The Foam Fabricating Adhesives Group of Worthen Industries supplies a complete
line of adhesives tailored for the construction of foam furniture and bedding,
automotive interiors, office chairs and partitions, and related applications.
The Fabond® line of water-based adhesives eliminates the workplace
health risks presented by some solvent-based adhesives.
We made it our mission to help our customers choose the best
adhesive system for their application, comply with regulations respecting adhesives
use, and become as efficient as possible through automation to compete better
in their worldwide markets.
At the Foam Fabricating Adhesives Group, we take particular
pride in our development of the Fabond® line of water-based adhesives,
which eliminate the workplace health risks presented by some solvent-based adhesives.
Our water-based line includes the original spray-and-stick one-part natural latex
Fabond products that are perfect for foam-to-foam construction, cushion assembly,
and high-speed fiber wrapping.
With soft, strong bonds to viscoelastic foams, these products are perfect
for use in the manufacturing of bedding.
When acetone became unregulated as a VOC (volatile organic
compound), our team took the formulation of solvent adhesives to a new level with
the development of Slabonds, all-acetone solvent-based adhesives with no VOCs
or HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) to report. Originally developed for use on
loop-slitters to join large slabs of foam, Slabond products with zero VOCs find
broad application.
Our product line includes one- and two-part synthetic water-based
adhesives providing fast-tack and customized for either spray or roll coat application.
With soft, strong bonds to viscoelastic foams, these products are perfect for
use in the manufacturing of bedding. Moreover, they provide the high performance
bond properties required for automotive interiors and office seating.
Through
our drive for innovation and the need to meet our customers’ special challenges,
our full line of products includes:
water-based, spray-applied, one and two-part Fabond® products,
Foamlam water-based products for roll coat laminating,
Slabond and Freebond “acetone-only” VOC-free solvent-based adhesives,
acetone/heptane solvent adhesives, supplied in bulk, spray cans, or canisters,
100% solids hot melts, in pressure-sensitive or dimple resistant formulations,
specialty products such as slip coatings for cushion stuffing,
specialty tapes such as wide reinforcing seam tape for loop slitters, and
Whether you are a large or a small fabricator, we want to
help you choose the best adhesive system for your operation. We provide laboratory
evaluations of substrates and recommend adhesive options to meet end-use requirements.
We’ll help you understand regulations and offer guidance for compliance.
We bring often-overlooked issues, such as ventilation requirements, adhesive delivery
systems, and automation to the forefront. Through our alliance with equipment
suppliers, we help customers choose application systems and achieve the productivity
they need, and would like to help you, too. Please contact us for a free consultation.
