Cold Glues are water-based solutions. The adhesive solids are dissolved in water, usually by cooking. A bond is formed when almost all of the water is lost via penetration or absorption into substrates. To create a solid bond, it requires 2 absorbent surfaces. There are three main types of cold glue adhesives: 1. Starch-- A whiteoff-white opaque solution, usually low in solids 2. Dextrine-- Depolymerized starches, usually tan to dark brown in color (pyrolysis), which enhance solubility, increase wet tack, lower viscosity andor increase solids, and improve solution viscosity stability. 3. Polyvinyl Alcohol solutions (PVOH)-- A synthetic water soluble adhesive or intermediate, Translucent. The dry film it leaves can be water sensitive or water resistant. Advantages Excellent penetration Excellent wet tack and tack range Excellent final adhesion to regular stocks Excellent heat and cold resistance Easy to clean up with excellent machining characteristics Storage conditions not critical - freezethaw stable Low price per wet pound - raw material related Limitations Slow setting speed Poor adhesion to difficult surface Caution required when diluting Must be protected from bacterial and fungal attack
