In the paper industry, there is a dangerous myth: that adhesive is a mere commodity to be purchased at the lowest price and poured into the machine. Many manufacturers rely on “universal” products that perform excellently under laboratory conditions. However, as soon as real-world production variables shift—such as changes in paper quality, fluctuating humidity in the facility, or increased line speeds—these solutions often fail.
At TOPCORE, we believe that the purchase of the adhesive should not be the end of our cooperation, but rather the beginning. Our technical service is designed to eliminate downtime and maximize your line’s efficiency.
1. Formulations That Adapt to Your Paper
Every production plant is unique. Paper from different suppliers varies in absorbency, surface energy, and pH levels, which fundamentally alters the behavior of dextrin. Therefore, in our laboratory—utilizing our own R&D facilities supported by EU funds—we fine-tune formulations tailored to specific samples of your materials.
- Custom Tuning: We adjust viscosity, solids content, and open time (tack) to ensure the adhesive matches your technology perfectly.
- Chemical Innovation: We continuously develop new types of elastic and eco-friendly adhesives that replace synthetic alternatives such as PVAc or PVOH.
- Useful Link: Explore our complete range of liquid and powder adhesives.
2. A Technologist at Your Machine, Not in an Office
Our roots lie in mechanics and engineering. If you encounter issues in production, such as tube delamination or low honeycomb strength, we don’t just send email advice. Our experts are ready to visit your production site directly.
We assist with setting application rates and optimizing the mechanical parameters of your line. Our goal is to find the ideal balance—the moment where the line runs at maximum possible speed while maintaining 100% bond quality.
Case Study: For one of our partners in paper honeycomb production, intensive on-site machine tuning allowed us to accelerate the production cycle by more than 20%. The key was not just the adhesive itself, but the synergy between the laboratory, the correct application station settings, and operator training on how to work optimally with our product.
3. Final Product Quality and Cost Optimization
Proper technical service and machine setup have a direct impact on your profitability and reputation:
- Bond Quality: Correct moisture levels and strength (flat crush, radial crush) determine your product’s success with the end customer.
- Resource Savings: Our technologies enable up to 70% water savings and significantly reduce energy consumption during the subsequent drying process.
- Sustainability: By transitioning to our borax-free formulations, you meet the strictest environmental standards without sacrificing performance.
- Useful Link: Calculate your real costs in our Adhesive Cost Calculator.
4. Comprehensive Support from R&D to Daily Logistics
TOPCORE service encompasses everything from initial laboratory testing and smooth production onboarding to ongoing consultancy. We are not just suppliers; we are your external development department, helping you stay ahead of the competition.
