Adhesive Portfolio
Overview
We offer a broad portfolio of more than 150 high-performance, water-based adhesives engineered for the bedding, furniture, automotive, aerospace, medical, and foam fabrication industries. Our technologies help manufacturers improve production efficiency, support cleaner and more operator-friendly working environments, and achieve consistent, high-quality bonding performance.
Our portfolio includes multiple adhesive chemistries and application technologies designed to accommodate a wide range of substrates, production methods, line speeds, and performance requirements. By working closely with each client, we can evaluate their application and manufacturing environment to identify the most effective adhesive solution.
Our core water-based adhesive technologies
Acrylic Adhesives
Acrylic adhesives are water-based products designed to provide excellent processing stability, low odor, and clean application characteristics. These products are commonly used where high production speeds, easy cleanup, and environmentally friendly processing are important.
| Product | Type | Application | Equipment | Design emphasis |
| Simalfa 366 | 1 part | Roll coat | Roll coaterIR oven required | Eliminate moisture within the mattress so products can be roll packed immediately after production. It is considered an older approach that became common when manufacturers could not consistently rely on the accuracy and repeatability of their application equipment. |
| 875-SGTSmart Glue Technology | 1 part | Roll coat | Roll coater | A next-generation water-based adhesive engineered without chloroprene rubber (CR) — and it requires no IR oven. Its unique chemistry is designed to create stronger molecular interaction with the substrate, allowing the adhesive to achieve full bond strength with less material applied. |
| EcoPeel 100 | 1 part | SprayRoll coat | Spray gunRoll coater | EcoPeel supports the circular economy by making bonded assemblies easier to disassemble at end-of-life, allowing individual components to be separated for recycling. This contributes to a more responsible use of resources while maintaining the production efficiency and dependable bond performance manufacturers require. |
Chloroprene Rubber Adhesives
Chloroprene rubber adhesives are designed for demanding foam bonding applications where aggressive tack, immediate handling strength, and fast processing are required. These products are commonly used in high-speed mattress and furniture manufacturing operations.
| Product | Type | Application | Equipment | Design emphasis |
| Simalfa 308-FRFlame Retardant | 1 part | SprayRoll coat | Spray gunRoll coater | Designed for aerospace applications, this adhesive is engineered to meet FAA 14 CFR 25.853(a), Appendix F, Part I, (a)(1)(ii) requirements. |
| Simalfa 311 | 1 part | Spray | Spray gun | All purpose product, works well with foam to foam, or foam to wood, foam to plastic bonding |
| Simalfa 321 | 1 part | Spray | Spray gun | All purpose, ideal for bonding foam to plastic or wood |
| Simalfa 338 | 1 part | SprayRoll coat | Spray gunRoll coater | Super high instant tack, great one-sided application on foam to foam |
| Simalfa 309-OFOverspray Free | 1 part | Spray | Spray gun | Effectively eliminates overspray through advanced chemistry |
| Simalfa 345-IRHybrid | 1 part | SprayRoll coat | Spray gunRoll coater | Hybrid product, can be used with or without IR ovens, fast drying, direct to roll packing. |
| Simalfa 8182 | 2 part | Spray | 2k spray gunAccelerator required | High instant tack with excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates including foam, wood, and plastic. |
| Simalfa 819 | 2 part | Spray | 2k spray gunAccelerator required | High instant tack with excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates including foam, wood, and plastic. |
Polyurethane Adhesives
Polyurethane adhesives are engineered for specialized bonding applications requiring enhanced flexibility, durability, or difficult substrate bonding. These products are often used where higher performance characteristics are needed.
| Product | Type | Application | Equipment | Design emphasis |
| Simalfa 900-PU | 1 part | Spray | Spray gun | Heat reactive, ideal for upholstery applications |
| Simalfa 980-PU | 1 part | SprayRoll coat | Spray gun | Designed specifically for bonding polyurethane foams while supporting circular recycling initiatives. Since both the adhesive and foam are PU-based materials, the finished product remains closer to a mono-material construction, helping simplify recycling processes where foam is converted back into polyol. |
| Simalfa 981-PU | 1 part | SprayRoll coat | Spray gunRoll coater | Designed specifically for bonding polyurethane foams while supporting circular recycling initiatives. Since both the adhesive and foam are PU-based materials, the finished product remains closer to a mono-material construction, helping simplify recycling processes where foam is converted back into polyol. |
Whether using spray or roll coating systems, our products are engineered to provide high productivity, operator-friendly processing, and reliable bond performance across a wide variety of industries and substrates.
