Wood-based substrates such as particleboard and MDF form the structural core of many contemporary furniture concepts. These materials are used in a wide range of applications due to their stability, cost-efficiency, and design flexibility. To enhance their appearance, durability, and overall value, the raw surfaces are refined with a broad selection of decorative options. These include real wood veneers that provide a natural and authentic look, as well as polymer-based surfaces such as ABS, PMMA, or PET films, which offer consistent quality, a wide variety of colors, and excellent durability.
This broad spectrum of decorative materials gives designers and manufacturers the freedom to create furniture components that meet individual aesthetic and functional requirements. Laminated elements typically include furniture fronts, side and back panels, and shelves.
In today’s furniture market, supermatt and high-gloss finishes are particularly prominent. These demanding surfaces require an exceptionally smooth and flawless appearance, as even the slightest irregularity — especially those spanning across edges — can significantly reduce the visual impact. Achieving such precision calls for adhesives that not only bond reliably but also contribute to the consistent appearance of the final product. For these applications, KLEIBERIT provides carefully matched adhesive systems designed to ensure the highest level of surface quality. These solutions are suitable for classic lamination tasks as well as the processing of high-gloss, supermatt, or extremely thin decorative films.
Beyond the adhesive itself, the stability and efficiency of the production process are essential for achieving reliable results. KLEIBERIT therefore supports users in configuring their production workflows to ensure consistent bonding performance, optimal machine interaction, and long-term process reliability.
This includes guidance on adhesive selection, process temperatures, application methods, and the integration of surface and edge processing steps. With this combination of specialised adhesive solutions and practical technical support, users can achieve high-quality laminated furniture components that meet both visual and structural requirements.
