The adhesives used in the composite panel and decorative surfaces are designed with advanced chemistry to deliver exceptional bonding strength. With a variety of environmentally sound options available, there's an adhesive solution for every application.
Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA), or “white glue,” is a great choice for woodworkers, while aliphatic resin emulsions, commonly known as “yellow glue,” offer a stronger initial grip. Both adhesives are known for their reliable performance, time-tested durability, and extensive use in woodworking, including the assembly of five-piece cabinet doors.
Polyurethane reactive adhesives (PUR) are commonly used as top coatings for veneers and printed décor sheets. These adhesives provide extreme durability and customizable gloss levels. Often applied in dust-free clean rooms for smooth, high-gloss finishes, PUR adhesives are particularly valuable for profile wrapping and other two-dimensional (2D) applications, offering flexibility and superior protection.
Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA), often available in pellet form, are thermoplastic adhesives that soften with heat and cure at ambient temperatures. Liquid spray adhesives can be formulated for extended curing times and are often fully cured with higher temperatures and pressure in traditional or membrane presses.
With a wide range of adhesive types available, it's essential to consult with your supplier to find or engineer the perfect solution for your unique needs.
