graphic cardboard laminating

 
For the laminating of graphic cardboard both waterbased adhesives and animal glues can be used, where waterbased adhesives have the advantage of not requiring heating.

Animal glue is processed in a warm state and has a high wet tack because cooling of the glue occurs at the moment that is is applied on the substrate. The viscosity increases and thereby the ´hot tack´ is created.

 
 
Graphic cardboard laminating adhesives must fulfill the following general requirements:

  • give good bonding of paper to cardboard or synthetic film to cardboard (e.g. PP or PVC). Paper qualities used are often varnished;
  • the adhesive must have a high solid content: cardboard is sometimes laminated on a single side, which means that liquid is applied to only one side and the cardboard becomes warped;
  • high wet tack: edges are often folded and are under tension;
  • setting speed/open time is depending on the machine and customer requirements.
