Pritt Roller Adhesive Here at LA Office!
Are you sick and tired of asking your children how on earth they managed to get glue in their hair? Have you run out of ways to try and get those glue stains out of the sofa, off of the carpet? Arts and craft and cutting and sticking with the kids can be a messy ordeal when using ordinary PVA glue; you have glue brushes and pasters to worry about, your table tops current perfect finish to consider, your children’s clothes and then of course the spread of the sticky stuff from the fingers to just about everywhere and everything in your house. It’s no better in school in fact when you have a classroom of 30 children to watch over, now this can literally be a sticky situation and one which we all know is impossible to deal with, by the looks of their school jumpers when they come home!
One alternative of course is a glue stick, a much less messy alternative and one which is very simple to use and suitable for all ages. However even the glue stick isn’t ideal. Over time the glue stick can dry up and become completely un-usable, plus, they’re not great for gluing small, fiddly items. So where does this leave us?
A more recent idea has proven extremely popular in school, home and office settings due to its mess free ease of use and its particular strength in gluing small areas accurately. The Pritt Roller Adhesive featured to your right has become a global success and much loved stationery favourite. What’s more it even comes in both permanent and re-stickable options! Featuring;
- New compact refillable roller system

The Green Bit
Pritt are part of the Henkel brand and take environmental and social issues very seriously.The Company introduced regular ecological testing of detergents and household cleaners as long ago as 1959. In 1991, Henkel was one of the first companies to sign the Business Charter for Sustainable Development of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
The principles of sustainability and corporate social responsibility are taken into consideration from the outset in their research projects and product development. The Pritt Stick shows how Henkel replaced mineral oil based raw materials by suitable renewable raw materials at an early stage. In 1991, Henkel started to develop alternatives to a variety of raw materials. The prospect of finding a substitute raw material that would reduce dependence on mineral oil based polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was also economically interesting, as the great demand for PVP was met by just a few suppliers. The quality of the glue stick produced with an alternative raw material had to be at least equal to that of the existing product. This is when starch was discovered as the potential alternative raw material, as it has good adhesive properties when it is appropriately chemically modified. After a development period and a test phase of two years, consumer tests were successfully concluded and the first generation of the starch-based Pritt Stick was produced. In 2000, PVP was finally completely replaced. Worldwide, Henkel is the only supplier of starch-based glue sticks.
