Frequently Asked Questions

What is EVA adhesive used for in printing?

In printing and print finishing, EVA adhesive is used for spine binding of books and catalogues, carton assembly, label application, and general packaging bonding.

Is EVA adhesive the same as hot glue?

Yes, most standard hot glue sticks and hot melt adhesives are EVA-based. Industrial EVA adhesive like TWG-HM1275 is a higher-performance version formulated for consistent production-line processing.

What substrates does EVA adhesive bond to?

EVA adhesive bonds strongly to paper, board, coated stocks, kraft, non-woven materials, and many packaging substrates. It is not recommended for bonding polyethylene or polypropylene without a surface primer.

How does TWG-HM1275 compare to PUR adhesive?

EVA adhesive is the standard choice for most printing and packaging applications — faster setting and more cost-effective than PUR, which offers a stronger final bond for demanding applications.
