Chemique offers a solution of a two component polyurethane adhesive

Since its establishment in 1985, Chemique Adhesives has been a leader in the development of high performance industrial adhesives. A broad product range provides adhesive application equipment solutions for a variety of industry sectors and applications. The company has always been committed to supporting its customers with experience and expertise, helping to analyse their requirements in detail, and offer solutions exactly matched to their needs. These were some of the reasons that FG Trailers, a manufacturer of custom built trailers based in the North East of England, originally approached Chemique Adhesives.

FG Trailers design and manufacture bespoke mobile shower trailers for use in decontamination and the event industry. The company was previously outsourcing their panel production, but following recent growth and business expansion, decided to take full control of production. Chemique Adhesives was able to provide a solution which enabled manufacturing in-house, and away from an outsourced process.

“Chemique Adhesives is a well-known name within our industry, and not only that but they also supplied our existing panel manufacturer, so it was a given as to who I needed to contact” explained Paul Nash, Owner of FG Trailers. “Their extensive knowledge of the panel industry meant that they were able to recommend the right adhesive and application equipment for our exact requirements.”

“After speaking with Paul, it was clear that a degree of semi-automation was required for making the panels and so we trialled our portable dispense unit in conjunction with a two component polyurethane adhesive from our Solfre range,” said Justin Clark, Chemique Adhesives Business Development Manager.

This was the ideal solution for FG Trailers, as both the adhesive and equipment could be provided by a sole supplier. It also meant that the correct ratio of adhesive was dispensed from the machine, eliminating the need of manual mixing and avoiding human error. This process ultimately reduces waste and provides a much cleaner and user friendly application.

Two part PU adhesive solution

The adhesive used with the portable dispense unit is Solfre 2 – a two component, polyurethane product. Solfre 2 is suitable for a variety of applications such as construction panels, truck building, caravan panels and many similar uses where a permanent structural bond is required. Its unique formulation provides superior resistance to chemicals, heat, humidity and thermal shock.

“I’m very pleased with the adhesive and equipment that was recommended by Chemique”, continued Paul. “Not only this, but they also provided sound technical advice and Justin fully understood our requirements from the start and was able to offer a tailored solution to suit our needs, which has worked out really well for us”.

Chemique Adhesives’ Total Service Package includes tailor-made adhesive solutions combined with full engineering and technical support. A team of engineers are on hand to provide regular servicing and support in case of any breakdowns or issues, which can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
