The foam-bonding blog
In the last few years, foam bonding has become an increasingly demanding business. Many key application fields of foam – foam converting and upholstery, mattress manufacturing and automotive – face multiple challenges, such as cost pressure, workspace contamination and rising consumer demands. In this article, we present solutions that work for any of these industries.
To start off, we have prepared a few articles of general interest on topics such as the benefits of PU foam or the different adhesive types available. Later, we dive into the three industries: mattress manufacturing, upholstery and automotive, and talk about individual topics, challenges, and solutions.

The trustworthy ally in the automotive industry
The SIMALFA® adhesives have been specifically developed and optimized to meet the high requirements of today's production of automobiles. With SIMALFA® you achieve an immediate, high-quality bonding of your work piece.
How rolled mattresses optimize your production
Long drying times, high space requirements and the so-called "memory effect" are a thing of a past. SIMALFA® 360 is the first choice for an efficient mattress production.
Roller coating in mattress manufacturing
The usage of rolling equipment maximizes your output while the application quantity of the adhesive can be reduced to a minimum and the whole process is extremely economical.
Making a valuable contribution to the environment through mattress recycling
In the past, supply shortages have increased due to the limited availability of CR. The SIMALFA®-team has therefore expanded its adhesive portfolio with CR-free adhesives that meet current and emerging regulations.
The importance of mattress recycling
The SIMALFA® adhesives have been thoroughly tested for contaminants and do not pollute the environment during mechanical or chemical recycling. Due to their water base, they are inherently sustainable.
Wet contact adhesives for gluing foam
Foam adhesives are often exposed to high tensile forces while the adhesive is still in its drying process. SIMALFA® wet contact adhesives are known for their strong instant tack and therefore optimal for bonding under tension.
CR-free adhesives
In the past, supply shortages have increased due to the limited availability of CR. The SIMALFA®-team has therefore expanded its adhesive portfolio with CR-free adhesives that meet current and emerging regulations.
Improved efficiency with fast drying adhesives
In the production of mattresses, short waiting times and instant packaging can significantly improve efficiency. For the ultimate speed of the inline production and the best quality of the mattress, we designed SIMALFA® 360.
SIMALFA®: Solutions for mattress manufacturing
Pack mattresses immediately after production. Maximize efficiency, reduce storage space requirements and increase process reliability at the same time.
