Soft Forming Adhesives

Soft forming is where the profile is curved and quite difficult to bond because of the stress on the edging. It is a very slow process and is often a manual one. Adhesive applied to the edging of door panels is a common application in soft forming.

Beardow Adams’ soft forming adhesives comply with the FIRA Gold Award Standard. The FIRA International Gold Certification is the recognised quality mark for products or installation services providing documented proof that the product or installation are of the highest standard.
