Expert Adhesives: Lasting Solutions For Skilled Trades And The Building Elements Industry: Jowat At HOLZ-HANDWERK And FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026

From March 24 to 27, when the woodworking sector and the international window, door and facade industry gather in Nuremberg for HOLZ-HANDWERK and FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, Jowat will present a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance, reliable and sustainable adhesive solutions. The company’s focus will be on new edgebanding products, advanced assembly adhesives for workshops and job sites, and tried-and-trusted systems for demanding building elements.

Precision edgebanding for top-quality furniture
This year, Jowat once again demonstrates what modern PUR technology for edgebanding has to deliver: safety, performance and efficiency. Jowatherm PUR MR 608.90 combines highest bonding quality with modern occupational safety standards. Its thin, almost invisible premium glue lines enable a flawless, high-end finish on demanding furniture surfaces. One key advantage is its availability as an easy-to-process granulate, making Jowatherm PUR MR 608.90 ideal for flexible production workflows.

At HOLZ-HANDWERK, Jowat will also introduce a new product. Characterized by high yield, exceptional initial strength, and particularly easy and clean processing, Jowatherm PUR 607.20 is a versatile PUR hot melt adhesive that impresses in small workshop environments as well as in industrial applications. “A true all-around solution,” summarizes Pia Strompen, product manager at Jowat, with a smile.

New 1K SMP assembly adhesives: versatile, reliable and powerful
With the launch of a new product family based on silane-modified polymers, Jowat is expanding its range of assembly adhesives for woodworking shops and construction sites. The 1K SMP adhesives do not foam, are free from isocyanates and solvents, and offer an exceptionally broad range of applications.

The paste-like Jowat 695.00 stands out for its versatility and colorless, transparent appearance—an important benefit when bondlines remain visible. With Jowat 695.50, the Detmold-based adhesive manufacturer adds a low-viscosity option to the range, which is available in a convenient squeeze bottle for quick use and can also be applied with a spatula or a roller. A crucial benefit: Jowat 695.50 meets D4 classification in accordance with EN 204/205, and can therefore be used for applications requiring increased moisture resistance.

1K PUR systems for maximum durability
For applications requiring very high moisture or heat resistance, Jowat provides two powerful 1K PUR adhesives for assembly bonding: the well-established Jowapur 685.16 and the newly developed Jowapur 685.10. These paste-like products form a stable bead, do not drip, and adhere to a wide variety of materials, making them the preferred choice for demanding assembly operations in skilled trades and construction.

New application possibilities with PUR hot melt sticks
In partnership with STEINEL TOOLS GmbH, Jowat is introducing another innovation: PUR hot melt adhesives in convenient stick form. They combine the fast setting speed of classic hot melt adhesives with the exceptional strength and resistance of PUR systems, opening entirely new application possibilities in workshops and on construction sites.

At the same time, STEINEL will present a new generation of hot glue guns specifically designed for processing PUR hot melt adhesives. Jointly developed by STEINEL and Jowat, these devices have been completely redesigned and optimized to meet the unique requirements of this adhesive technology.

Tried and trusted for building elements
Jowat also supports the building elements industry with a comprehensive range of solutions. Whether for windows, doors, flooring, ceilings or insulation elements—the portfolio provides the right adhesive system for nearly every material combination and requirement.

At FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, Jowat will again feature its flagship product, Jowatherm PUR MR 604.90. This PUR hot melt adhesive for wrapping PVC or aluminum profiles is free from GHS hazard pictograms and approved in accordance with RAL GZ-716. When used in combination with the primer Jowat 406.85, manufacturers can achieve state-of-the-art production processes. Specially developed for vacuum-based application technology, this primer is VOC-, NEP- and NOP-free (below detection limits) and supports efficient, future-ready manufacturing, independently of whether felt or vacuum application methods are used.

“This established dual-event format allows us again to address a wide range of topics in one week, which adds real value for customers and prospects. From assembly adhesives for the skilled trades to modern industrial adhesives for serial construction—the trade fair event in Nuremberg is always a fixture on our calendar,” says Ingo Horsthemke, vice president for global marketing.

Visit Jowat at HOLZ-HANDWERK and FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026 in Nuremberg to firsthand experience innovative adhesive solutions for the trades and building elements. You will find Jowat’s adhesive experts in hall 10.0, booth 10.0-110.
