- Edge banding & sealing
- Profile wrapping
- Decorative lamination
- Wood assembly
Edge Banding places high demands on both adhesive performance and process reliability. Achieving durable bonds and visually flawless edges requires precise application, excellent wetting properties, and consistent performance across a variety of materials and production conditions.
TECHNOMELT® adhesives are engineered to deliver clean, durable, and virtually seamless bond lines. Offering strong initial tack, reliable heat and moisture resistance, and excellent adhesion to edge materials such as ABS, PP, PVC, melamine, and veneer, they help manufacturers achieve outstanding product quality and long-term performance. Their stable processing characteristics support efficient production and consistently high-quality results across a wide range of furniture applications.
Profile Wrapping enables manufacturers to create sophisticated designs that combine aesthetic appeal with lasting performance. From furniture components and skirting boards to interior door frames, achieving a flawless finish requires adhesive solutions that deliver both precision and reliability.
TECHNOMELT® adhesives are engineered to provide secure bonding and excellent surface quality across a broad range of decorative materials, including thermoplastic foils, CPL, paper laminates, and real wood veneer. With strong initial tack, outstanding heat and moisture resistance, and consistent processing performance, they support efficient manufacturing while helping create premium products designed to stand the test of time.
Decorative lamination is key to creating premium finishes that define modern furniture, doors, and interior fittings. From flat and 2D lamination to complex 3D shaping processes, manufacturers require adhesive solutions that combine design flexibility, reliable bonding, and lasting performance.
Henkel's portfolio includes TECHNOMELT® thermoplastic hotmelts, TECHNOMELT® reactive PUR hotmelts, and AQUENCE® water-based dispersion adhesives. Designed for bonding papers, veneers, thermoplastic foils, and HPL/CPL laminates, these solutions deliver excellent adhesion, consistent processing, and durable, high-quality surface finishes.
Assembly bonding is essential for creating strong, durable furniture constructions. From panel assembly and edge gluing to dowel insertion and structural joints, manufacturers need adhesive solutions that combine reliability, versatility, and efficient processing.
Henkel's TECHNOMELT® hotmelts and AQUENCE® water-based dispersion adhesives deliver dependable bonding across wood, wood-based panels, plastics, metals, and composite materials. They support consistent quality, efficient manufacturing, and long-term product performance in both industrial and custom furniture production.
TECHNOMELT® PUR is the first choice wherever maximum bond strength plays a decisive role — for hard-wearing furniture as well as 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.
