Adhesives for laboratory furniture

Professional laboratory furniture is usually expensive custom-made products and is subjected to extreme stress on a daily basis due to its intended use. Since they make a significant contribution to occupational safety in everyday laboratory work, some laboratory furniture is subject to statutory regulations.

To meet this challenge, the use of the right adhesive is crucial. The adhesive is used for surface lamination, edge bonding and dowel bonding/cabinet bonding. Furthermore, assembly bonding is carried out with appropriate adhesives. In the laboratory area, the following requirements, among others, apply to an adhesive bond:

  • High impact and scratch resistance

  • High load capacity

  • Chemical resistance

  • Water resistance

  • Steam resistance

  • Heat and cold resistance

  • Fire resistance

For laboratory furniture, we clearly rely on reactive PUR hotmelt adhesives. They offer by far the highest resistance to heat, chemicals, moisture and mechanical stress. Reactive PUR hotmelt adhesives can be customized, which enables a customer-oriented application and also guarantees an uncomplicated and economical manufacturing process.

The demand for environmentally friendly and low-emission adhesives is constantly increasing. We therefore offer low-emission PUR hotmelt adhesives for the laboratory sector.

Lamination

Adhesives for 2D surface lamination of laboratory furniture

Extremely robust, shock-proof and aesthetic furniture surfaces are a basic requirement in laboratory environments. For this reason, decorative materials are glued to carrier boards, and both the decor material and the adhesive must withstand the demands of day-to-day laboratory use. The bonds must have strong and permanent resistance to various chemicals, cleaning agents, different temperatures, water, steam, and high impacts to ensure long-lasting use.

The FlatLamination process ensures efficient and fast production of the furniture units. First, the hotmelt is applied to the whole surface of the carrier board with heated rollers. Then the coating material is added, also with rollers and using pressure. Reactive hotmelts offer the best benefits for this purpose. Their formulation can be customized to specific production processes, which is ideal for industrial processing. Long open times combined with a high initial strength provide flexibility and mean that the furniture boards can be further processed immediately after bonding. Further advantages are very high final strength and great resistance to external factors. A brilliant finish can be achieved even with very thin films.

Boards laminated in a FlatLamination process can be used for the following furniture elements:

  • fronts

  • sides

  • rear panels

  • shelves

Our chemical engineers and scientiests are committed to researching new adhesive formulations and processing methods to achieve improved bonding and processing properties. We specialize in providing customized adhesive solutions for smooth automated production processes. With decades of experience in surface lamination to draw on, we continue to solve many a complex challenge. Benefit from our know-how and let us advise you.

Edge

Edge banding for laboratory furniture

The edges of particle boards that serve as carrier materials are very fragile. Should any liquid or steam, etc., get spilled on unprotected edging, the latter will swell and, sooner or later, ruin the whole piece of furniture. Edge banding is therefore essential. Protecting furniture edging in laboratories can be challenging. The furniture is constantly exposed to special cleaning agents, heat and steam, and has to withstand above-average shock impacts. The quality of the edge banding is therefore decisive for the durability of a product used in such an environment.

State-of-the-art edge banding machines are used for edge banding laboratory furniture. Any adhesives used have to meet very stringent requirements as the production line processes are becoming ever faster and more customized. Reactive PUR hotmelts are unbeatable for such purposes. High initial strengths mean that direct further processing is usually possible. The formulation of the adhesive can be customized to the specifications of both the end product and the production process, thus contributing to efficiency all along the line.

We cooperate closely with established manufacturers of edge banding machines, and our edge banding adhesives have been used for several decades in industrial laboratory furniture manufacturing. Benefit from our experience and let us advise you. We will help you find the right adhesive and optimize your individual production process.

Profile

Profile wrapping for modular furniture in laboratories

Laminated skirtings and trimmings are common elements of modern laboratory furniture. While primarily having functional purposes, they also need to be visually appealing, and there is a huge variety of shapes and decors on offer. In everyday laboratory environments, these elements are constantly exposed to heat, moisture and cleaning agents. Robust and high-quality lab furniture therefore requires specific adhesive systems.

Skirtings are usually made of particle boards, aluminium, or certain plastics. The decor materials – usually meter goods made of various plastics – are specially designed for use in laboratories. The core material and the decor material are glued together in a wrapping process. A constant demand for faster and more efficient production processes poses new challenges for the adhesive used. Tight radii and sharp edges, in particular, generate high recoil strengths in the decor material. Extremely high initial strength is therefore a key criterion for the adhesive.

We draw on many decades of experience and continuous, ambitious research and development, and work closely with renowned machine manufacturers to develop customized bonding processes that lead to excellent results. Let our engineers help you to optimize your production process. We provide customized adhesive systems and all the related expertise.

Assembly

Gluing dowels and furniture bodies in laboratories

Automatic dowelling machines are used for machine gluing modular furniture parts together. Depending on the production process specifications, dowel glues with special flow properties are needed. Dowel glues are special PVAc-based dispersions, that are usually applied with injection nozzles. Our dowel glues have a specific formulation that prevents the nozzles clogging during machine idle times.

Assembly bonding in laboratories

Assembly adhesives provide safe and reliable bonding for almost all types of materials. In many cases, they dispense with the need for drilling holes and using screws. Our STP assembly adhesives meet the latest technology standards and are considered to be very low-emission. Our PUR assembly adhesives are equally popular. Both provide easy handling for high-strength bonding.
