When it comes to interior design, wall panels play a vital role in shaping both the aesthetics and functionality of a room. Choosing the right panel type is just as important, with options like HPL, PVC, WPC, MDP, and 3D panels such as gypsum or flexible plastic, each offering unique strengths and specifications to suit different needs. 

Among these, one of the most widely used materials is HPL (High Pressure Laminate), which is a pressed-sheet surface used to enhance furniture and wall durability, beauty, and strength. In Indonesia, AICA Indonesia stands as a leading brand for interior panels and laminates, producing Japanese-quality HPL available in a wide range of patterns, finishes, and sizes. With such variety and reliability, AICA’s HPL has become the top choice among designers, contractors, and homeowners alike.

When working with HPL, selecting the right adhesive is critical. The wrong glue can lead to peeling, uneven bonding, or even surface damage, compromising both safety and appearance. Because HPL requires a specialized contact adhesive, choosing a high-quality glue ensures a seamless, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish. 

One trusted name in this field is Aica-Aibon Glue, a legendary product from AICA Indonesia, known for its strength, reliability, and long-standing reputation. Produced since 1974, Aica-Aibon Glue has long been a household name in Indonesia’s adhesive industry, combining Japanese manufacturing precision with continuous innovation. Over the decades, Aica-Aibon has expanded its product range from adhesives for HPL, foam, and leather, to eco-friendly formulations, all tailored to meet diverse consumer and industrial needs. In this article, we’ll explore key factors to consider when selecting the ideal adhesive for HPL and why Aica-Aibon S+ stands out as the ultimate choice.

ADHESIVE STRENGTH, VISCOSITY, AND OPEN TIME

In HPL installation, adhesive and compressive strength are essential for achieving a flawless finish. Aica-Aibon S+ is specially formulated with high bonding power and consistent pressure resistance, ensuring a durable hold that prevents peeling or bubbling over time.

With a medium viscosity, Aica-Aibon S+ spreads easily with either a brush or roller, allowing for a smooth, even coating. This balanced consistency also minimizes waste and prevents excess adhesive from seeping through the HPL layer. Additionally, the adhesive’s open time of 10–25 minutes provides ideal flexibility during installation, giving users enough time to adjust and align materials perfectly before forming a permanent bond.

CHEMICAL CONTENT & APPLICATION SAFETY

Some HPL adhesives contain harsh chemicals that can damage surfaces or pose health risks if applied incorrectly. In contrast, Aica-Aibon S+ is made with a stable composition and controlled solvent content, making it both effective and safe when used as directed.

The product has been internally tested to ensure it prevents bubbling, yellowing, or staining after installation. And even though it is solvent-based, Aica-Aibon S+ remains safe for indoor use with proper ventilation, ideal for professionals who value a clean, durable, and long-lasting result.

APPLICATION METHODS & ADHESIVE EFFICIENCY

Ease of application is another reason professionals trust Aica-Aibon S+. The adhesive can be applied manually (with a brush, roller, or spatula) or by spray for faster, large-scale use. Simply apply a thin, even layer to both surfaces, let it sit until tacky (semi-dry), and then press firmly for maximum adhesion.

With its economical, easy-to-spread formula, Aica-Aibon S+ helps reduce material waste, streamline work time, and maintain impeccable bonding quality. The result? A strong, smooth, and professional finish that meets the high Japanese standards consistently upheld by AICA Indonesia. 

Whether for furniture, panels, or architectural surfaces, Aica-Aibon S+ delivers the performance and reliability expected from Japan’s leading adhesive technology. If you’re looking for a powerful, proven, and efficient HPL adhesive, the one-size-fits-all solution is Aica-Aibon S+ from AICA Indonesia.
