In today’s modern era, demands for adhesives continue to rise, fueled by the rapid growth and diversification of industries across Indonesia. One of the most sought-after types is yellow glue, a solvent-based adhesive widely used to bond materials such as High Pressure Laminates (HPL), furniture, wood, foam, synthetic leather, and more.

“Lem kuning” or Yellow glue is well-known for its strong bonding power when applied correctly. However, despite its excellent performance, concerns have surfaced around the environmental and social risks associated with its misuse. One of the major concerns is Toluene, which is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinct aroma that does not dissolve in water and is commonly used as a solvent (source: Wikipedia Indonesia). Excessive exposure to toluene can cause harmful health effects, including impaired consciousness and other serious conditions.

At Aica Indonesia, we take these concerns seriously. Driven by a commitment to safety and environmental responsibility, Aica Indonesia has innovated by developing a range of Non-Toluene glue, offering the same superior bonding strength, without the health and environmental risks associated with traditional formulas. 

Aica-Aibon RQ 651 (Non-Toluene)

Through its Aica-Aibon product line, PT Aica Indonesia proudly presents Aica-Aibon RQ 651, a non-toluene yellow glue variant designed for a wide range of bonding applications.

This adhesive is ideal for bonding materials such as:

• Foam (Sponge)
• Plywood/Multiplex
• HPL (High Pressure Laminates

As well as wooden furniture, carpets, synthetic leather, and paper-based materials.

Aica-Aibon RQ 651 is a polish-type adhesive (applied by brushing) and is available in large tin packaging of 11 kg and 15 kg, making it a perfect choice for industrial use.  You can find Aica-Aibon RQ 651 at Aica’s official agents all over Indonesia.

Aica-Aibon SY7 (Non Toluene)

In addition to Aica-Aibon RQ651, PT Aica Indonesia also offers Aica-Aibon SY7, another Non-Toluene adhesive variant designed with both environmental safety and user health in mind. 

What’s the most noticeable difference between Aica-Aibon RQ651 and Aica-Aibon SY7?

While Aica-Aibon RQ651 is a brush-on (polish-type) adhesive, Aica-Aibon SY7 is specially formulated for spray application. This makes SY7 ideal for industries that demand faster production times and use compressors to apply adhesives. However, both products offer equally strong bonding performance, ensuring reliable adhesion across various surfaces.

Aica-Aibon SY7 is primarily designed for:

• Wood Furniture Manufacturing
• Automotive Interior Works (Karoseri)

Other materials include foam, carpets, aluminum, synthetic leather, and plywood/multiplex.

Aica-Aibon SY7 comes in large 15 kg tins, available at Aica's authorized agents across Indonesia. For more information about Aica’s Non-Toluene adhesive line, feel free to contact Aica Indonesia’s Official WhatsApp!
