DULUTH, Georgia - September 5, 2007 – Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) delivers adhesive application and detection systems to help produce consistent, high-quality perfect bound books.  A full range of products are flexible enough to meet changing paper stock and adhesive requirements for spine and side gluing applications for short- or full-run binding jobs.  Nordson systems are capable of the large runs needed by commercial printers, flexible enough for shorter runs and multiple changeovers of trade binders, and automated to serve digital printers.

The diverse product line can accommodate ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyurethane (PUR) hot melt adhesives as well as cold glues.  Contact or non-contact adhesive applicating guns provide precise, consistent adhesive dispensing and clean cutoff.  Open or closed application systems are available to suit specific production environments.

The Nordson EP48 V or EP48 VL spine glue system is a closed system ideally-suited for use with PUR adhesives.  The capability to use PUR allows application of a thinner spine coating with good durability and flexibility.  This means books will lie flatter, last longer and look better.  From a production standpoint, using a closed EP48 V system versus an open wheel pot means productivity improvement of quicker startup and shutdown as well as reduced maintenance.

Nordson has a vast array of side glue systems to accommodate EVA, PUR or pressure sensitive adhesives.  Whether electric or pneumatic, or contact or non-contact, Nordson adhesive dispensing guns deliver precise placement and bead size with clean cutoff.  Easy-adjust bracketry provides for accurate placement and quick changeovers.

The Nordson equipment easily integrates on a variety of single and multi-clamp bookbinding machines.  And, Nordson operates a worldwide network of direct operations and partnerships to answer questions and support your operations before, during and after the sale.
