Main Application

A wide range of these adhesives are formulated at different concentrations, viscosities and drying time to meet customer requirements and nature of the wood used.

• A generous coat of adhesive is applied to one of the surfaces after cleaning both surfaces carefully, before joining both surfaces together with light pressure using weights or clamps until the maximum bond strength is achieved within 24 hours depending on the grade of adhesive used.

Main Application

Those adhesives are specifically used in the shoe industry for bonding different types of plastic soles to different types of artificial leather uppers.

• The sole and the upper surfaces should be properly cleaned from oil, dust or other contaminations using a special cleaning solvent.
• Proper cleaning of the surfaces is very important for obtaining good bonding.
• The adhesive is applied on both surfaces and left to dry completely before both surfaces are heated in special ovens to (60-85)*C and then pressed together under special presses used by shoe manufactures.
