Increasingly,
book projects such as catalogs, directories, user manuals and
marketing materials are making use of highly-calendared coated
stocks, heavy ink coverage and thick UV and aqueous coatings.
From a printing standpoint, these projects look fantastic. But
they require a binding adhesive that’s up to the challenge.
Enter
PUR, which stands for Polyurethane Reactive. This is the strongest
binding adhesive available, and a must for books with these characteristics.
At Finish Line Binderies, we perform PUR binding on a daily basis,
so we’re well aware of the advantages it can offer your most
important projects:
Maximum
pull strength — The page pull strength of a PUR-bound book
is more than 2½ times that of a standard perfect-bound
book using EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) adhesive.
Greater
design freedom — Get creative with your books by adding foldouts
and index tabs, which also add to the user-friendliness of your
books.
Impervious
to temperatures — Once it has cured, PUR remains stable in
temperatures ranging from -40ºF to over 140ºF. That
means PUR-bound books can be used in the toughest climates —
from the hottest Texas heat to Canadian winters — without
unwanted remelting or cold cracking.
