'Structural' in this catalogue has a specific, documented meaning: the manufacturer's structural adhesive category is the line built around construction adhesives — grades whose job is to hold a manufactured product together, rather than to keep a surface tacky. Its overwhelmingly largest documented application family is disposable hygiene: diaper and sanitary construction, elastic and positioning adhesives, and the pads, bibs, mats and protective items around that industry. Related documented listings extend the same construction logic to protective suit sealing and similar assembled disposables.
The structural category centres on assembled products: disposable hygiene production is its documented centre, with protective clothing and related applications around it. The construction grades laminate and fix the product's layers and components; the elastic and positioning grades fix components — elastic strands, seals, positioned parts — that must keep working in the finished product. Hygiene producers will find their own construction and elastic positions covered in depth on the hygiene page.
The Two Structural Jobs
- Construction adhesive — laminates and fixes the product's layers and components; judged on bond reliability at low coat weights and line speed.
- Elastic / positioning adhesive — fixes live elastic strands and components that must keep working (gathering, sealing, holding position) in the finished product.
- Assembly and sealing — documented in listings such as protective suit sealing strips, where the bond closes a seam rather than laminating a web.
The manufacturer's structural listings are organised by product and application rather than by one shared specification, so the category carries no single shared parameter table: construction and elastic grades are specified against your materials, line speed and coat weight, confirmed in the quotation, and proven with samples on your line.
How to Specify This Adhesive
A useful enquiry names five things: the substrate or material being bonded, the application method and equipment, the coat weight in grams per square metre where it is known, the temperature the bond must withstand in service, and the test standard your customer applies. Those five points are the same starting points the manufacturer's own customisation process uses when it opens a new formulation brief, and they let the laboratory match an existing grade before anyone talks about developing a new one.
If you are replacing an adhesive already in production, send its current grade name or a sample description — viscosity behaviour, colour and the failure you are trying to fix narrow the choice faster than a catalogue number. Samples are part of the documented route: free samples are listed on many product pages, and the freight arrangement for your sample is confirmed in the reply.
Supply, Packing and Samples
The documented minimum order on product listings is 1,000 kg, consistent with the 1-tonne minimum stated in the manufacturer's published frequently asked questions, and the documented production cycle is 7–15 days. Packing follows the listing for the grade — film-wrapped blocks are the standard form, with carton packing stated per product — and can be confirmed against your handling requirements in the quotation. Nothing on this page promises a grade's availability before the quotation confirms it for your specification.
Is structural adhesive stronger than PSA?
They do different jobs: structural grades hold a product's construction together and set as bonds; pressure sensitive grades stay tacky. 'Stronger' only has meaning inside one job.
What is the biggest structural application?
Disposable hygiene production is the documented centre of this line, with construction and elastic grades for diapers, sanitary products and pads.
My product is not hygiene — is this still my page?
If your product is an assembled disposable or a construction bond, yes: start the enquiry here and the application will be placed correctly.
Send the application, substrate, application method and the quantity you need — the grade, sample route and price are confirmed per product in the written quotation.
