Three families.
Every material.
One system.
Ecostick® is Intercom's water-based adhesive range, and it resolves into three families: polychloroprene for contact bonding, polyurethane for structural bonding, and a chloroprene-free pair for restricted-substance lists that exclude it. Choose the family and the range collapses to a handful of codes. All solvent-free, all REACH compliant, all calibrated to run through Intercom's own spray equipment and tested together in the Florence lab before either leaves the building.

Solid content vs. solvent contact cement — less adhesive per bond
01Start here
Three families.
Start with the bond.
Contact, structural, or chloroprene-free. That single decision narrows the whole range to a handful of codes — and it is the decision your bond, not your product, dictates.
Family 01
Polychloroprene
The contact range. High tack the moment the faces meet, long open time, non-flammable, and a viscosity band written for spray. Coupling, folding, lining, belts, insole bandaging, lasting.
5019N · 5020 · 7038 · 9004 · 9005 · 9006 · 9009 · 9009ST · 9015 · 9015ST · 9015ST HV · 9020 · 9030
See the codes →
Family 02
Polyurethane
The structural range. Encapsulated activator, reactivated at the press. Highest final hold, highest temperature resistance, highest oil and grease resistance in the range — sole attachment and anything under load.
1804 · 1809 · 1810 · 1816C · 1816TX · 1820 1K · 1820S 1K · 1830
See the codes →
Family 03
PCP-free
For a restricted-substance list that excludes chloroprene. 1816B cures cold with no reactivation heat and exceptional yellowing resistance; 9010 covers general coupling and folding.

