Europe-wide specialist in the trade of furniture edgings and fittings, Ostermann, possesses an impressively diverse adhesives portfolio, some of which we explore below ...
REDOCOL Osterbond
Ostermann has consolidated and expanded its range of REDOCOL contact adhesives under one product family, with five different products now available under the name REDOCOL Osterbond.
The family incorporates REDOCOL Osterbond Classic 540.00; REDOCOL Osterbond Smart 550.02/06; REDOCOL Osterbond Spray 570.02 Basic; REDOCOL Osterbond Spray 580.02 Basic, as well as a new product – REDOCOL Osterbond Spray 570.52 Fine Fix.
Characterised by an ultra-fine adhesive application, REDOCOL Osterbond Spray 570.52 Fine Fix is particularly suitable for extremely smooth and thin surfaces. This new addition also comes in a portable 22.1 litre tank.
The REDOCOL Osterbond product family now combines tried and tested products under one product line and offers the right contact adhesive for every application, whether solid, liquid, in a portable tank or a handy spray can.
REDOCOL Kantomelt Lightly Filled
With EVA hotmelt adhesives, carpenters/cabinet makers can choose between filled, lightly filled and unfilled products. Filled versions contain resins and minerals, in addition to the pure adhesives. This makes filled EVA hotmelt adhesives particularly easy to process. Unfilled hotmelt, on the other hand, consists of pure EVA copolymer. The adhesive can be applied more thinly, and produce a thinner joint when the machine is optimally adjusted. The processing, however, is more demanding, and higher feed rates are recommended.
The EVA hotmelt REDOCOL Kantomelt lightly filled offers a good alternative. Compared to an unfilled hotmelt adhesive, the all-rounder is much easier to process and therefore particularly suitable for older and slow-running machines. There is no unwanted stringing or smearing of the adhesive.
The hotmelt adhesive is further characterised by low consumption and a thinner glue joint as well as good heat and cold resistance. The bondline comes close to the quality of unfilled products.
The hotmelt adhesive is available in natural and white. For light board colours and decors, the Ostermann experts recommend white. Darker colours and decors are best processed with natural-coloured adhesive.
REDOCOL Kantomelt PUR LM with reduced isocyanate content
When processing edgings, hotmelt adhesives based on polyurethane (PUR) ensure a particularly good, durable and water- and heat-resistant bond. Since the requirements for occupational safety and environmental protection are increasing in the area of PUR adhesives, Ostermann has included a PUR hotmelt adhesive with a reduced monomeric isocyanate content in its range.
The new REDOCOL Kantomelt PUR LM is the first non-labelled PUR product of the REDOCOL brand. It is available as a 2kg block and in two colours (natural and white). For more information, type in the search term “#REDOCOLLM” on the Ostermann website.
