What is PUR?
Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) Lamination
PUR lamination is an advanced industrial bonding technology used by premium manufacturers worldwide. Unlike traditional water-based glue applied manually by carpenters, PUR adhesive is applied by precision machines and creates a permanent, chemical bond that never fails.
The PUR adhesive reacts with moisture in the air to cure, creating an incredibly strong bond that is heat-resistant up to 150°C and 100% waterproof. Once cured, it cannot be reversed or weakened.
CriLam Decorative operates Kanpur's first PUR lamination facility — giving you access to European-quality laminated products made in India.
10-Year Guarantee
No edge lifting. No delamination. Guaranteed.
The Problem
Problems with Manual Water-Based Glue Pasting
When carpenters manually paste laminate using water-based adhesive, these problems are inevitable
Bubbles & Uneven Surface
Manual glue application creates air pockets and uneven surfaces. Your expensive laminate looks cheap with a wavy finish.
""Itna paisa diya, phir bhi finish smooth nahi hai""
Edge Lifting in 1-2 Years
Water-based adhesive weakens at edges first. Kitchen steam and bathroom humidity cause corners to peel.
""Sirf 2 saal mein kitchen kharab ho gaya""
Laminate Lifting Near Gas Stove
Water-based glue cannot handle cooking heat. Laminate near burners starts bubbling and lifting.
""Gas ke paas laminate uth gaya""
Bathroom & Sink Area Failure
Water splashes weaken the glue bond. Laminate swells, edges lift, and the board underneath starts rotting.
""Bathroom door 6 mahine mein kharab""
