DEMCOMELT 60242 delivers very high adhesion with fast setting times, making it the choice for high-speed production lines where throughput matters. This transparent pellet has been formulated specifically for operations that can’t afford delays.

Product Overview
  • Very high adhesion for secure binding
  • Short open time and fast setting for rapid production
  • Heat and cold resistant across temperature ranges
  • Suitable for single and 2-shot binding methods
  • Excellent substrate wetting for reliable bonds.

Product benefits

Maximum Production Speed

The fast setting time means books can move quickly through the binding line without waiting for the adhesive to cure, which is valuable when you’re running high volumes.

Strong Initial Bond

Very high adhesion characteristics mean sheets are held securely from the moment they’re bound, reducing the risk of pages coming loose during handling.

Clean Operation

The transparent finish means there’s no visible adhesive line on the spine, which is important for presentation quality on finished books.

Product Overview

DEMCOMELT 60242 has been engineered for bookbinding operations where production speed is the main concern. The short open time and fast setting properties mean this adhesive performs well on lines running at high speeds. The very high adhesion ensures each sheet is held firmly, which is particularly important when you’re working with varying paper weights or challenging substrates. The transparent colour means the spine maintains a clean appearance. Heat and cold resistance ensures the finished books hold together across different storage and shipping conditions. Available in pellet form for use in standard hot melt equipment.

Safety details

Handle at elevated temperatures with suitable protective equipment including heat-resistant gloves. Maintain proper ventilation in the work area and avoid breathing vapours. Keep away from sources of ignition. In case of skin contact with molten adhesive, cool immediately with water and seek medical attention. Refer to the safety data sheet for detailed handling procedures and first aid measures.

Additional information

Pre-heat equipment to the specified temperature range before beginning production. The short open time means precise application timing is important for optimal results. Monitor application temperature throughout production runs to maintain consistent performance. Clean equipment thoroughly between different adhesive grades.
