VYNYL GLUES

Vinyl glues are thermoplastic adhesives based on polyvinyl acetate PVAc as binder. They are supplied as a ready-to-use dispersion in water. This water-based system hardens physically by drying out.

Vinyl glues are used in carpentry for a wide variety of applications: they are used for bonding soft and hard woods, for HPL surface bonding, for gluing board gaps. The addition of hardeners boosts the adhesive properties of these glues.

One of the most important classifications for vinyl glues is the durability class as per EN 204.

There are 4 main types of durability grading, running from D1 to D4.

The differences between these are listed below:

D1: Interior areas, where the temperature only occasionally exceeds 50°C for a short time and the moisture content of the wood is 15% maximum D2: Interior areas, with occasional short term exposure to running or condensed water and/or to occasional high humidity, provided the moisture content of the wood does not exceed 18% D3: Interior areas, with frequent short-term exposure to running or condensed water and/or heavy exposure to high humidity. Exterior areas not exposed to weather D4: Interior areas with frequent long-term exposure to running or condensed water. Exterior areas exposed to weather
