Quickbond™ AB2550-PFB: Instant Open-Cell Foam-to-Foam and Foam-to-Substrate Bonding

  • Instant bonding of all open-cell foams, ideal for upholstery manufacturing 
  • Instant bonding for open-cell foams to porous and non-porous substrates
  • Flexibility to -40ºC with bonding exceeds the intrinsic foam strength

AB2550-PFB forms instant tacking and green strength to allow robust handling almost instantly within 5 seconds in bonding open-cell foam to foam, foam to porous and non-porous substrates. This industry unparalleled fast strength build-up allows in-line production immediately after the attachment.

Matching Speed of Tack-Bonding Time with the Usage Requirement:

Speed or time to achieve handling strength for foam-to-foam can vary substantially for water-based foam contact adhesive. For closed and open-cell foam-to-foam bonding, some can take 10-60 minutes to reach handling strength.

The ideal foam adhesive for high volume or professional usage is “instant tack-bonding” or achieving adequate bond strength instantly upon contact and immediately after brushing, rolling, or spraying of the water-based adhesive. AB2550-PFB has been designed and tested to achieve “instant” contact bonding for open-cell foam-to-foam bonding.

AB2550-PFB also provide the same instant contact adhesion when bonding open-cell and closed-cell foam to wood, foam to paper, and other porous substrates. Same instant bonding of open-cell foam to plastics, leathers, metals, concrete, ceramics, and other non-porous substrates.

Foam adhesive used for foam-to-foam bonding with different compressible foams such as those used upholstery and bedding must not change the overall flexibility and compressibility of the original foam. That is the foam adhesive must be more flexible than the foam themselves even at sub-ambient temperature. This is achieved with the molecular structure of the foam adhesive matches that of the most flexible foams made of polyurethane, EVA, latex, etc.

AB2550-PFB is ideal for manufacturing of large area soft open-cell foam to itself and other type of open-cell and closed-cell foams (except that of EPE and PE types).  AB2550-PFB is exceptionally versatile in providing instant bonding of all open and closed-cell foams (except EPE type) to wood, paper, plastics, metals, concrete and ceramic.
