If You Run Corrugators,
You Know These Headaches.
We've heard them thousands of times. Our formulations are built around eliminating them — not just managing them.
Pump Blockages & Line Stoppages
Generic gum powders gel under heat and clog nozzles mid-run. Every stoppage costs 45–90 minutes of production time.
Delamination in High Humidity
Coastal and monsoon-season plants see bond failures when ambient humidity exceeds 70%. Rejections spike and clients complain.
Cracking in Hot, Dry Climates
In Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Middle East operations — summer heat causes board cracking before it even leaves the line.
Viscosity Drift at Speed
At 250–300 MPM, even slight viscosity inconsistency causes uneven glue distribution. BCT scores suffer and clients reject shipments.
High Gum Consumption Per MT
If you're applying 18–22 kg/MT, your formulation is underperforming. Every extra kilogram is margin lost.
Caustic Handling & Safety Risks
Plants running caustic-based gum face OSHA compliance gaps, worker safety incidents, and chemical storage costs.
How Shalbond Solves Each One
Pump clogging & line stoppages
Gum gels at 60–70°C in glue pots
Humidity-induced delamination
Bond fails in >70% RH environments
Board cracking in hot/dry weather
Brittle bonds when temp exceeds 38°C
High gum consumption
18–22 kg/MT eating into your margins
Caustic handling risk
OSHA gaps, worker safety incidents
Anti-gel, clog-free formulation
Stable viscosity up to 300 MPM; nozzle-safe powder chemistry
Quick Drying Agent (High Humidity)
Purpose-built additive for coastal & monsoon plants — holds bond in >85% RH
Anti-Cracking Agent (Hot/Dry)
Flexible film former prevents brittle bonds in arid/summer conditions
High-solids formulations
Lower dosage required: 13–15 kg/MT typical vs 18–22 with generics
Full Caustic-Free range
Neutral gum powders with identical bond strength — zero chemical handling risk
Formulations for Every
Corrugation Setup
Each product is matched to a specific machine type, process condition, or climate need — not sold as a one-size-fits-all commodity.
Gum Powder – Auto Plant (With Caustic)
Engineered for fully automatic corrugators with caustic activation. Stable viscosity at high throughput, fast film formation, superior kraft adhesion.
Gum Powder – Auto Plant (Caustic Free)
Zero caustic. Equal bond strength. For plants seeking OSHA compliance without sacrificing machine speed or adhesion performance.
Pasting Gum Powder – Semi-Auto Plant
Optimised for semi-automatic pasting. Consistent dissolution, even spread, and strong green tack for reliable bonding across all kraft grades.
Corrugation Gum Powder – Semi-Auto Plant
Tuned for corrugating medium bonding in semi-auto setups. Precise penetration depth, fast board release without warping.
Neutral Pasting Gum Powder (Caustic-Free)
Neutral pH formulation for pasting operations. Handles all paper grades including recycled fibre without corrosive chemistry.
Neutral Corrugation Gum Powder (Caustic-Free)
High-performance caustic-free corrugating adhesive. Maintains bond integrity under temperature and humidity variation. Preferred for food-grade box manufacturers.
Flute Laminator Gum Powder
Engineered for high-speed single-facer and laminator applications. Precise gelatinisation temperature, strong flute tip adhesion, fast bond under roller pressure.
Paper Core & Tube Gum Powder
Formulated for spiral and parallel-wound paper cores and tubes. High solids content, strong mandrel release, suitable for jumbo roll cores and textile tubes.
Quick Drying Agent
Add-on accelerator for coastal plants and monsoon seasons. Cuts drying time by up to 30% — prevents inter-ply delamination before stacking.
Anti-Cracking Agent
Prevents board cracking and brittle bond failure in hot-dry climates. Flexible film former maintains ductility when ambient temp exceeds 38°C.
