Supex 7221: Best Rockwool Adhesive & Honeycomb Adhesive – Premium PU Glue in India

Discover Supex 7221 – The Ideal Rockwool and Honeycomb Adhesive

You need a strong bond for insulation panels. Supex 7221 delivers it reliably. This one-part polyurethane (PUR) adhesive bonds Rockwool, honeycomb cores, metals, and more. Manufacturers in India trust it for construction, fire doors, and sandwich panels. Moreover, it cures with air moisture for tough, flexible joints. Therefore, it excels as the top rockwool adhesive and honeycomb adhesive.

First, see why this matters. Rockwool provides fire resistance and insulation. Honeycomb cores keep panels light yet strong. Weak adhesives fail under heat or vibration. However, Supex 7221 prevents that. It creates durable, high-strength bonds that last.
