In the shoe industry, adhesives have largely replaced mechanical fastening procedures such as sewing, nailing and riveting. For the production of a modern shoe, for instance, up to ten different adhesive types are used in up to seven work processes.
The benefits are obvious: Different materials can be bonded to each other; bonding joints are hardly visible and do not impair the overall appearance of the finished product. Our bonds are firm, flexible and uniform.
Shoe adhesives are a core segment of Forbo Adhesives. Progressively, we have been able to enhance our competence in the field of shoe adhesives so that today we have a complete range of products suitable for a vast range of different applications.
