The adhesive behind Rollataq
Rollataq is the Daige adhesive system, introduced to the UK by Pluss in 1994. Whichever Rollataq machine you use, the results depend on the adhesive. It is a cold, water-soluble EVA adhesive applied as a clear, micro-thin coat, and it is the reason Rollataq is trusted in medical illustration, photography and framing.
Why the adhesive matters
- Cold application. No heat, so it is kind to heat-sensitive prints and photographs.
- Repositionable for up to about three minutes. Time to get the alignment right.
- Burnish for a permanent bond. It dries permanent in around 15 minutes.
- Waterproof when dry.
- Odourless and non-toxic. Comfortable to use in shared offices and studios.
- Acid-free and non-yellowing. Unaffected by heat, humidity and ageing.
- Easy to clean. Water-soluble before it dries.

Looking after your machine
Good habits keep a Rollataq running cleanly and consistently. As general advice:
- Keep adhesive sealed when not in use so it stays in good condition.
- Clean rollers and applicators while the adhesive is still wet; being water-soluble, it is far easier to remove before it dries.
- On high production labelling systems, follow the monthly cleaning routine.
- Store adhesive in a stable environment, away from frost and direct heat.
- Reorder before you run out, so a busy week does not catch you short.
Our guide to using Rollataq has more practical tips.
Desktop Rollataq models use a factory-set roller gap that keeps adhesive off the image side, so you get a clean face every time.
