Where Kyotex adhesives are used
Kyotex systems are used in three key steps of footwear and leather goods manufacturing: insole bonding, leather goods assembly and material lamination.

Solvent-free insole bonding
Insole adhesive tape, hot melt or cold bonding: three ways to bond insoles without solvent flash-off on the line.

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 optionsOne idea behind every application
The goal is the same in all three: take solvents out of the bond without giving up strength or speed. What changes is the adhesive's form — tape, powder, film, web or net — and how it's activated: with pressure, with heat and pressure, or cold with structural strength.
