What is CR?
Chloroprene Rubber (CR) plays a major role in the global economy, with key applications in various industries including manufacturing, automotive, medical industries and consumer goods. It is mainly used for the production of technical rubber parts (cables, hoses, belts, etc.), neoprene and water-based adhesives.
When formulating water-based adhesives, CR is very popular for its good bonding properties and is used in most products today.
The leading CR-Free adhesive portfolio
The SIMALFA® CR-free adhesives are available as both 1-component and 2-component adhesives.
As with all SIMALFA® adhesive types, the new series is extremely economical to use. Even smallest application quantities efficiently bond foams and enable bonding at the highest level.
SIMALFA® CR-free adhesives
The CR-free adhesives from SIMALFA® are water-based contact adhesives, formulated free of solvents and halogen (and as a result free of chlorine). The adhesives were developed especially for the foam processing industry. The one- and two-component system can be used for a multitude of materials produced by the foam converting and upholstery industry.
The adhesives are characterized by excellent wet adhesion and heat resistance. Together with the high initial tack, the user benefits from a system that guarantees both economic and ecological processing.

Reduce your ecological footstep
Due to new, stricter environmental regulations the foam industry is changing. Regulatory limits are being tightened and customer requirements are rising. The need for chlorine- and thus halogen-free end products is continuously gaining in importance.

A first step into a circular economy
The goal of circular economy is to design entire production systems and economies in the form of closed cycles and the associated abolition of waste, emissions or energy and material losses of any kind. The technical cycle aims to recover and restore products, components, and materials through strategies like reuse, repair, remanufacture or (in the last resort) recycling.
The CR-free adhesives from SIMALFA® help you to prepare your products for this particular challenge.
