PAPER HONEYCOMB GUM

Introduction to Paper Honeycomb Gum:

Paper Honeycomb Gum is a specially formulated adhesive used in the manufacturing of paper honeycomb panels. These panels are made by expanding kraft paper into a honeycomb-like structure and bonding it with paper liners or boards. The gum (adhesive) plays a crucial role in holding the structure together, providing strength, durability, and uniform bonding.

Typically, this gum is starch-based (often modified starch or dextrin) and may be enhanced with additives to improve tack, bonding strength, water resistance, and drying time. It is applied during the panel production process to adhere the honeycomb core to the face papers or liners.

Advantages of Paper Honeycomb Gum:

Strong Bonding Strength:

Ensures a firm and durable bond between the honeycomb core and outer liners.

Eco-Friendly:

Usually water-based and biodegradable (especially if starch-based), making it sustainable and non-toxic.

Cost-Effective:

Offers a low-cost  adhesive solution suitable for large-scale production.

Lightweight Construction Support:

Enables  the creation of lightweight yet strong paper honeycomb panels.

Customizable Properties:

Formulations can be tailored for quick drying, moisture resistance, or increased tack depending on application needs.

Easy Application:

Can be applied with standard roll coaters or spraying systems used in honeycomb panel lines.

Improved Production Efficiency:

Fast setting and good workability help in speeding up manufacturing processes.
