A PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) bound book is similar to that of a Perfect bound book in appearance. However, it will provide upwards of four times the strength of a Perfect Bound book. It is processed hot and hardens by cooling. The bond is then impervious to heat.
PUR adhesive binding is a particularly high-quality method that is ideal for high-use products such as catalogues, report and accounts, novels, telephone directories and difficult types of paper stocks. The finished product is able to lay flat when opened, as the glue when dried remains flexible.
PUR is unique in that it will bond to lacquer, laminate and UV-cured coatings as well as standard paper stocks.
