On the floor and at the shows
Kyotex systems, on factory floors and at industry trade shows.
Applications
From insole bonding to leather goods.
Three processes where Kyotex adhesives replace solvent-based shoe cement.
Solvent-free insole bonding
Insole adhesive tape, hot melt or cold bonding: three ways to bond insoles without solvent flash-off on the line.
Compare insole bonding optionsLeather goods adhesives
PSA tapes, hot melts and reinforcements for leather goods, with machinery for medium and large parts.

Hot melt film, web, net or powder for bonding layers of material with heat and pressure.
See lamination optionsWhy manufacturers choose Kyotex
Built for high output — and for prep work done off the production line.
Solvent-free by design
Lower VOC emissions on the floor, without compromising bond strength or cure speed.
Built for volume
Systems tuned for high-output footwear and leather goods lines, not just prototypes. Apply the adhesive today and bond later.
Machinery built in-house
Kyo application equipment is designed together with our adhesives — the system is conceived as one.
Hands-on technical support
Our team calibrates the system with your production line, not just over email.
Kyo machinery
Adhesive and machinery, engineered together.
Our application equipment is built alongside every adhesive system we ship, so dispensing, lamination and curing are calibrated as one machine — not as parts bolted together later.
