PLANATOL smart gluing…
The range of glues and adhesives made by Planatol now includes a large number of products for industrial and manual book manufacturing. In addition to dispersions, hotmelts and polyurethane melt adhesiveshotmelts have also become established for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, with the new hotmelt technology Planamelt, we are able to offer an adhesive system which is somewhere between EVA hotmelt and PUR adhesive.
About PLANATOL
With over 85 years of experience in the tradition of manufacturing glues for bookbinding. As early as 1932, the company began producing dispersions for manual book manufacturing and the newly invented adhesive binding. Thanks to our vast experience and expertise in the adhesive binding of books, we are able to continuously develop new adhesives and innovative adhesive systems to convince our customers.
PLANAMELT – A whole new league for binding adhesives!
The advantages of EVA and PUR adhesives in a single system. Hybrid gluing!
- No additional expenditure – Works in existing hotmelt systems / not reactive systems
- Low consumption – Thin adhesive application
- Very strong bond – High pull resistance value even on difficult paper types
- Excellent for layflat characteristics
The benefits of Planamelt technology have been confirmed in industrial tests by machine manufacturers as well as in a study by the University of Applied Sciences in Munich.
In a test procedure with various paper grammages, Planamelt achieved consistently higher pull resistance values in direct comparison with the tested EVA technology. With a grammage of 200 g/m², the cohesiveness of the adhesive binding was almost the same quality as PUR adhesive.
Compared with EVA adhesives, Planamelt not only offers better adhesive properties but is also the better choice in economical terms thanks to the lower applied quantities. Planamelt also has advantages over the typical PUR technology due to the considerably lower price and process costs as well as its universal use and better process control.
