Printing Houses and Bookbinding Companies

Product: Brookfield Viscosity  Solids Content 

Makrolep P Adhesive

A water-based polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) dispersion specially developed for bonding paper and cardboard. Thanks to its stable parameters, it provides strong and clean bonding of materials. Ideal for box and packaging production as well as bookbinding processes.

Application: paper industry, printing, packaging production.
Application method: manual or machine application (e.g. wheel, roller).

 30,000 - 50,000 mPa∙s 48 - 52%

Makrolep PD Super Adhesive

A dispersion adhesive with high solids content and reduced viscosity. The increased polymer content prevents paper from becoming saturated and from wrinkling or curling during the production process. Once dry, it forms a transparent, flexible, and durable bond with a short setting time. Used on high-speed folder-gluers for the production of cardboard packaging and bonding longitudinal seams.

Application: paper bonding, production of solid and corrugated cardboard packaging, bonding of paper bags (longitudinal seams).
Application method: manual or machine application (e.g. wheel, roller).

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 are essential on high-performance automatic gluing machines.

Application: paper industry, printing, packaging production.
Application method: manual or machine application (e.g. nozzle).

800 - 1,200 mPa∙s 48 - 52%

Makrolep ES-1000 Adhesive

An adhesive for difficult surfaces based on a water-based dispersion of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and styrene-acrylic copolymers, intended for manual and semi-automatic applications. Thanks to its high adhesion, it is suitable for bonding various materials, from paper and cardboard to polyester films, PVC, and aluminium. Once dry, it forms a transparent, flexible, and durable bond with a short setting time. Versatile in application and safe for indirect food contact.

Application: machine and manual bookbinding work involving demanding papers and surfaces.
Application method: machine application.

800 - 1,200 mPa∙s 45 - 50%

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, cardboard, and board 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. Thanks to its low viscosity, it can be successfully used on high-performance machines with nozzle application.

High solids content provides fast initial grab.

Application: machine bonding of paper bags, applications requiring deep penetration without over-wetting, durable bag bottoms.
Application method: machine application.
