Chemique Adhesives offers one and two-component Solfre solutions that provide reliable bond strength, controlled open times, and cure rates for a variety of applications.
Strong Bonding Adhesives for Panel Manufacturing
The Solfre laminating adhesives provide a range of advantages, including superior bond strength and excellent chemical resistance. They are suitable for manual and automatic application methods and can be applied to a range of substrates, including honeycomb, wood, plastic, insulation materials, and metal. The grades can be tailored to specific panel construction, providing flexibility through to rigid bond lines.
PU Adhesives for Composite and Acoustic Panels
Solfre adhesives are suitable for applications like showrooms, hospitals, offices, and prefabricated housing units. They are also applicable for SIP panels, architectural panels, cladding, brick slips, specialist composite/acoustic panels, insulation, timber and uPVC, composite and fire doors. In addition, Solfre adhesives ensure long-lasting bonds in commercial vehicles and truck panels, as well as motorhomes and caravans. Finally, the adhesion properties of Solfre enable users to achieve results in acoustic and parquet flooring installations.
One-Component Polyurethane Adhesives for Panel Bonding
Solfre 1 is a range of one-component polyurethane (PU) adhesives with a formulation that offers resistance to humidity, chemicals, heat, and thermal shock. It is suitable for a variety of applications such as composite panels, caravan/motorhome panels, construction, SIP panels, brick slips, and truck building.
Adhesives in the Solfre 1 range can be applied either manually or automatically by rolling, beading, or spraying, complementing a wide variety of production methods and requirements.
Solfre 2 Two-Component Polyurethane Adhesive Applications
Solfre 2 is a range of two-component polyurethane adhesives that provide a mix of polyol and isocyanate to establish a strong bond.
Available in both filled and unfilled grades, Solfre two-component PU laminating adhesives are suitable for various panel manufacturing processes, including truck panels, modular buildings, insulation, brick slips, caravans/motorhomes, and wall cladding.
The adhesives in the Solfre 2 portfolio can be applied either manually or automatically by spraying, rolling, and beading, complementing a range of production methods and requirements.
Benefits of Solfre Adhesives for Fire Doors and uPVC
The Solfre 2 two-part polyurethane honeycomb adhesive has been formulated for manufacturing honeycomb panels and composite products. It ensures that the two substrates are structurally adhered to the core, creating maximum bond strength on minimal contact surface area.
Honeycomb composite panels can be used in a variety of applications, including leisure and motorhomes, truck panels, rainscreen cladding, automotive, and cleanrooms.
Finally, the two-component primer has been designed as a pre-treatment for non-ferrous metals such as zinc, nickel, brass, copper, and aluminium. It is suitable for use in panel lamination.
How to Apply Polyurethane Adhesives for Panel Bonding?
Once the two components are thoroughly mixed, the primer can be either roller-coated or spray-applied. Once it has been fully primed, this treatment ensures better adhesion to the surface, is touch-dry in 10 minutes, and can be overcoated in 24 hours.
Before priming, users must ensure the surface area is clean by wiping it with isopropanol.
Solfre laminating adhesives deliver versatile, high-performance solutions across industries and applications, making them a reliable choice for panel bonding needs.
