Upholsterers are skilled in the build and repair of upholstered furniture such as chairs, mattresses, and sofa’s; requiring them to cover material such as foams and similar materials with a wide range of fabric such a cottons, leather, and suede, as well as synthetic alternatives.

The Automotive space has many varied and specialised requirements, where not only the manufacture but ongoing maintenance of vehicles acts as a large segment of the industry.

Commonly adhesives require high temperature resistance for where adhesion is required in proximity to engine parts, whereas specialised cleaning products are often required to be combined with lubricating or protective properties.

AFT aerosols has partnered closely with leading firms in this space to develop brake cleaners, carb cleaners, maintenance products, greases/lubricants and adhesives specific to the needs of the market.

The variety of bonding tasks undertaken on many constructions projects is vast, these can range from underlay and carpet fitting, to lamination, to tiling, roofing and wall covering; meaning there is high demand both for adhesive products with highly specific uses, and also for general purpose use, via a range of delivery methods.

The substrates are as always the primary consideration, but also environmental resistance to heat and or moisture also plays an important role.

Supply of adhesives into the Insulation and Roofing industries provides its own specific challenges. Our close working relationship with leading adhesive manufacturers and our customers within this market has seen AFT develop not only highly efficacious aerosol adhesive products, but also products that meet the stringent regulations and requirements of this marketplace.

Thermal insulation tasks require bonds between substrates as broad as polyurethane & fibrous insulation, to foils, foam and cork. Furthermore, in the removal of asbestos, the user requires the fixing of polythene sheeting often against wood, metals or concrete.

Due to the nature of these tasks, users are often working in confined spaces. As a result, this requires adhesives to be Halogen-Free, Non-carcinogenic, and to not contain any substance known to potentially harm the environment or ozone such as CFCs, Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane), Trichloroethylene or Trichloroethane.
