- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
- Dextrin adhesive glue is a liquid glue made by cooking starch to 200°F in water, which forms a solution that can be modified for tack, open time, and various other properties.
- Dextrin adhesives provide clean machining and excellent bonding properties to cellulosic materials, such as paper and paperboard. They exhibit high wet tack, are light straw to amber in appearance and are typically cost effective.
