FAQs

  1. What is water based leather adhesive used for?

Water based leather adhesive (like Supex 309) is used for bonding leather to leather, fabric, foam, PVC, wood, and other materials in footwear (shoes, soles), leather goods (bags, belts, wallets), upholstery (sofas, car seats), and crafts. It provides strong, flexible, eco-friendly bonds without harmful solvents.

2. Is Supex 309 water based leather adhesive solvent-free and eco-friendly?

Yes, it is solvent free ( being water based ) and it is labelled as “eco-friendly,” “environmentally safe,” and “green,” it supports sustainable manufacturing, reduces environmental impact, and is fully REACH compliant for lower ecological footprint.

3. How to apply water based leather adhesive (spray/brush)?
  • Spray method (preferred for uniform coverage): Use a spray gun. Hold 20–30 cm (about 0.2 m) from the surface. Apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces in light, overlapping passes. Multiple thin layers work better than one thick one.
  • Brush/roller method (ideal for smaller jobs): Use a brush or roller to spread a thin, even layer on both surfaces.
4. Advantages of water based leather adhesive over traditional glues?
  1. Zero VOCs & Solvent-Free → Completely safe for workers, no toxic fumes, non-flammable.
  2. Eco-Friendly & REACH Compliant → Green choice, reduces environDrying time and bond strength of Supex 309 water based adhesivemental impact.
  3. No Odour → Pleasant workplace, ideal for indoor production.
  4. Easy Cleanup with Water → No expensive thinners needed.
  5. Sprayable & Brushable → Uniform thin coats, less wastage, faster application.
  6. Strong & Flexible Bonds → Matches or exceeds solvent glue strength with better heat resistance.
  7. Safer Storage & Transport → Non-hazardous classification cuts logistics costs.
  8. Health Compliant → Perfect for export brands requiring low-VOC certification.
5. Drying time and bond strength of Supex 309 water based adhesive?
  • Drying/Tack Time: Quick tack achieved within a few minutes (light-pressure bonding possible shortly after application). It dries rapidly, ideal for high-speed production lines.
  • Full Cure Time: Typically within 24 hours, depending on humidity, temperature, and application thickness. Gentle heat (50–60°C) can accelerate and enhance the bond.
  • Bond Strength: High bond strength with strong, durable, permanent bonds. It offers excellent heat resistance (up to 80°C in some references), high initial grip (especially when sprayed), peel resistance, and flexible yet tough performance that withstands stress without cracking or peeling over time.

Water Based Leather Adhesive vs Solvent-Based: Key Comparison

AspectWater-Based (e.g., Supex 309)Solvent-Based
Safety & HealthLow/no VOCs, odorless, non-flammable, safer indoors & for workersHigh VOCs, strong fumes, requires ventilation, higher health risks
Environmental ImpactEco-friendly, minimal emissions, lower waste (higher solids content)Higher pollution, greater VOC footprint, more waste from evaporation
Drying TimeLonger dry time, needs patience or heat for full cureFaster drying & quicker initial grab
Application & CleanupEasy water cleanup, removable excess, less mess on leatherHarder cleanup, can leave marks/residues if not careful
Bond Strength & DurabilityFlexible, strong for footwear/upholstery/bags; good heat resistance in premium formulasOften stronger initial bond, better for oily/heavy-duty leather, superior water/chemical resistance
Effect on LeatherSofter bonds, minimal hardening/staining; may shrink slightly if over-appliedCan harden leather or penetrate thin materials, risking stains
Best ForEco-conscious manufacturing, indoor use, flexible leather goods (shoes, bags, upholstery)Extreme durability needs, oily/waxy leather, heavy-duty repairs
DrawbacksSlower set, potentially less resistant to harsh conditionsFumes, flammability, environmental/health concerns
Applications

Supex 309 is a versatile, water-based adhesive designed for professional use in manufacturing and assembly environments that prioritize safety and sustainability. It provides a strong, flexible, and fast-drying bond ideal for a wide range of materials.

Typical applications include:

  • Leather goods manufacturing — handbags, wallets, belts, and accessories

  • Upholstery and furniture — bonding leather, foam, and fabric materials

  • Footwear production — attaching soles, insoles, and lining materials

  • Multi-material assembly lines — effective on PVC, foam, rubber, fabric, and composites

Supex 309 delivers industrial-grade performance while supporting eco-conscious production processes with its solvent-free, low-VOC formulation.

Surface Preparation

  • Ensure all bonding surfaces (leather, foam, PVC, etc.) are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or release agents.

  • For smooth leather, lightly roughen the surface to improve adhesion.

Application

  • For best results, apply the adhesive using a spray gun for an even, thin coating.

  • For smaller applications, a brush or roller may also be used.

Bonding

  • Allow the adhesive to tack—it should be partially dry with no wet transfer.

  • Align and press both surfaces together firmly using a hand roller, press, or a hammer with a protective cloth.

Drying Time

  • Quick tack: Achieved within a few minutes for light-pressure bonding.

  • Full cure: Typically within 24 hours, depending on humidity and temperature.

Tips for Best Results

  • Apply thin, even coats—multiple light layers provide stronger adhesion than a single heavy one.

  • Gentle heat activation (50–60°C) can enhance bond strength.

  • Always store the container tightly sealed to prevent premature drying.
