Its lower viscosity provides very even and economical coating weights and is suitable for use on Immecia, Stokes & Smith, Swift and Balema machines and where turning in by hand requires longer open times.

Like the other gelatine adhesives in our `G' range, this adhesive contains ingredients to give excellent non-warp characteristics, particularly when used undiluted. However, it may be diluted with warm water to suit the various box covering applications, different papers and to provide longer open time, thus meeting customers' individual requirements.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Supplied in 12.5 kilo cases. Slabs are partially cut into approximately 1 kilo, easily separated, pieces.
The adhesive should be placed into the adhesive trough and heated to a temperature of 50° - 6°C (120°-140°F) when it will liquefy and be ready for use. In no circumstances must the heat of the adhesive exceed 60°C (140°F). Continuous running above 60° C will cause the adhesive to deteriorate.
The adhesive may be used as supplied, but may be diluted by up to 15% to suit the work in hand, (dilute with warm water). If evaporation has occurred, small quantities of warm water may be added.

NB: Open time of this adhesive can be lengthened by the addition of warm water

The adhesive is completely non-foaming and entirely innocuous.

F.D.A. STANDARDS: The materials used in this formulation conform to the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR175, 105.

Effect on the Environment

Being a natural colloid, this adhesive is water soluble and any paper/board bonded with it is completely recyclable. It is also biodegradable in normal effluent processing plants and will break down in the soil to become an organic plant nutrient.
