A game-changer for upholstery

Simalfa 825 was specially developed for bonding foam to upholstery materials such as wood or plastic. The solvent-free and water-based two-component adhesive shows very high flexibility. Here Mariusz puts the new Simalfa 825 through its paces...

Hello Mariusz, you have been working in the upholstered furniture industry for a long time. What makes you an expert in bonding in upholstery?

I have been working in the upholstery industry since 1998 and have been working with adhesives for this industry since 2004. Adhesives are a central component in the manufacturing of upholstered furniture and are used in various places.

In my work, I have already processed, tested, and compared quite a few brands of adhesives from different manufacturers. Especially when it comes to upholstering high-quality products in the furniture industry, the demands on adhesive application and processing are particularly demanding.

Certain intricate shapes in furniture design are unattainable without a high-class adhesive. The perfect adhesive can easily be processed and has a high durability in the end product.

Talking about the high demands towards bonding, how are these requirements being met today?
