Worktops, Panels and Cubicles

Making laminated worktops and panels means bonding HPL (high-pressure laminate) or veneer to substrates, then applying edgebanding to seal the edges. You’re typically using D3 or D4 PVA adhesives for the lamination – the D rating tells you how water-resistant they are, which matters for kitchens and bathrooms.

Edgebanding is usually done with EVA or polyolefin hotmelts. These melt, bond quickly, and cool fast enough to keep production moving. For partition systems and cubicles, you need adhesives that meet building regulations for fire and structural performance, particularly if you’re working on commercial or public buildings.

Post-forming (bending laminate around curved edges) requires adhesives that remain workable under heat and pressure. For partition systems and cubicles, you need adhesives that meet building regulations for fire and structural performance, particularly for commercial or public buildings. Construction site conditions mean products need to handle varying temperatures during application and curing.
