Graphic Art

Adhesives play an important role in determining the longevity and appearance of graphic art over time. An understanding of adhesives is important for choosing the right graphic art adhesive and the success of the application.

Two significant considerations for graphic art applications are the nature of the bonding surface and the environmental conditions under which it is done. With several variances in surfaces, prior knowledge of how the surface reacts to adhesive application is important. Printing, cutting and lamination also impact an adhesive's performance.

Environmental factors such as temperature also influence application. How the adhesive flows across the surface of the material to which it is applied is the foundation of successful adhesion.

Adhesives are a relatively small cost item in producing graphic arts items but play an important role in the quality of a finished product.
