GF#5 is a water-based dextrin adhesive formulated for efficient and reliable labeling applications. It's ideal for manual label gluers and delivers dependable performance on a wide variety of surfaces.
Use GF#5 for labeling plain paper, kraft stock, corrugated cartons, wood, and even some non-porous materials like treated polyethylene and polypropylene. It’s also excellent for use with carbon/NCR paper and barcode labels. GF#5 is safe for use on goldenrod stock without discoloration.
For electric label gluers, we recommend GF#5TT, a modified version of this adhesive with added antifoam agents to enhance performance in automated systems.
Note: GF#5 is available in 1 gallon, 2 gallons, 4-gallon case, 5-gallon pail, and 55-gallon drum sizes. Orders of 3 gallons aren't offered due to shipping constraints that increase costs.
