Foam-Bonding

Comfortable seating and furniture are often the product of an elaborate production process. Make it stick – with our adhesive raw materials for the manufacturing of mattresses, upholstery and office furniture.

Gluing upholstery foam to various carrier materials requires special adhesives. Once applied, the adhesive must not penetrate the open-pored material. That’s why the foam-bonding dispersion coagulates while being sprayed onto the respective surface.

Specialized adhesive polymers are used in the production of seating, sofas and office furniture. These foam and upholstery adhesives exhibit high levels of fast-acting wet strength. They must also be able to quickly absorb great tension and form a soft, unnoticeable glue line. In this way, they ensure high productivity, fast processing and easy handling.

Highlight products

Acronal® 3710

Acronal® 3710 is a blending component, especially suitable for the manufacture of one or two component aqueous foam adhesives for mattresses and upholstery in combination with Polychloroprene- or Polyurethane dispersions, e.g. Luphen® D DS 3548.

Luphen® D DS 3548

Luphen® D DS 3548 is a 45% aqueous dispersion of a partly aromatic polyesterpolyurethane elastomer. The formed film can be activated by heat at 60-65 °C enabling the manufacture of heatsealing adhesives. Luphen® D DS 3548 has a prolonged hot-tack life.

Acronal® 5400

Acronal® 5400 is a dispersion of a styrene acrylic copolymer for cementitious, flexible waterproofing membranes (in- & outdoor) beneath tiles with good crack-bridging properties.

Sustainability meets Adhesives

Safe and sustainable chemicals are key to reducing emissions and enabling circularity. The adhesive industry needs to move quickly, due to a rising number of upcoming regulations emanating from the European Green Deal. BASF can help you navigate these dynamics – with its adhesive chemistry, application, and regulations expertise.
