The Foam Fabricating Adhesives group designs, manufactures, and provides a complete line of adhesive solutions for foam fabricating applications, which are the bonding of cushioning materials that are found in mattress and furniture manufacturing operations. Our adhesive line includes water-based, hot melt, reactive moisture curing prepolymers, and solvent-based, including VOC-free solvent-based adhesives.
We are a unique supplier to the industry as we formulate and manufacture all types of adhesives including: water based, hot melt, solvent based, reactive, and extruded film adhesives. This allows our customers to choose the right adhesive for their application based on cost per part, efficiency in labor, user safety, and meeting ever-changing regulatory mandates.
Our customers have looked to us as experts and responsible manufacturing advocates in the industry for decades. Click here for an article that we had written about the use of Propyl Bromide in mattress fabrication.

OUR SOLUTION, YOUR SUCCESS
“The airless technology for spray application is hands down better than any water-based system that I have witnessed. It takes all the glue fog [away] and puts [the adhesive] on the product that is being laminated rather than up an exhaust or settling on surrounding surfaces. We were fortunate to be able to work with UPACO on some of the development of the systems.”
