D-COL

Dry industrial adhesive

Reduces production costs — not just bonds

Shipped in dry form. Mixed with water on-site in 1 hour. 1 kg dry adhesive yields up to 2 kg ready-to-use.

Why it's more cost-efficient

Four reasons to switch to D-COL

Stop shipping water

Ready-made PVA is 40–60% water you pay to transport. D-COL ships dry — you pay only for the adhesive.

Less warehouse space

D-COL takes 50–60% less floor space vs PVA/PVS. Fewer racks, fewer containers, less footprint.

No heated storage

PVA requires heated storage and refrigerated transport in winter. D-COL stores in standard conditions year-round.

Ready in 1 hour

Mix exactly what you need per shift. No complex infrastructure, no leftovers — just the right amount today.

D-COL vs PVA / PVS

Side-by-side comparison

Interactive compare slider — planned for next development phase

PVA / PVS — conventional adhesive

  • Logistics Water content shipped — expensive
  • Storage Heated warehouse required
  • Winter Refrigerated transport needed
  • Warehouse area Standard footprint
  • Packaging Containers accumulate, require disposal

D-COL — dextrin adhesive

  • Logistics Dry shipment — pay only for adhesive
  • Storage Standard conditions, no heating
  • Winter No refrigeration required
  • Warehouse area 40–50% less space needed
  • Packaging Multi-layer bags — minimal waste

Key advantage

1 kg dry D-COL yields up to 2 kg ready adhesive

By adding water on-site, you significantly increase the usable volume of adhesive from the same quantity of purchased material.

How to use

Three steps to ready adhesive

01

Pour in

Measure the required volume of dry D-COL for the shift. No leftovers — only what you need today.

02

Add water

DL65: 1:0.7 ratio. DL50: 1:1 ratio. Mix with a standard stirrer until homogeneous.

03

Ready to use

After ~1 hour you have ready adhesive in the required volume. No complex infrastructure.
