H.B. Fuller Film Adhesives
Flexel™ reactive films are an advanced alternative to thermoplastic film, hot melt or liquid adhesives and ideally suited for the assembly of soft goods. Flexel™ RFA delivers the performance of a thermosetting adhesive in an easy-to-use film form. These reactive films are ideally suited for the assembly of soft goods. Their low cure activation temperatures are gentle on heat sensitive substrates and won’t damage the finish of fine leathers or microfiber. Our thermosetting reactive film has superior heat resistance and chemical resistance compared to thermoplastics adhesives, so customers’ products will be more durable. This easy-to-use adhesive technology also doesn’t require any special applation equipment, allowing manufacturers to apply exactly the right amount of adhesive precisely where they need it.
