Ureka Appointed Exclusive UK Distributor for Wakol Adhesives

Ureka Global is proud to announce its appointment as the exclusive UK distributor for Wakol adhesives, strengthening its portfolio of high performance, safety-led bonding solutions for modern manufacturing.

The partnership will initially focus on the Wakol Intercoll Water Based Adhesive range, engineered specifically for bonding applications across the mattress manufacturing, seating and upholstery industries. These sectors demand speed, consistency and operator safety, and Wakol’s technology has been developed with exactly those priorities in mind.

Bringing Hybrid Adhesive Technology to the UK

Wakol’s water based hybrid adhesive systems represent a significant step forward from traditional water based and solvent based technologies. By eliminating solvents and significantly reducing chloroprene rubber (CR) content, Wakol adhesives help remove fire and explosion risks, lower harmful emissions and improve air quality on the factory floor. Selected products carry no GHS08 labelling and support compliance with REACH and VOC regulations.  Hybrid adhesives are able to bond a wider range of substrates than traditional water based polychloroprene latex adhesives, including plastics, metal and wood.

This marks the first time this hybrid adhesive technology has been made available to UK manufacturers, offering a safer and more sustainable alternative without compromising performance.

Faster Production, Immediate Bonding

Designed for high throughput manufacturing environments, Wakol hybrid and drying adhesives deliver aggressive initial tack and rapid force build up, allowing instant bonding without airing or drying times. This enables true inline processing, faster production speeds, reduced work in progress and improved overall production flow.

A Strategic Partnership for UK Manufacturing

This appointment reinforces Ureka Global’s commitment to supplying innovative, high performance adhesive solutions that help UK manufacturers work faster, safer and smarter. By combining Wakol’s advanced adhesive technology with Ureka’s technical expertise and market support, the partnership provides UK customers with a compelling new option for foam bonding applications.
