Just like windows and doors, sliding doors are also building elements that are often designed to match the colours of the rest of the house.
They underly same requirements and guidelines as the window industry. Whether traditional sliding patio doors or folding sliding doors, they have long been popular elements for kitchens, conservatories or even in commercial buildings to create a simple, elegant design.

The most widely used colouring process for designing sliding doors is wrapping with decorative foils. This industrial process offers several advantages over lacquering or co-extrusion. One of these is flexibility in production, as multiple colour changes can be made during the ongoing profile lamination process to precisely meet production requirements. At the same time, profile lamination is less dependent on fixed batch sizes and, depending on the laminating system, even very small batches with a ‘quantity of 1’ are possible, meaning that manufacturing companies can work ‘on demand’.
At the same time, decorative foils are available in countless colours, embossing and designs, in various degrees of quality, depending on the destination of the products. For example, some foils are particularly weather-resistant and are also designed for extreme climate zones, as is often the case in Asian countries. Accordingly, TAKA has also developed adhesives that enable the processing of these foils and at the same time are in no way inferior to them in terms of weather resistance.
All adhesive systems for laminating PVC and aluminium sliding doors in TAKA’s product range are certified by the RAL-GZ 716 standard. This means that all PUR adhesives in combination with all primers are subject to strict quality and testing conditions. This ensures the consistent quality of the adhesive systems as well as their function in combination with other components such as profiles and foils.
A particular challenge for the adhesive is the so-called ‘thermolysis/hydrolysis test’, an accelerated ageing test under high temperatures in combination with maximum humidity. This test corresponds to approximately 10 years of outdoor weathering and a film peel test after 6 weeks of climate storage shows the adhesive effect of the adhesive system even after these extreme conditions. All TAKA PVC adhesives pass this test, and our special products for demanding climatic zones even withstand this test for 12-14 weeks. This allows our customers to pass on a quality guarantee to their customers.
TAKA’s ‘LESS’ (Low Emission Systems) product range represents a further development of the classic PUR adhesive systems. These so-called micro-emission adhesives have a reduced content of monomeric diisocyanate of less than 0.1%. This means that these products do not require labelling by the Hazardous Substances Ordinance and are also not subject to the training requirement for the safe handling of isocyanates.
