Corrugated box manufacturing
Flexible packaging adhesives must provide excellent clarity and bond strength, and resistance to heat, moisture and chemicals. They also must prevent the delamination that can occur when two films differ in extensibility and stretch or relax at different rates. HAR offers the full H.B. Fuller flexible packaging line and other custom formulations focusing on small to mid-sized converters and laminators.
Corner board, honeycomb buildup, and other paper converting Applications
HAR offers a full line of adhesives that give entrance, interior and garage door manufacturers a world of new production alternatives from cross-linking, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesives, to waterbased polyurethanes (PUDs) and 100% solids liquid moisture curing urethanes.
Envelope and Direct Mail
In the pressroom, the requirements span a broad spectrum, ranging from multi-page direct mail pieces to single page publication inserts, and from Sunday newspaper advertisements to corporate brochures. To meet the industry challenges, envelope converters have responded with faster speeds, higher quality, and shorter runs, requiring flexible adhesives that perform on a variety of envelope equipment and substrates.
Bookbinding, Padding & Collating
HAR formulates and supplies adhesives and primers for every bindery operation from padding to casing-in. The products we supply are used by binderies worldwide, in the manufacturing of hardcover and softcover books, magazines, catalogs, forms and various other products.

Adhesives We Offer
Water Based Adhesives
Materials or compounds that can be dissolved or dispersed in water, and these adhesives develop a bond by losing water through evaporation or penetration into the substrates..
Solvent-Based Adhesive
Solvent based products are noted for their fast bond strength development, versatile adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, good heat resistance, and ability to instantly bond.
Primers and Sealer
Our primers are water-based used as a sealer, stain-blocker and preparatory coating put on materials before painting.
Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives are 100% solid adhesives that are heated to temperatures above their melting point and applied to at least one substrate in the molten state.
Cyanoacrylates & Anaerobics
Cyanoacrylates are an acrylic resin that will rapidly polymerize in the presence of water. Anaerobics are an acrylic resin that will rapidly polymerize in the presence of air.
