Henkel AQUENCE for moulded panel and flush doors

 Moulded panel doors are the prefabricated doors which may be fabricated to fit various applications and operational requirements. Their design structure usually varies with the application area and might use several different materials.
Depending on the application area, superior quality adhesives have to be used to ensure optimal shelf life and meet operational parameters.
Henkel continuously enhances its AQUENCE product range by innovative and sustainable water-based adhesive solutions.
AQUENCE brand has access to the full range of water-based technologies:• Water-based acrylic• Water-based colloids• Water-based PU dispersions• Water-based PVAC• Water-based VAE dispersions

ProcessThe door panels can be fabricated with a smooth or grained surface. The door panels are primed with a water-based primer and anti-metal mark coating, after the pressing process. The anti-metal mark coating is applied to keep the surface clean during the whole manufacturing process. The doors are then cut into required size. Independent door manufacturers then make interior moulded doors from the door panels.
