Addition to Mekes<\/span> graphic machinery range: Meler<\/span> PUR<\/span> adhesive systems <\/strong><\/h1>\n

If you feel the need to meet customers\u2019 increasing requirements for high-quality printing products and are contemplating how to boost your offset printing, consider upgrading your threadless<\/span> binding line, or convert your current existing binders with new Meler<\/span> PUR<\/span> adhesive systems<\/strong>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Binding a perfect printed product without threading or stapling requires the decision for adequate adhesives. In the graphic industry, EVA adhesive hot melt (Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate), or also called perfect binding, has been commonly used. Since a few decades, also PUR<\/span> adhesive (Polyurethane Reactive) is available. Both types of binders provide a nice square spine, for example, to brochures or magazines.<\/p>\n

While there are some advantages to EVA, for instance, the shorter curing time and the fact that it is more economical, PUR<\/span> might be the best solution for your customers.<\/p>\n
