SIMALFA China Wins Interzum Award for Debondable Mattress Adhesive

 SIMALFA® debonding adhesive from SIMALFA China has won the Interzum Award 2024 in the "ESG & Sustainability" category. This award highlights the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Boosts Recyclability:

Peelable SIMALFA® debonding adhesive provides a solution that helps in the recyclability of mattresses, making production sustainable and efficient without the need for additional investments. It enables easy separation of mattress layers for upcycling and actively supports the circular economy by lowering material consumption and helping to reduce product carbon footprint.

A key advantage of SIMALFA® debonding adhesive is its seamless integration into existing production processes without the need for additional investments or complex adjustments. Production lines can therefore be switched to more eco-friendly alternatives quickly and without interruption.

The adhesive formulation enables the foam layers to be separated without leaving any residues. This is essential for the recycling of mattress materials to increase the service life of their valuable materials.

The low application quantity of the product ensures that material consumption can be significantly reduced. This not only leads to a reduction in production costs but also to a significant conservation of resources.
