DIY Market

The DIY Market is ideal for repair and single projects, you will find probably an adhesive that will bond to your substrates.

You won’t find Intercol in the DIY market, we might have supplied bulk materials for e.g. white PVAc Wood Glue, our we coöperatie in private label products such as wallpaper adhesives, waterbased coatings and other waterbased polymer products.

When to use an Intercol adhesive?

Our adhesives are most used in industrial production processes like:

• Packaging (food, consumer products, parcel boxes, industrial palletizing, etc.)
• Furniture production
• Building materials manufacturing (e.g. insulation panel assembly, geotextiles)
• Textile industry, laminations, etc.
• Bookbinding and graphic industry

Which adhesives are ideal for industrial production processes?

Most industrial processes like the properties of different hot melt adhesive solutions. These hot melts are environmentally friendly because there is no use of solvents. In basics, there are three different groups hot melt adhesives.

• Thermoplastic hot melts, that melt and become fluid at warm temperatures (from 50°C tot 200°C), and quickly solidify at room temperature after being applied
• PSA hot melts, that stay sticky after cooling down, like pressure sensitive tapes (mounting tape, packaging tape, duck tape)
• PUR hot melts, that cure after solidfication. The curing process increases the bond strength, chemical resistance and heat resistance
