Bath Tissue and Paper Towel
Empowering tissue and towel manufacturers to deliver quality, reliability, and performance
At H.B. Fuller, we support tissue and towel manufacturers around the world to run smarter, faster, and more efficiently. Our reliable adhesive solutions are designed to keep operations consistent, so your products perform reliably, and your customers stay loyal. With global innovation and local expertise, we provide market proven formulations, standardized processes, and dependable supply to keep lines moving without interruption.
From lamination and transfer to pick-up, core winding, and tail tie, our comprehensive range of adhesives strengthens every stage of the paper converting process, enhancing product quality, optimizing line efficiency, and giving you the confidence of a partner fully invested in your success. Our adhesive portfolio supports the following adhesive applications:
Lamination Adhesives
Lamination adhesives play a critical role in achieving strong roll structure, consistent quality, and efficient tissue and towel converting. Our solutions are designed to help run faster, reduce downtime, and increase converting throughput.
KEY BENEFITS
Strong, uniform bonds
that support roll
integrity
Higher achievable
speeds with greater
process stability
Fewer build-up,
and unscheduled
stops
Potential OEE gains
of up to nearly
20%
To ensure efficient, consistent, and reliable lamination performance, proper adhesive preparation and application are essential. Our solution is an automatic dilution system:
Automatic Dilution System (ADS)
It simplifies adhesive preparation, helping manufacturers achieve consistent adhesive solids, improve line efficiency, and enhance product quality, without the challenges of manual or semi-automatic systems.
KEY BENEFITS
Consistent dilution for
precise adhesive solids
and optimal performance
Easier setup and fewer
wrap-ups, build-up,
or roller wear
Option to include
color or additive to
enhance brand image
and functionality
Continuous, automated
operation tied to run
tank control for
uninterrupted production
Cost-in-use savings
through lower applied
solids without
sacrificing quality
Pick-Up or Transfer Adhesives
These adhesives play a crucial role in tissue and towel converting by reliably attaching the sheets to the cores. Our solutions are built to deliver consistent bonding, clean application, and operational efficiency, helping you maintain uptime, reduce maintenance, and produce high-quality rolls with ease.
KEY BENEFITS
Minimizes adhesive
buildup for cleaner,
more efficient
operations
Ensures consistent
pickup strength for
reliable sheet
transfer
Compatible with
a wide range
of machine
types
Supports high-speed,
low-maintenance
performance with
minimal stringing
or staining
Tail Tie Adhesives
Tail tie adhesives are key in the converting process, sealing the final sheet at the end of the roll to ensure product integrity, presentation, and machine uptime. Our solutions deliver precise, clean, and reliable performance, supporting longer production cycles, maintaining cleaner machines, and producing tighter, high-quality rolls.
KEY BENEFITS
Maintains clean
tail zones and
reduces manual
cleanup
Performs reliably
across various tissue
grades and machine
designs
Supports smooth
winding and unwinding
for downstream
operations
Promotes higher
productivity with less
waste and improved
machine hygiene
Corewinding Adhesives
Corewinding adhesives form the foundation of every tissue and towel roll, ensuring strong bonding between plies and smooth downstream performance during converting and packaging. Our solutions are versatile, robust, and easy to run, trusted across the industry for reliable adhesion on 1-ply, 2-ply, and multi-ply cores.
KEY BENEFITS
Delivers strong,
secure bonding for
consistent roll
integrity
Supports smooth
operation across
all core winding
systems
Compatible with low
and high speed lines
and a variety of
cardstocks
Proven to enhance
overall equipment
effectiveness and
uptime
Turn-Up Adhesives
Essential to productivity on the parent-roll winding line, where precision and reliability matter most. Our turn-up solutions provide high wet tack for immediate sheet grab, combined with clean dry release to ensure smooth, efficient roll changes.
KEY BENEFITS
Ensures fast, reliable
roll changes with
minimal downtime
High wet tack for
secure sheet grab
