Professional Bookbinding PVA Glue

Our PVA glue is professionally used by bookbinders and designed for high quality bookbinding work. It dries clear, does not cause discolouration, and provides a strong and reliable bond for traditional bookbinding.

Our PVA glue is 100 percent pure with no starch added. Starch can make PVA brittle over time, which may weaken the durability of a book. Our glue has also been neutralised to pH7, helping prevent paper yellowing and supporting the long term preservation of books.

This adhesive is acid free and suitable for conservation friendly bookbinding work, making it ideal for professional binders, restoration projects, and long lasting handmade books.
