  • Edge banding: Adhesives are used to attach thin strips of material, such as wood or plastic, to the edges of boards to create a finished look.
  • Doweling: Adhesives can be used to secure dowels, which are wooden rods used to reinforce joints and provide additional strength.
  • Laminating: Adhesives such as SabreGrip S38 are used to bond multiple layers of material together, such as in the production of plywood and other composite materials.
  • Veneering: Adhesives such as SabreGrip S32 are used to attach thin sheets of wood, known as veneers, to the surface of a substrate to create a decorative finish.
  • Assembly: Adhesives such as SabreFix PU are used to bond the individual components of a cabinet or other piece of furniture together.
