LBS offers an array of adhesive options, each suited to specific manufacturing processes and materials:

• Dextrin-Based Adhesives: Known for their fast tack and high solids content, dextrin adhesives are widely used in case making and general bookbinding applications. They offer excellent adhesion to paper, board, and cloth.
