BOOKBINDING PVA ADHESIVE

This new Bookbinding PVA is a ‘general’ all-purpose bookbinding and leather PVA adhesive, suitable for use on leather, cloth, paper, board, and wood. It may be used for a variety of packaging, bookbinding and leathercraft applications either by machine or by hand. It is also suitable for Conservation Work as the dried adhesive film delaminates in the presence of water. However, as conservation methods can be varied and needs differ, we recommend that the customer test this product against their specific conservation requirements.

This bookbinding PVA is strong, non-toxic, water-soluble, dries clear, and remains flexible, making it the perfect adhesive for bookmaking, where flexibility and longevity are key.

When mixed with Methyl Cellulose, PVA takes on different consistencies and achieves longer drying times. Longer drying times allow for the repositioning of materials before they’re locked in place.
