Intercom Ecostick 5020 • Water-Based Leather Glue
Intercom Ecostick 5020 • Water-Based Leather Glue
Ecostick 5020 is a strong, water-based, contact adhesive designed for permanent bonding and applications where solvent based cement is traditionally used. 5020 has a low tack behavior that allows for adjusting the materials before final assembly. It remains workable for up to four hours before setting, ensuring precise positioning. Initial bonding strength is very secure with high resistance to temperatures.
While it forms a permanent bond, for leathers with high grease content, stitching is recommended for added durability.

1816B: HIGH-STRENGTH PERMANENT BOND
1816B is a high-strength adhesive designed for permanent bonding across a wide range of materials, including various types of leather and reinforcements. With a short workable time of approximately 30 minutes before setting, 1816B requires quicker positioning and placement, but delivers the most durable hold. It is ideal for stitch-free applications, will dry 100% clear and will not yellow over time.
5020: MED-HIGH STRENGTH WITH EXTENDED WORK TIME
5020 delivers a strong, reliable bond comparable to cement and solvent-based adhesives, but with an extended work time for adjustments. It remains workable for up to four hours before setting, ensuring precise positioning. While 5020 forms a permanent bond, it is best suited for applications that will be stitched for added durability. For example, a stitched outsole of a shoe.
