Jelly glue (animal glue)
Ready-made animal glue for case-making and box-covering machines. One of the best animal glues in Europe, designed for machines running at different speeds.
Recommended for: automatic box-covering and laminating machines (e.g. Emmeci, Europrogetti, Perondi-Crathern, IML, Samed, Zechini, CMC), hardcover and file production (Kolbus, Hörauf, Mitacase), manual box covering
Details and technical data
- Good adhesion on difficult materials
- High initial tack on high-speed machines
- Perfect for luxury packaging
- Excellent lay-flat properties
| Grade | Viscosity at 60 °C | Open time | Machines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Box covering and laminating, fast machines | 500–900 mPa·s | medium-long | Emmeci, Europrogetti, Perondi-Crathern, IML; laminating: Emmeci, Samed, Zechini, CMC |
| Slower cycles, difficult, varnished or laminated materials | 400 ± 150 mPa·s | long | manual machines, Emmeci, Europrogetti; also as an additive to extend open time |
| Hardcover cases and files | 1800–3000 mPa·s | short | Kolbus, Hörauf, Mitacase, medium and high cycles; also in high heat and humidity |
- Protein glue of organic origin, over 99% renewable materials, 100% biodegradable
- Applied at 60 °C (±3 °C) at the glue rollers, approx. 70–75 °C in the premelter; dilutable with water
- Viscosity at 60 °C from 400 to 2,100 mPa·s depending on grade, with short to long open time
- Grades for fast and slow box-covering machines, laminators and hardcover book and file production
- Packed as 2.5 kg slabs in 20 kg boxes; shelf life at least 6 months; clean with warm water
- Meets the Nordic Swan ecolabel 041 (printing) requirements
- Brown, transparent when dry; use diluted glue within 24 hours
Viscosity per ISO 2555 (Brookfield); may differ from the machine viscometer reading.
