Planatol bookbinding glue is a special adhesive for gluing paper, cardboard and paperboard. Depending on the job, it can be used unthinned or thinned or mixed with starch paste or cellulose paste. The mixing of bookbinding glue and paste glue produces an adhesive that is excellent to work with: even a small amount of bookbinding glue has the effect of making the paste glue insoluble, of making it become sticky more quickly and of preventing the material being worked on from becoming warped or wavy. It is also true in the reverse: bookbinding glue is a lot easier to spread if a small amount of paste glue is added to it: it dries more slowly and the bonding of the work pieces also takes place more slowly. Paste glue can be used as a thinner instead of water.

The bonding of paper materials with aqueous adhesives – especially surface layer bonding – is not an easy matter but, when done properly, it does produce very nice results. There is always the danger, however, that layouts or posters will end up being glued to what have become irreparably wavy or warped carrier materials if you are not careful. There is an excellent introduction to the techniques of bookbinding written by Franz Zeier called Books, Boxes & Portfolios (in our shop in German but available in English as well in the internet). Our chart depicting the possible uses of various adhesive mixtures and the best mixing ratios for certain jobs is based on this book.

FYI: there is a simple recipe, which is described by Franz Zeier, for making starch paste yourself using wheat starch flour. Cellulose paste glue, which can also be used for thinning Planatol BB, is basically just our Wallpaper paste.

Attributes: Planatol AD 94/5 B is an aqueous, high viscosity dispersion glue that has many uses and which, because of its excellent adhesion, is especially effective on demanding surfaces. It becomes sticky quickly and cures to a translucent, moisture proof and flexible film that retains a slight stickiness even when completely dry.

Application: Planatol AD 94/5 B is not only good for gluing paper and cardboard but markedly smooth surfaces like aluminium foil, glass and many plastic films (acetate, cellophane, soft and rigid PVC, polystyrene foam...) as well. In addition, it works great when gluing painted and laminated surfaces to absorbent materials like paper, paperboard, cardboard, felt, fabric, leather, fibre board, foamed cellular material, fleece, etc. You can also glue PE paper photographs to cardboard, plywood or chipboard. It should not be used, however, for gluing untreated PP or PE films. This glue can be used for practically every bonding need when doing a bookbinding project.

Treatment: Planatol AD 94/5 B is machine-ready but good results can also be attained by hand application. If necessary, water can be used as a thinner. Tools can be cleaned with cold water after use. It is recommended that the product be used within six months.
