Supplier and Manufacturer of Adhesives for the Leather and Textile Industry
ACROM offers contact adhesives and glues adapted to the constraints of flexible materials: mechanical deformation, elasticity, absorption, and compatibility with natural leather, synthetics, and technical textiles. Whether dealing with water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt, or latex technologies, our solutions integrate into manual bonding, in-line processing, or spray application, with industrial on-site technical support if required.
We meet the requirements of leather and textile bonding. The choice of adhesive must adapt to the nature of the substrates, the application method, and process constraints (open time, repositionability, final hold), while guaranteeing durable adhesion without marking or migration.
We offer a wide range of industrial adhesives guaranteeing flexibility, durability over time, multi-substrate compatibility, and ease of use. Our expertise relies on selecting the technology adapted to your workstation (latex dispersions, neoprene, EVA, APAO, CMR-free formulations), with validation in real-world conditions and field support.
Adhesive Solutions for Key Leather and Textile Sectors
Footwear & Leather Goods
For the manufacture of shoes or leather goods, adhesives must offer good resistance to folding, tension, and humidity, while remaining compatible with flexible supports, whether natural or synthetic. We take into account constraints regarding repositioning, rapid drying, and surface appearance to guarantee clean, durable, and invisible adhesion.
- Assembly: Sole/upper assembly or pre-stitching with neoprene or latex, adapted to manual or automated production rates.
- Leather Goods: Assembly of leather, split leather, or PU via low-viscosity solvent-based glues or water-based dispersions.
- Process Control: Adjustment of open time according to the bonding method (brush, spray, roller) and required hold (repositionable or permanent).
Flocking & Technical Textiles
In technical lamination applications, textile adhesives must guarantee uniform application without migration or "mapping" effects, whilst ensuring good compatibility with coated textiles, foams, or technical films. Rheology and deposition regularity are decisive factors.
- Flocking: Bonding for homogenous flocking with high-transparency water-based glues or fast-setting EVA hot-melts.
- Lamination: Textile/textile or textile/foam lamination with hot-melt adhesives or specific dispersions with low moisture uptake.
- Validation: Product testing on your substrates (polyester, PVC, coated cotton, etc.) with adjustment of pressure, temperature, and speed parameters.
Upholstery & Textile Furnishing
Applications in furniture, textile decoration, or technical upholstery require flexible, durable, and low-odour glues capable of accommodating temperature variations and structural tensions. User comfort, workshop safety, and regulatory compliance are also key criteria.
- Solvent-free Adhesives: Latex and dispersions for manual application on panels, foams, textiles, or wood.
- Hot-melts: CMR-free options for bonding on semi-automated lines, featuring good wettability.
- Preparation: Adapted surface preparation (dust removal, adhesion testing) and the possibility of bespoke formulations.

Technical Solutions for Your Leather and Textile Needs
Footwear & Leather Goods
Assembly operations in footwear and leather goods demand flexible, transparent, or colourless glues with sufficient mechanical hold without stiffening the materials. We prioritise easy-to-apply formulations with good wettability and rapid drying to optimise manual or semi-automated production rates.
- ACROBOND CR 916 PTF: Sprayable neoprene glue for rapid bonding of leather and synthetic materials.
- ACROBOND CR 960 RTF: Spatula/trowel-grade neoprene glue for flexible assemblies and clean finishes.
Technical Textiles
Foam bonding or multi-layer lamination requires textile adhesives with controlled rheology, guaranteeing homogenous deposition without migration, and compatibility with coated, technical, or breathable textiles.
- Water-based Glues: Dispersions and latex for porous or sensitive substrates.
- Hot-melt Adhesives: EVA and APAO for fast setting and automated production.
Furnishing, Decoration & Upholstery
In textile furnishing, requirements focus on application comfort, workshop safety, and adhesion durability, including on wood, panels, foam, or textile coverings. Our solutions are formulated to limit emissions and optimise productivity, whether in-line or by hand.
- Water-based Dispersions: For bonding panel + foam and textiles.
- Neoprene Glues: For immediate grab assemblies and sustained production rates.
FAQ
1. Which textile adhesive for natural or synthetic leather?
For bonding leather—whether natural, pigmented, or synthetic—we recommend solvent-based neoprene glues, or water-based dispersions for applications requiring a lower environmental impact. The choice depends on the expected flexibility, final appearance, and drying process (air drying or heat pressing).
2. Which solution for textile/foam lamination?
Laminating foam onto textile or rigid supports requires an adhesive with good wettability and homogenous distribution. We can propose references adapted to industrial speeds, offering a good compromise between initial grab and final flexibility.
3. Can your textile glues be applied by spray?
Yes. Several ACROBOND formulations are compatible with spray bonding. We recommend the correct equipment and validate the deposition quality with your teams. Our water-based dispersions guarantee a regular spray pattern without clogging or excessive misting.
4. Do your products suit technical or coated textiles?
Yes, subject to compatibility with coatings or surface treatments. PU/acrylic dispersions, EVA/APAO hot-melts, and certain solvent-based glues are formulated to adhere to low-polarity substrates. Trials are conducted with or without primer depending on the material/glue pairing to validate adhesion and ensure no migration occurs.
5. Do you provide on-line technical assistance?
Yes. Our technicians travel to your site to validate settings (temperature, pressure, speed), define a preparation protocol, and train your operators. We support your trials and document the selected parameters, providing samples and a technical report.
6. What is the shelf life of your textile glues?
It varies by technology: from 6 to 12 months for water-based dispersions, and up to 24 months for certain hot-melts or solvent-based glues. Storage in a temperate environment protected from humidity guarantees constant performance.
7. What formats are available?
Our textile glues are offered in pots, pails, cartridges, soft pouches, or drums, depending on volumes and application modes. We advise on the correct packaging to limit waste, facilitate dispensing, and optimise batch changes.
8. Delivery times and samples?
We deliver within 48 to 72 hours from our site in La Séguinière (Western France), depending on references. Samples are available for application testing and substrate qualification. Contact us for a complete protocol or a simulation in real conditions.
