National Adhesives Publishes Flyer on Back Seam Adhesives for Envelope Manufacturing


BRIDGEWATER, NJ, June 12, 2008 - National Adhesives (www.nationaladh.com) has published a new flyer on its back seam adhesives, which provides envelope manufacturers with consistent performance in rotary stencil seam applications.

According to the flyer, NATIONAL® back seam adhesives have proven performance on the fastest folding equipment, giving minimal throw and clean transfer without splashing. The adhesives also offer exceptional gum box stability and are formulated to stay cool in the gum box, minimizing the tendency of the adhesive to thicken over time.

NATIONAL back seam adhesives provide good adhesion on difficult kraft, vellum or rag bond papers, eliminating the need to change seam adhesives on all but the most porous of papers. The adhesives also are formulated to resist excessive penetration of the paper stock and premature reactivation of the seal gum.

National Adhesives works closely with machinery and equipment manufacturers to ensure that its adhesives match the latest technological advances and provide batch to batch consistency, qualities that help make envelope manufacturing operations more productive and profitable, according to the publication.
