Shoe-making industry

Water-based adhesives, solvent-free PUR hot melt adhesives, and bio-based adhesives are gradually replacing traditional solvent-based adhesives, meeting the demands for zero benzene and low VOC levels.

Requirements for adhesives

The footwear industry has very high requirements for the physical and chemical properties of adhesives. These properties mainly include initial adhesion (initial bonding strength), peel strength, creep resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, open time (time for maintaining adhesion), tackiness, fatigue resistance, hydrolytic resistance, shelf life, yellowing resistance and aging resistance.

Adhesives commonly used in shoe-making industry

General-purpose chloroprene rubber adhesive

Generally used as a bonding agent for heel linings, edge sealing, lining materials, and interfacing.

Polyurethane solvent adhesive

Generally used as a bonding agent for the bottom.

SBS adhesive

Generally used as sole binding glue, hemming glue and lining glue.

Water-based chloroprene rubber adhesive

Generally used for bonding fabric together.

Water-based polyurethane adhesive

Generally used as a bonding agent for the bottom.
