With Britain having recently left the EU, there could be some big changes ahead for UK businesses who use solvented adhesives as part of their manufacturing processes – so it now seems like the ideal time to use this as an opportunity to review your current work environment and make the necessary changes  to maximise productivity and product quality by making the switch to less hazardous adhesives.making the switch

Chemique Adhesives has for many years been pioneering water-based technology in terms of adhesives and application equipment and continually strives to grow the business in areas which lend themselves to water-based technology. 

Stuart Francis, Managing Director of Chemique Adhesives comments, “Over the past 30 years we have made progressive strides towards eliminating hazardous solvents from the workplace by replacing these with our state-of-the-art water based adhesive systems.  Our reputation in the UK foam and furniture market is second to none and chances are that the sofa or mattress in your home will contain adhesives from Chemique”.

This year Chemique Adhesives will be adding several new water-based and hot melt adhesives to its existing range which are ideally suited to the foam and furniture industry. These adhesives offer a solution to traditional solvent based types that have both environmental and safety shortcomings. Not only this but the new water-based polymer systems will also be suitable for other markets, giving them the chance to go hazard-free including manufacturers of scouring pads and insulated panel lamination, where in the past only solvent or polyurethane systems would work.

If environmental and safety concerns along with product quality and profitability are key issues for your company, now could well be the time to find out more about switching to solvent-free bonding! And don't forget that expert support is readily available, not only to help you choose the right product, but to also assist you in making the switch with minimal disruption whilst optimising your bonding systems and practices.