02Shared properties
Twelve properties
every Ecostick® shares.
Whichever code you order, these are constant across the range. They are the reason a European buyer accepts the bond and an operator can stand at the bench all day without a respirator.
REACH compliant
Every component conforms to EU REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006) and to international hazard and safety standards.
Solvent-free
No solvents, no harmful fumes, no occupational-health liability at the bench.
Non-flammable
Removes the fire and storage risk that comes built into solvent contact cements.
Non-allergenic
Hypoallergenic chemistry — safe for prolonged, repeated operator contact.
Lowest VOC
Lowest levels available in the category; several codes at 0% VOC.
No yellowing
Highly stabilised against ageing — critical on white, cream and pastel leathers.
Hydrolysis resistant
High humidity and hydrolysis resistance — survives monsoon storage and container transit.
One-side application
Initial grip strong enough to bond from a single coated face where the operation allows it.
Carefully filtered
Filtered to eliminate lump formation — consistent sprayability, batch after batch.
High viscosity
Stays on the surface instead of soaking in. Works equally on porous, thin and difficult leathers.
High solid content
Roughly three times the solids of solvent contact cement: less adhesive per bond, faster drying.
Long shelf life
Buy in volume and use at your own pace — extended security beyond the purchase date.
03Polychloroprene
The contact range
Water-based polychloroprene: high tack the moment the faces meet, non-flammable, long open time, and a viscosity band written for spray. This is the bulk of the Ecostick® range and the bulk of what a leather-goods floor actually buys in drums — coupling, folding, lining, belts, insole bandaging, shoe lasting.
Ecostick® 5020
Alongside 5019N. Belts, uppers, bags and wallets — a parallel formulation with a different balance of tack and set. Which one fits depends on your materials and your spray device.
BeltUpperBag
Ecostick® 7038
Leather and fabric, one pass. Coupling and folding across leather and woven or nonwoven fabric in the same operation — no code change mid-assembly.
LeatherWovenNonwoven
Ecostick® 9004
Strong initial grip. Bags, wallets and orthopaedic soles. Built for the precision demands of small leather goods, where a piece must stay exactly where the operator placed it.
WalletBagHigh tack
Ecostick® 9005
9000-series premium. Belts, uppers, bags and wallets — part of the premium leather-goods block of the range, specified where the finished article carries a European label.
PremiumBeltBag
Ecostick® 9006
Fabrics, linings, synthetic leather. Coupling and folding on non-leather substrates — engineered for the different surface energy of coated and synthetic faces. Also the garment code.
SyntheticLiningGarment
Ecostick® 9009
Heels and insoles. Engineered for the high shear load of heel attachment and for the surface chemistry of orthopaedic sole and insole materials.
HeelInsoleOrthopaedic
Ecostick® 9009ST
Structured body. ST is strutturato — a heavier body for applications that need gap-fill. Leather and fabrics for belts and bags, and heels where the joint is not perfectly flat.
BeltBagGap-fill
Ecostick® 9015
The synthetics primary. Synthetic leathers, fabrics and linings across bags, shoes and garments — the first code to try on any PU or PVC-faced material.
PUPVCFabric
Ecostick® 9015ST
Structured. The strutturato variant of 9015 — a heavier body for structured fabrics and for joints that need the adhesive to hold its own shape while it sets.
StructuredFabricSynthetic
Ecostick® 9015ST HV
High viscosity. Stays on the surface even on the most difficult leather topographies. It does not penetrate — which makes it the answer for very thin, very soft or very porous material that other adhesives strike through.
Thin leatherPorousNo strike-through
Ecostick® 9020
Finished-product bonding. Bags, belts and wallets. High-performance, clean at the edge, no yellowing — the code for the last bonds before the article goes to inspection.
BagBeltNo yellowing
Ecostick® 9030
The everyday volume code. General-purpose ecological adhesive for leather goods — the drum that sits on the floor of a mixed factory running many product types at once.
VolumeMixed production
Compatible with the natural latex and neoprene adhesives already in use on most Indian leather-goods lines — which means Ecostick® can be introduced one operation at a time rather than as a plant-wide switch.
04Polyurethane
The structural range
Reactive polyurethane with an encapsulated activator that comes into play at reactivation. The highest final hold, the highest temperature resistance and the highest resistance to oils and greases in the range — the chemistry for sole attachment and for any joint that has to survive load rather than handling.
Ecostick® 1804
The workhorse. High-strength permanent bond for coupling and folding leather, hybrid leather, regenerated leather, fabrics, canvas and cardboard. Performs on oily leather up to 15% grease content, and holds on no-stitch applications. Open time around four hours.
LeatherFabricCardboardOpen time ~4h
Ecostick® 1809
General footwear. Leather and fabrics in the shoe-construction context — designed for the structural demands and the multiple substrates of an upper assembly.
UpperLeatherFabric
Ecostick® 1810
Straight leather gluing. A single-purpose leather-to-leather adhesive for factories that want one simple code on the shelf for the commonest job on the floor.
LeatherCoupling
Ecostick® 1816C
The multi-material one. Leather, fabrics, linings and cardboard in one formulation — the broadest substrate range in the family. Also the code used for packaging, cases and albums.
LeatherLiningCardboardBoard
Ecostick® 1816TX
The tuned variant. Coupling and folding leather where 1816B needs optimisation — specific tannages, specific finishes, specific thicknesses. Send us the hide and we will tell you which of the two.
LeatherCouplingFolding
Ecostick® 1820 1K
Sole to upper. The primary adhesive for the critical sole-attachment step. Single-component, ready to use — no hardener, no mixing window, no wasted pot life.
SoleUpper1K · no mixing
Ecostick® 1820S 1K
Sole bonding, S variant. Optimised for specific sole materials and bonding geometries where 1820 needs adjusting — rubber, EVA and polyurethane units in particular.
SoleRubberEVA · PU
Ecostick® 1830
Current generation. Reformulated coupling-and-folding adhesive — the modern replacement for the classic leather-folding codes, with the same handling and improved ageing behaviour.
LeatherFoldingReformulated
05PCP-free
Bonded without chloroprene
Some restricted-substance lists exclude chloroprene outright. Two codes answer that requirement without giving up the bond — 1816B, a polyurethane that cures cold with no reactivation heat and exceptional yellowing resistance, and 9010 for general coupling and folding work.
Ecostick® 1816B
Leather and fabrics. Coupling and folding with high compatibility across both natural and synthetic leather surfaces — the code to reach for when a single product mixes the two.
LeatherSyntheticFabric
Ecostick® 9010
Leather and fabrics, general. Versatile across material types — the code for products where leather and fabric appear together and neither substrate should dictate the adhesive.

Codes are matched to the spray device, not only to the material. The same leather sprayed through an S8 and an S4 wants a different viscosity — which is why we always spec adhesive and machine in one conversation.See the machine range →
