Water-Based
Dextrin Adhesives
Moisture-Activated Bonding for Paper, Packaging, and Laminates
Water-based dextrin adhesives are a reliable, low-cost alternative to resin-based formulations—offering strong, flexible bonds without the use of solvents or VOCs. These adhesives are composed of natural starch polymers and applied as emulsions that activate as water evaporates, making them an environmentally safer option across paper converting, laminating, and general assembly.
Whether you’re sealing cartons, laminating packaging, or binding books, dextrin adhesives deliver dependable performance while remaining easy to clean, odor-free, and non-toxic.
Key Features
Strong Bonds
Provides excellent adhesion to a wide range of paper and film substrates.
Clean Application
Low-maintenance formulation runs cleanly through converting and laminating equipment.
Cost Effective
Economical choice versus synthetic resins, with high mileage and low waste.
Flexible & Durable
Remains stable through heat, cold, oxidation, and mechanical stress.
Quick Setting
Fast drying time enables efficient production at high speeds.
Food-Safe
Non-toxic, odor-free, and safe for food packaging with no flavor transfer.
