Description
Fastbind hot melt binding glue is a staple in the book binding industry, and will work great for binding hard cover books, soft cover books (also called perfect bound books), tape-bound books (also called strip bound books), as well as even tear-off notepads. Choose from either EVA glue or PUR glue, both of which have different benefits and restrictions so you can select the best option for your application and machinery being used. Both of the EVA and PUR glues we offers are granulated, small pellets that are easy to dispense into your glue tank so you can add just the right amount of glue for your job, without over-filling. Each glue is only compatible with certain machines, so be sure to check your machine for compatibility before buying.
