Howarine Padset Padding Glue is used for the production of general purpose pads
Padset is a thick white PVA adhesive with a reputation for reliability and economy. Over the last 20 years it has been Europe’s biggest selling general purpose adhesive, and continues to be so.
For extra fast drying the we recommend Howarine Dryflex which is an extra fast drying adhesive, that when dry, allows the padded spine complete flexibility to fold back on itself. This product overcomes the problems many of our customers have experienced with competitors padding compounds, which crack particularly when atmospheric changes occur.
