QUICKBOND™ AB 2550-PLUS: Water-Based Adhesive that Instantly Bonds Polyurethane Foams

One of the biggest challenges in the wider applications of water-based adhesive in contact mode or wet-bonding mode is the speed of achieving handling strength. The second challenge is ability to achieve the same compatibility of the best solvent-borne contact adhesive that provides one of the widest ranges of substrate bonding including the notoriously difficult bonding substrates such as the EPE/EPP foams.

•          QUICKBOND™ AB2550-PLUS from Coral Industries of AIT Chemical, Inc. is the first in the industry to accomplish the feast of both INSTANT bonding (within 30 seconds) for open-cell foams to themselves and to other substrates. It matches that of the best solvent-borne contact adhesives in the industry.
•          Besides the speed to match that of the solvent-borne contact adhesive, AB2550-PLUS also achieve strong bonding to EPE/PE, EPP/PP substrates. This benchmark setting capability is the first for the water-based adhesives is achieved with novel molecular engineering incorporated in the polymer structure. The bond strength exceeds that of the PU, EVA and EPE foams.
•          Designed for foam mattress manufacturing, the flexible molecular structure of QUICKBOND™ AB2550-PLUS maintains the compressibility and compliance as not to affect the softness of the mattress.

QUICKBOND™ AB2550-PLUS is the first in the industry to provide INSTANT BONDING for foams made will all types of polymers from polyurethane (PU), EVA and expanded polyethylene (EPE) and expanded polypropylene (EPP) to each other and porous and non-porous substrates. The bond strength in most cases is stronger than the foam structure while maintaining the flexibility and compliance of the foam structure.
