<p>Paper sacks are indispensable to many industries. Take a look at any construction site, warehouse or large shop and you will find them. Paper sacks can contain many different bulk items: from cement to sand to fodder. This obviously means that the sack itself has to be solid. Biodegradable adhesives can make all the difference here. But as a bag manufacturer, how do you choose the right paper sack adhesive? Biodegradable adhesives are a great option. Not only does eco-friendly paper sack glue help you comply with your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), there are many more advantages. Find out in this article.</p>
<h2><strong>What types of paper sack glue exist? </strong></h2>
<p>Many different types of glue exist and they are fit for different purposes. The <a href="https://www.novidon.com/en-us/product-finder/adhesives/">adhesive</a> needs to meet the highest product requirements and also has to fulfill the sustainability requirements. There is a wide variety among paper sack glues. These can be categorized as either natural glues or synthetic glues. The latter include adhesives based on thermoplastics, elastomers and emulsions. Natural adhesives include glues that are based on tapioca, wheat, corn and potato. They are usually water based. These natural glues are recommended because they are often biodegradable and a more sustainable option. </p>
<h2><strong>Advantages of natural starch-based glues</strong></h2>
<p>Potatoes are one of the best sustainable ingredients for glue. Starch has natural binding qualities. This makes it the ideal basis for paper sack adhesives. One such natural starch-based glue is <a href="https://www.novidon.com/en-us/product-finder/adhesives/novinexx-cpb-paper-sack-glue/">Novinexx CPB</a>. Some important advantages on performance and convenience level are: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No paper penetration</strong>, resulting in a lower number of rejects.</li>
<li><strong>Low splashing behavior</strong>, so sacks are opening as intended. Another benefit of low splashing behavior is less cleaning time which results in a decreased downtime.</li>
<li><strong>Less adhesive required</strong> because of high-performance ingredients. The costs in use per sack are lower.</li>
<li><strong>Shorter setting time, </strong>resulting in sacks ready to press and ship after 24-36 hours and saving on warehouse costs.  </li>
<li><strong>Easy to handle powder and ready to use mix, </strong>which saves time at the glue kitchen.</li>
</ul>
<p>In terms of sustainability there are two distinctive advantages compared to conventional glues in the market:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Readily biodegradable, </strong>which contributes to bio-based, recyclable, compostable paper sacks.</li>
<li><strong>Lower carbon footprint</strong>, so it reduces the environmental impact of the paper sack and has a lower climate impact.  </li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Differences between paper sack and paper bag adhesives</strong></h2>
<p>Paper bags and paper sacks: textually they might seem similar, but in reality these two products are quite different. They are used for separate purposes and therefore require a special type of biodegradable adhesive.</p>
<h3><strong>Paper bag adhesives: solid and reusable </strong></h3>
<p>Paper bags are most often used in retail and the food industry, like the fast-food paper bags, block bottom bags, SOS bags, kraft paper bags and carrier paper bags. Plastic bags are no longer the rule with the current environmental legislation. Paper bags need very strong bottoms which should not easily fall out and the bag needs to be reused. This requires extra strong glue. <a href="https://www.novidon.com/en-us/product-finder/adhesives/novinexx-p130-paper-bag-glue/">Novinexx P130</a> is a specially designed biodegradable paper bag adhesive with similar to better strength as alternatives based on PVA/EVA. This high viscosity bottom paste has thixotropic behavior, which means a good and stable flow to line. Because of the short chain length, it is suitable for speeds of &gt;600 bags/minute. It is a readily biodegradable adhesive, has a lower carbon footprint and no PVA, EVA, acryl or biocides are added. This makes it a very sustainable glue.</p>
