What is DoD?
Strong when you need it.
Smart when you don’t.
Bonds like a traditional adhesive. Releases cleanly with heat — powering the Rs of circularity.
Reduce
Cuts waste and avoids noisy grinding, sawing and demolition.
Reuse
Components come apart intact, ready for a second life.
Repair
Easy disassembly makes fixes practical and affordable.
Refurbish
Renew products instead of replacing them — no damage to base materials.
Recycle
Multi-layer materials separate cleanly, closing the loop.
How it works
Apply
Apply Kiilto Pro Debond just like a conventional adhesive.
Bond
Materials stay securely bonded during everyday use.
Debond
Heat to a specific temperature and separate without damage.
Reuse
Give materials a second life through repair, reuse, or recycling.
Debonding tools
How do you trigger the debond?
DoD releases with controlled heat. Use the heating tool that best fits your line, workshop or site — there’s no special equipment to buy.
Heat gun
Handheld, fast and precise. Ideal for spot debonding on site and small batches.
Iron / heated press
Direct contact heat for flat surfaces — perfect for textiles, foams and laminated panels.
Infrared lamp
Contactless heating over larger areas. Great for production lines and curved surfaces.
Industrial oven
Bulk debonding in a controlled chamber — efficient for end-of-life processing and recycling.
Hot-air tunnel
Continuous in-line heating for high-volume manufacturing and assembly.
Induction heating
Targeted heat through metal substrates — fast, clean and energy-efficient.
Trigger temperature: typically 80–120 °C depending on the adhesive grade.

Watch DoD release a bond — with heat alone.
Applications
Scaling circularity across industries.
For the first time, multi-layered bonded materials can be separated without damage — enabling reuse and recycling across sectors.
Construction & Renovation
Remove bonded tiles or panels with no damage and no demolition.
Furniture
Enable disassembly, repair and refurbishment of upholstered and multi-material pieces — already proven with Martela and NORNORM.

Martela & NORNORM: circularity, in production.
Martela, a Nordic leader in workplace and learning environments, uses Kiilto Pro Debond on upholstered furniture. When a chair reaches the end of its life, the fabric is removed with heat — without damaging the foam or the frame. Both components can then be reused or recycled.
NORNORM, a subscription-based furniture service serving Netflix, Miro, Electrolux and Klarna, uses DoD to keep furniture in circulation longer — making repair and maintenance practical at scale.
“At NORNORM, we’re making circularity the new norm. Kiilto’s Debonding on Demand technology is an eco-friendly way to make repair and maintenance easy, and circularity achievable.”
— Alexander Bergström, Head of Sourcing, Quality & Circularity, NORNORM
What it unlocks
- Fabric removed with heat
No damage to foam or frame. - Components reused
Foam, frames and textiles recovered cleanly. - Longer product life
Refurbishment becomes practical and affordable. - Lower CO₂
Less waste, fewer replacements, real impact.
Have another use case in mind?
Is there something else you would try the DoD adhesive for? We are always testing new use cases and would love to discuss what you’d need it for.
If your process involves bonding, we’d love to talk.
