Polyurethane foam systems, adhesives and casting compounds for automotive and industrial air filters – at this year’s Filtech fair, Zelu will be exhibiting custom, field-proven solutions based on polyurethane, epoxy resin and numerous hot melts. These products can be adjusted to satisfy various specifications, including mechanical properties such as Shore hardness, elongation at break, adhesion to different substrates and chemical resistance. In this way, the materials play their part in the development of innovative and efficient filtration systems.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our booth: Koelnmesse, Hall 8, Booth A31
If you like, we’re more than happy to pre-book a slot with you for a face-to-face meeting. Simply email us:

In the past, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have been used as foaming agents for the majority of integral foams. However, as of 2023, they will be banned under an EU regulation. Zelu’s various products based on alternative agents – water, pentane or hydrofluoroolefins – have proved an effective answer to this problem in practice.

For a wide range of bond types, the strong initial tack with one-sided application is just one of the benefits offered by the new solution from ZELU CHEMIE GmbH. As well as saving time, this also means lower costs thanks to the reduced amount of adhesive.
