The Best Adhesives for Manufacturing Fire-Rated Panels and Doors
When working with fired-rated doors and panels, using the best adhesive is essential. Here at Adkwik, we have many adhesives that are perfect for this speciality manufacturing.
To be fire rated, these panels and doors must pass several tests. A fire testing facility will give an overall rating of a finished panel or door. Due to this, adhesives are rarely fire rated as standalone products.
Finding the Best Fire Rated Adhesive
If your business is working to specifications requiring fired-rated adhesives, Adkwik has you covered.

Suitable for both hot and cold pressing, Timbond D3-rated adhesive is perfect for a number of applications.
What is the difference between Non-Flammable and Fire-Rated?
There often needs to be clarity that non-flammable adhesives have better fire-rated properties and vice versa; this is not usually the case. Some fire-rated adhesives contain solvents, meaning they are flammable.
