PU Adhesive for Fire Doors
Single-component, moisture-cure polyurethane adhesive (SPC-HF101) for laminating fire-door skins to fire-resistant cores — bonding steel, stainless and wood facings to perlite, rock wool, magnesium and calcium-silicate boards with a strong, fire-rated, formaldehyde-free bond.
A fire-rated adhesive built for the door line
SPC SPC-HF101 is a single-component, moisture-cure polyurethane that bonds fire-door skins to fire-resistant cores with ≥15 MPa metal-to-metal strength — on board cores the substrate fails before the bond. It provides an open time of 40–50 minutes at 25 °C, cures in <4–5 h, resists high and low temperatures, and carries GB 8624 fire, low-flame-spread, toluene-free and formaldehyde-free certification. After curing the glue line is insoluble and non-melting.
Bonds Every Door Skin to Every Core
One polyurethane adhesive laminates fire-door face sheets to the full range of fire-resistant cores — for steel, wooden and stainless fire doors.

Types of Fire-Door Adhesive — and Which to Choose
Fire doors are assembled with several adhesive chemistries. SPC’s single-component SPC-HF101 polyurethane is the choice for fire-rated, structural skin-to-core bonds.
| Adhesive type | Components | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1K PU (SPC-HF101) | Single-component | Fire-door skin-to-core lamination | Moisture-cure, ≥15 MPa, GB 8624 fire-rated, formaldehyde-free. SPC core product. |
| Two-component PU | A + B | High-volume structural panels | Chemical cure, humidity-independent; needs metering. Available on request. |
| Neoprene / solvent contact | 1K | Quick tack, low-spec doors | Solvent-based; lower heat / aging resistance and higher VOC — not ideal for fire-rated cores. |
| Hot-melt (EVA) | 1K | Edge / trim bonding | Softens and re-melts with heat — not for fire-rated structural cores. |

Where SPC Fire-Door Adhesive Is Used
From steel fire-door lines to decorative fireproof board, SPC-HF101 bonds skins to cores across the fire-rated building-products industry.
Engineered Performance
Strong, fire-rated and clean — the profile fire-door lines require.
High bond ≥15 MPa
Metal-to-metal tensile strength ≥15 MPa; on board cores the core fails before the glue line.
Fire-rated
GB 8624-2006 type-tested, low-flame-spread report and smoke toxicity grade ZA1 (GB/T 20285-2006).
Toluene & formaldehyde-free
Certified free of added toluene and formaldehyde — suited to indoor air and green building.
Insoluble & heat-stable
Once moisture-cured the glue line is insoluble and non-melting, with high and low-temperature resistance.
How to Apply SPC-HF101
A simple single-component workflow — no mixing, cured by ambient moisture.
Clean the surface
Remove oil and dust from the skin and core surfaces to be bonded.
Apply single-side
Spread evenly with a toothed scraper or roll coater. Confirm coating weight on the actual skin/core combination before production.
Composite & press
Lay up skin and core and press. To speed cure, spray a little water mist on the glue line first.
Cure
Maintain pressure during cure. Full cure is <4–5 h (adjustable); a light water mist can accelerate cure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fire-door adhesive (SPC-HF101) — technical answers for door manufacturers.
What adhesive is used to make fire doors?
A single-component moisture-cure polyurethane — SPC SPC-HF101. It laminates steel, stainless and wood door skins to fire-resistant cores (perlite, rock wool, magnesium, calcium-silicate, vermiculite), with ≥15 MPa metal-to-metal strength and a fire-rated, formaldehyde-free glue line.
Is the adhesive fire-rated?
Yes. SPC-HF101 is type-tested to GB 8624-2006, carries a low-flame-spread report, and reaches smoke toxicity grade ZA1 under GB/T 20285-2006 — suitable for fire doors.
What door skins and cores does it bond?
Skins: galvanized / color steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, and steel-wood / wooden facings. Cores: expanded perlite, rock wool, magnesium and calcium-silicate board, vermiculite slab, paper honeycomb and gypsum board.
Is it formaldehyde-free and toluene-free?
Yes — national coating-quality reports certify no added formaldehyde and no added toluene, so it suits indoor-air and green-building requirements.
How strong is the bond?
Metal-to-metal tensile strength is ≥15 MPa. On non-metal cores such as perlite or gypsum board, the core itself fails before the glue line.
How much adhesive do I need (coverage)?
The controlled TDS does not set one universal coating weight. Confirm it by trial on the actual facing, core porosity and press cycle before production.
How long is the surface-dry and full cure time?
Open time is 40–50 minutes at 25 °C and full cure is <4–5 hours (adjustable). A light water mist can accelerate moisture cure.
How is it applied?
Clean off oil and dust, spread the glue single-side with a toothed scraper or roll coater, composite the skin and core and press. Tools clean up with ethyl acetate.
What is the shelf life and how should it be stored?
Store dry, cool and sealed. Shelf life is six months unopened; reseal part-used drums immediately to prevent moisture ingress.
Do you offer samples, TDS, certificates, MOQ and OEM?
Yes. We provide a full TDS, fire and indoor-air certificates, free samples, and OEM / private-label supply with manufacturer-friendly MOQs. Contact us for a quote matched to your door build.
