Tough adhesive challenge solved for furniture manufacturer

Tough adhesive challenge solved for furniture manufacturer

The problem 

As designers and manufacturers of some of the finest bespoke furniture, this global company was facing a new challenge: how to adapt its manufacturing processes to meet the growing demand for quality outdoor kitchens.

With a new range inspired by the glamour of classic yachts, all outdoor cabinetry needed to be constructed using materials that are capable of withstanding the demands of harsh climates. One of the greatest challenges they faced was finding a suitable adhesive to bond iroko wood, an extremely durable timber perfectly suited to their range of outdoor kitchens, but containing oils that naturally resist many conventional adhesives.

But their head of design knew that Adkwik would be able to find a solution.

“When it came to the adhesives we looked to trusted industry friends at Adkwik to assist us. Adkwik readily grasped our predicament and drew on their technical expertise to support us.”

Our solution 

Adkwik recommended Timbond X600 PU Adhesive as an ideal solution. A two-part, non-foaming adhesive, Timbond X600 cuts through the oils in the timber and creates a glue line that is 100% waterproof.

“When Clive Warren, head of technical sales at Adkwik, informed us that the recommended adhesive technology was used to affix timber to carbon fibre race yachts, we knew we were in safe hands, he understood our drive for the absolute.”

Once the customer agreed to this recommendation, Clive visited the customer’s workshop and personally walked the production team through the details of handling and applying Timbond X600. After production had commenced, Clive visited the workshop again to ensure the customer was satisfied with the adhesive’s

The result

By choosing Timbond X600 PU Adhesive, the customer is assured of a permanent bond that will stand up to the demands placed on it by outdoor use, including variations of heat and humidity, sunlight and UV.

The ultimate indicator of a successful project is, of course, a satisfied customer. As their head of design concluded, “Adkwik provided a very personal service, guiding us through uncharted waters with vast industry knowledge backed by science. We hope to continue to work with this company for many more years to come and look forward to the next brief we can put their way.”

As a solvent-free construction adhesive, Timbond X600 is safer to use and meets EMICODE EC1 plus specification, which means it is better for the environment.
