GF#5 is water based dextrin glue for labeling applications.
GF#5 is ideally suited for use in manual label gluers for labeling plain paper, Kraft, corrugated cartons, wood, and some glass. It may adhere labels to treated polyethylene and polypropylene. (GF5TT liquid glue has additional antifoam solution and is recommended for use in electric label gluers.)
We are on the west coast and do not experience freeze during the winter months here. Our glue is always fresh and has about a year long shelf life.
