Process optimization, higher performance, higher mileage, and usage of renewable carbon-based raw materials – these proof points reflect the contribution of our adhesives to topics such as sustainability, resource conservation and material efficiency.
Our adhesives ensure that as many pieces of furniture as possible can be made from the most valuable raw material: wood.
The furniture industry is constantly adapting to an ever-increasing demand for greater operational safety, more sustainable materials, and compliance with stricter regulations, like REACH Annex XVII. Henkel's range of Micro Emission PUR hotmelt adhesives helps furniture manufacturers improve productivity, efficiency, and safety.
- Furniture
- Interior doors
- Decorative panels
- Flooring
Adhesives play an integral role in the manufacture of furniture of all types - for residential, office, and industrial settings as well as partition walls and other furniture parts. Our broad adhesive solutions cover all important applications such as decorative lamination, edge banding, profile wrapping, assembly and wood bonding.
Our comprehensive range of products cover the production of both the door leaf and the door frame. Be it postforming, softforming or profile wrapping, flat, 2D or 3D lamination, we provide the adhesives you need. Adapted to the latest machines and production processes.
Decorative panels for wall and ceiling decoration have a major influence on the design of our interiors. This is reflected in the variety of surfaces: from natural wood veneers to polymer substrates, almost all materials are represented. We ensure that they are bonded securely.
Multi-layer parquet flooring, modular flooring, LVT, SPC, laminate flooring, industrial flooring and ceramic floor tiles. Here too, the variety is enormous. There are also skirting profiles and materials for sound insulation. This variety requires a wide selection of adhesive technologies which we offer with our TECHNOMELT® and AQUENCE® product solutions.
- Edge banding & sealing
- Profile wrapping
- Decorative lamination
- Wood assembly
Edge banding is a multifaceted application that demands accuracy and precision in adhesive application and/or pressure of the rollers. Panel material, room temperature, and workpiece temperature play important roles in edge banding. Edge sealing provides protection against moisture and steam and enables a smooth surface for subsequent wrapping.
Wrapped profiles are used in the manufacture of furniture elements, skirting boards and interior door frames. Our adhesive solutions are designed to work with complex profiles and components that require high moisture resistance. They can be applied by nozzle or roller.
The finishing of wood-based panels plays a major role in the design of furniture, decorative panels and door panels. The variety of materials and the multitude of possible applications - such as flat, 2D or 3D lamination - require a wide selection of traditional and innovative adhesive technologies.
The assembly gluing of wood and other materials can be found as a process in a wide variety of forms and for a wide variety of products, e.g. for the production of solid wood panels or in the production of honeycomb panels. Wood assembly applications include edge gluing, dowel insertion, miter gluing, tongue and groove joints, and finger jointing.
TECHNOMELT® PUR is the first choice whenever maximum bond strength plays a decisive role - for hard-wearing furniture as well as for elements for indoor or exterior use. Bondings are resistant against humidity, heat/cold, oil and many solvents. TECHNOMELT® PUR is the right choice when quality is of essential importance.
AQUENCE® emulsions, or dispersion glues, are based on different polymers (PVA, EVA, PUD). They are used for a range of applications from flat lamination over wood assembly to 3D thermoforming.
