The Proof is in the Performance

The challenge: was searching for a high performance, cost-effective, easy to-use, and environmentally responsible structural adhesive A manufacturer of engineered glulam beams that could increase production efficiency.

The solution:  A  new one component, formaldehyde- and solvent-free moisture-curing liquid polyurethane, met the structural bond requirements. Its ability to rapidly set without heat combined with a variety of open times enabled significant improvements in production efficiencies. The product was easy to apply and eliminated the chance of sub-standard bonds caused by off-ratio or poor mixing that could occur with traditional 2-part structural adhesive systems.

The results:The customer was able to reduce adhesive usage by over 50%, improve cold press productivity 5-fold, and reduce its carbon footprint. And, because the products are 100% solids, shipping costs could be reduced by more than 50% versus traditional structural adhesive systems.

For the latest in sustainability

New one-component, moisture-curing liquid polyurethane adhesive system used to create innovative structural and non-structural wood products.

One-component hot melt systems that cure with moisture and provide immediate green strength and accelerated cure and provide immediate green strength for difficult to-bond profiles. These reactive urethane hot melt adhesives offer excellent stability and durability.

A full range of products including EPI, VAE, PVA, and PUR adhesive technologies to satisfy woodworking, edge/face gluing, edge banding, profile wrapping, finger joint, and laminating needs.
