Industry Applications:
Woodworking
Adhesives are a great addition to woodworking in general, offering stronger, more durable bonds with a wide variety of substrates across many areas of woodworking, from all types of joinery to specific applications like edge banding and veneer lamination.
The incorporation of adhesives to traditional methods of wood joining like dowels is a fantastic addition, creating far stronger joints than dowels alone, due to increased contact and strength within the joint.
Features like edge banding and lamination rely heavily on adhesives, specially formulated to allow for clean bonding of large surface areas and repositioning where necessary.
Many types of joinery and flooring also benefit from the use of adhesives in reducing noise and creaking to create a superior finish.
Overall, modern glues create a superior product in terms of both function and appearance, whilst also being fast and easy to apply.

Coffin Fabrication
Aesthetics and secure bonding are of utmost importance in coffin making.
Adhesives excel here, creating strong and reliable bonds with wood, cardboard, wicker, metal, and more. The smooth and seamless, high quality finish created by modern glues is a distinct advantage to an industry where appearance means so much to the customer.
Adhesives assist in the filling of knot holes and bonding of trims, mitre joints, end strips, edgebanding, and fabric linings. With a range of application methods to cater for small and large surface areas, modern glues are fast and easy to apply for efficient manufacturing processes.

Doors
Adhesives are a must in the modern door manufacturing industry, used at various stages in the process, including assembly, veneer lamination, edge banding, membrane pressing and profile wrapping.
Bond strength and durability are of great importance in door construction, not only because of high use and security concerns, but also for weather resistance and aesthetic appeal.
The options in terms of adhesives are many, depending on whether you’re bonding solid wood, chipboard, MDF, vinyl or composite. Composites in particular present a challenge due to the assortment of materials they are made from – finding an adhesive that performs well, while not impossible, can be difficult without a deep understanding of adhesives available.

Joinery
Adhesives are an important part of joinery manufacturing, whether it be fixing solid surface materials, laminating, applying wood veneers, or buildups. Selecting the right adhesive in this dynamic industry is important to stay competitive.
Modern adhesives offer a formulation and application method to suit almost any application, but selecting the right adhesive may be more challenging than first appears.
Consult with our knowledgeable team to identify the best solution for your business to ensure high quality products, streamlined manufacturing processes, fast production times, and optimised profit margins.
Edge Banding
Selecting the correct adhesive for edge banding is important to ensure the best possible result both in terms of function and appearance.
The right adhesive will not only form a strong, durable bond that won’t start peeling away over time, it will also continue to perform well despite exposure to heat and humidity.
Well adhered edge bands are an important factor in creating the high quality finish demanded in today’s marketplace, thus adhesives play a fundamental role in increasing perceived value of the end product.

Furniture
Much like the bedding industry, furniture making places high demands on adhesives, with a number of important functionalities required.
Not only must adhesives bond with a wide range of fabrics, foams, wood, metals, and plastics, they must not soak too deeply into materials to prevent bonding. They must have a high degree of flexibility for use with fabrics and flexible surfaces, maintaining permanent elasticity to allow movement with the substrates.
Furniture glues must be capable of creating holding force immediately on application, and support structural integrity to ensure that furniture is not only functional, but also complies with safety regulations. Modern consumers are becoming more savvy and increasingly aware of sustainability, so environmentally friendly products are becoming more and more important in this industry.
The ease and speed of application of adhesives, combined with precise application and reduced waste allows for streamlining of manufacturing and reduced costs.
Invisible glue and the versatile scope of modern adhesives plays an important role in increasing design options which is so relevant to this aesthetics focused industry.

Postforming
Postforming presents the need for a particular set of features in adhesives.
Postforming adhesives must first and foremost be flexible enough and strong enough to curve with the substrates and maintain a bond in this new alignment. They must also be heat resistant to perform under the high temperatures formed during lamination processes.
Postforming adhesives are available in sprayable forms and in a range of open times in order to allow for coverage of large surface areas. They also provide chemical and moisture resistance to cater to kitchen and bathroom applications.
Shop Fitting
Due to the varied nature of work involved in shop fitting, adhesives are required to fulfil a number of tasks and functions. No matter the project, adhesives have a lot to offer.
Whether you are fitting panels, flooring, display units, fabrics, or furniture, there’s an adhesive for the job. Modern glues offer superior bonding capability across a wide range of substrates, adding structural strength where required, offering durability in high footfall locations, and creating seamless aesthetics. The right adhesives allow you greater flexibility in organising the space, materials that can be incorporated, and the opportunity to add custom design features.
Fast and easy to apply, adhesives support you when working to tight deadlines, reduce the need for mechanical fixings, and reduce the need for skilled labour. You supply a superior service whilst also reducing costs, resulting in better profit margins all round.

Stair Fabrication
Adhesives are a fantastic addition to stair fabrication, doing away with loose nails that plague feet! Not only do adhesives result in a cleaner aesthetic, they also offer the strength of bond required for this important, high footfall home feature.
A great option for fixing treads, handrails, newel posts, and spindles, not to mention attaching stair coverings evenly for noise dampening and aesthetic purposes. Adhesives are faster and easier to apply than nails and screws, resulting in an improved end product, greatly appreciated by the end user.
Wood Lamination
Wood lamination has become increasingly popular in the marketplace due to the increased choice available in aesthetic finishes.
Adhesives used in this industry have a particular set of requirements, in order to enable an even coat across potentially large surface areas with enough open time for repositioning if necessary.
Maintaining a competitive edge has become more important to businesses in this field due to cheap competition from abroad, requiring more emphasis on finding the right adhesive application method, fast production speed, streamlined manufacturing, and reducing costs.
