These include PU, synthetic rubber-based, hot melt, and water-based adhesives – along with primers, hardeners, and cleaners. With a strong focus on health, safety, and environmental impact, Pidilite was the first Indian company to introduce VOC-free adhesives for this sector that comply with OSHAS, EPA, REACH, and other global safety standards.

Pidilite’s bio-based adhesives are made using renewable raw materials and are crafted for the leather goods segment. These solutions are a step forward for manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining strong, clean bonds across a variety of substrates. Ideal for bags, wallets, belts, and premium leather accessories, these adhesives offer dependable tack and finish quality, while aligning with evolving brand and buyer sustainability goals.​​

Our water-based adhesives are developed to meet the growing need for safer, cleaner production environments without sacrificing bond quality. These adhesives are ideal for sole attachment and general assembly, offering strong adhesion on materials like TPR, PU, EVA, leather, and synthetics. They are non-flammable and low in VOCs, which simplifies handling and improves shop floor safety. Designed to integrate easily into existing production lines, they deliver dependable performance and material flexibility for both high-volume and specialised footwear.​​

Hot melt adhesives from Pidilite are VOC-free, 100% solid formulations that provide clean, efficient bonding across fast-paced production settings. They are applied with heated tools for precise placement and strong tack, making them ideal for upper assembly, back counter fixing, sock liner lamination, and leather goods applications. These adhesives also eliminate extra steps like stitching in certain areas, helping speed up production without compromising durability or finish. Their long open time and high versatility make them valuable in both manual and automated workflows.​​

Our primers and cleaners are formulated to work across a variety of materials used in footwear and leather goods ranging from rubber and synthetics to treated leathers. Developed through advanced R&D, these products improve the surface energy and cleanliness of substrates, ensuring better initial tack and longer-lasting bonds. They support smoother operations, reduce rework, and play a key role in ensuring consistent adhesion across varied production conditions.​​
