The product contains no organic solvents and is safe for indirect food contact. The increased viscosity allows for easy use in manual or machine applications with rollers. Application: production of decorative or food packaging, bonding difficult surfaces to paper. |
