The adhesives is the final necessary key ingredient of a SIP; it bonds the facings to the core. The strength of the glue is an important but often overlooked feature since it has to resist the forces of buckling and racking, resist moisture penetration, and prevent panel delamination.

Foam Laminates of Vermont uses the industry standard urethane glue. This adhesive can bond metal and various types of plastic skins to foam cores. In the case of the structurally insulated panel, this glue bonds EPS to our OSB facings.
