What are Kenda Farben products?
Kenda Farben is an Italian manufacturer of chemicals and materials for footwear, leather goods, upholstery and other industries. Selection depends on the operation and substrate: bonding components, finishing surfaces, colouring or reinforcing construction. Each family has a specific purpose; check the relevant document and exact variant.
Water-based adhesives — an increasingly popular choice
Consider a water-based adhesive as an alternative to a solvent-based adhesive. ABIMEX can help select a product for your materials and process.
Popular Kenda Farben pack sizes
Commonly selected: 1 kg, 4.5 kg and 15 kg. Larger packs on request. Available sizes depend on the specific product — confirm the variant with ABIMEX.
