TUBE & CORE WINDING ADHESIVES THAT
HOLD FROM FIRST TURN TO LAST

Variations in paper tension, temperature, or humidity can make adhesives string, splatter, or set too soon. When that happens, ply separation, core crush, or uneven winding slows down your line and increases scrap.

Capital’s tube winding adhesives are engineered for precision control. 

Each formula balances viscosity, tack, and solids to create uniform fiber-to-fiber bonds across kraft, chip, and specialty liners. Whether you produce carpet cores or label rolls, our adhesives keep every ply tight and every cut clean.

Our water-based products run smoothly on spiral and convolute winders, resist buildup, and hold strength through trimming and handling. Plus, every batch is made to order, ISO-certified, and shipped quickly, so your line keeps moving without interruption.

If you need tubes that stay round, pull cleanly, and run without rework, this is where it starts.

COMMON TUBE WINDING ADHESIVE ISSUES

FORMULATED TO REMEDY
ANY ADHESIVE ISSUE

When adhesive problems appear, operators see it first — delamination on the line, build-up at the cutter, or failed QC tests. Capital’s formulations are designed to eliminate those issues so you keep your production steady and scrap low

Ply Delamination

Cores fall apart or layers separate after winding. Our adhesives provide strong wet tack to hold each ply firmly in place while curing.

QC Test Failure

Tubes that fail crush or water resistance tests cause rework. Our range of chemistries strengthens cores and boosts water resistance for better soak-test performance.

Cutter Build-Up

Constant cleanup of dried adhesive slows you down. Our products cure before the cutter, reducing buildup and extending blade life.

TUBE WINDING OEMS

OEM TESTED. OPERATOR APPROVED.

Our adhesives are designed to perform on leading tube and core winding machines. Whether you’re running new models or older units, you’ll get clean, consistent performance without major adjustments.
