AQUAPAL 239 is a medium viscosity VAE-based liquid adhesive engineered for high-quality glossy paper bags and higher-speed labelling on postal and fancy tubes. This versatile water-based formulation provides excellent adhesion to coated substrates and various label materials whilst supporting both premium bag production and elevated labelling speeds.
AQUAPAL 239 enables manufacturers to handle premium coated substrates in bag production and increase labelling speeds on tube lines whilst maintaining bond quality and appearance.
Premium retail bags often feature glossy coated papers that provide excellent print quality and visual appeal. These coatings can make bonding challenging, as they reduce the absorbency that standard adhesives rely on. AQUAPAL 239 was developed specifically for these coated substrates, with chemistry that creates reliable bonds despite the coating, bonding effectively to coated and glossy papers that resist standard adhesives.
Formulated for faster labelling equipment, this adhesive enables increased throughput on postal and fancy tube lines. The improved tack characteristics support higher-speed operations without bond failures, securing labels immediately and preventing movement or misalignment even at elevated speeds.
Works for both side seam and bottom seam applications in bag manufacturing, reducing the need to stock multiple products for various bag styles. Also works effectively across various label materials including paper, film and foil labels on tube applications. This versatility accommodates different specifications without changing adhesives, making it a practical choice for manufacturers handling diverse product lines.
AQUAPAL 239 was engineered for two distinct applications: premium bag production with coated substrates and higher-speed label application on tubes. The formulation provides excellent adhesion across various materials and substrate types whilst enabling versatile production capabilities.
For bag manufacturing, premium retail bags often feature glossy coated papers that provide excellent print quality and visual appeal but challenge standard adhesives. AQUAPAL 239’s chemistry creates reliable bonds despite coatings, maintaining the premium appearance of finished bags. Its suitability for both side and bottom seams makes it practical for manufacturers handling various bag styles.
For tube labelling, the formulation provides excellent adhesion across various label materials including paper, film and foil whilst enabling faster production speeds than standard labelling adhesives. The chemistry delivers rapid initial tack to secure labels immediately, preventing movement or misalignment even at elevated speeds on postal tubes, fancy tubes, cardboard tubes and similar cylindrical packaging products.
The medium viscosity and higher solids content provide superior bond strength whilst maintaining clean application characteristics across both applications. This adhesive is non-harmful and compatible with standard liquid application equipment used in both bag manufacturing (roller, nozzle, and spray systems) and tube labelling (high-speed labelling equipment, rollers).

This water-based VAE adhesive presents minimal hazard and is non-harmful under normal use and operating conditions. Use appropriate protective equipment including gloves and safety glasses. Maintain good ventilation and standard industrial hygiene practices in application areas. Avoid eye contact, prolonged skin exposure, contact with eyes, and prevent ingestion. If eye contact occurs, irrigate with clean water for 15 minutes and obtain medical advice if irritation continues or persists. Wash any skin contact with soap and water. Clean spills promptly with water. Product cleans easily from equipment whilst wet but becomes progressively harder to remove as it dries. Not classified as dangerous goods for transport purposes. Safety data sheets containing comprehensive handling and first aid information are available on request.
AQUAPAL 239 is compatible with standard liquid application equipment used in bag manufacturing (roller, nozzle, and spray systems) and tube labelling (high-speed labelling equipment). The adhesive provides adequate open time for substrate positioning without excessive tack buildup on machinery. Higher-speed operations may require specific machine settings and temperature control for optimal results.
For bags and sacks with heavily coated or laminated substrates, application weight may need adjustment. Mix thoroughly before use to ensure consistency. Clean labelling and application equipment with water immediately after use, whilst adhesive is wet.
