“Picture a building that does more than shield against the elements—it tells the story of an unseen but critical component in modern construction.” – Jowat.
Jowat has literally composed building display and that story brought to life, showcasing how smart bonding solutions hold the world together. A closer look at the robust and durable model reveals more than 16 bonding applications integrated into a single structure— from flooring systems to facades, from interior doors to the roof—each one a testament to the versatility of adhesives.
From March 24 to 27, when the woodworking sector and the international window, door and facade industry gather in Nuremberg for HOLZ-HANDWERK and FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, Jowat will present a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance, reliable and sustainable adhesive solutions. The company’s focus will be on new edgebanding products, advanced assembly adhesives for workshops and job sites, and tried-and-trusted systems for demanding building elements.
Intelligent adhesive solutions are becoming indispensable across a growing range of construction products and building components. Apart from contributing to the long service life of building elements, these high-performance adhesives also provide tangible benefits for manufacturing processes and the end product.
Each building element serves a unique and essential purpose, and requirements for the manufacturing process can vary widely. Jowat supplies tailor-made adhesives for these applications and requirements, which have been developed for efficient manufacturing processes, high environmental resistance and reliable bonding across diverse material combinations.
Precision edgebanding for top-quality furniture
This year, Jowat once again demonstrates what modern PUR technology for edgebanding has to deliver: safety, performance and efficiency. Jowatherm® PUR MR 608.90 combines highest bonding quality with modern occupational safety standards. Its thin, almost invisible premium glue lines enable a flawless, high-end finish on demanding furniture surfaces. One key advantage is its availability as an easy-to-process granulate, making Jowatherm® PUR MR 608.90 ideal for flexible production workflows.
At HOLZ-HANDWERK, Jowat will also introduce a new product. Characterized by high yield, exceptional initial strength, and particularly easy and clean processing, Jowatherm® PUR 607.20 is a versatile PUR hot melt adhesive that impresses in small workshop environments as well as in industrial applications. “A true all-around solution,” summarizes Pia Strompen, product manager at Jowat, with a smile.
New 1K SMP assembly adhesives: versatile, reliable and powerful
With the launch of a new product family based on silane-modified polymers, Jowat is expanding its range of assembly adhesives for woodworking shops and construction sites. The 1K SMP adhesives do not foam, are free from isocyanates and solvents, and offer an exceptionally broad range of applications.
The paste-like Jowat® 695.00 stands out for its versatility and colorless, transparent appearance—an important benefit when bondlines remain visible. With Jowat® 695.50, the Detmold-based adhesive manufacturer adds a low-viscosity option to the range, which is available in a convenient squeeze bottle for quick use and can also be applied with a spatula or a roller. A crucial benefit: Jowat® 695.50 meets D4 classification in accordance with EN 204/205, and can therefore be used for applications requiring increased moisture resistance.
1K PUR systems for maximum durability
For applications requiring very high moisture or heat resistance, Jowat provides two powerful 1K PUR adhesives for assembly bonding: the well-established Jowapur® 685.16 and the newly developed Jowapur® 685.10. These paste-like products form a stable bead, do not drip, and adhere to a wide variety of materials, making them the preferred choice for demanding assembly operations in skilled trades and construction.
New application possibilities with PUR hot melt sticks
In partnership with STEINEL TOOLS GmbH, Jowat is introducing another innovation: PUR hot melt adhesives in convenient stick form. They combine the fast setting speed of classic hot melt adhesives with the exceptional strength and resistance of PUR systems, opening entirely new application possibilities in workshops and on construction sites.
At the same time, STEINEL will present a new generation of hot glue guns specifically designed for processing PUR hot melt adhesives. Jointly developed by STEINEL and Jowat, these devices have been completely redesigned and optimised to meet the unique requirements of this adhesive technology.
This display is more than a model—it’s an invitation to explore the often invisible yet vital role adhesives play in modern construction. Adhesives instead of screws, confidence instead of compromise—this is the future of construction.
Because where nails, bolts and mortar fall short, adhesives provide solutions that are lighter, longer-lasting and friendlier to the environment. They are the key to long-lasting and sustainable buildings that meet the rising demand for energy efficiency and weather resistance. Simply put: Adhesives form the foundation for the buildings of tomorrow—not only in the Jowat display.
“We appreciate the many inspiring discussions at BAU in Munich and LIGNA in Hannover, the technical exchanges around the display and the enthusiasm for the world of bonding.” –
