Bonding wood
Timber adhesives for joinery applications
Timber adhesives are used in a wide variety of applications. One of the most common uses is wood bonding in the furniture industry, amongst other general joinery practices. Thanks to the extremely high-quality modern timber adhesives available in the current market, entire wooden structures are increasingly bonded using wood glues, in both interior and exterior applications.
Depending on the application and type of wood used, there are different environmental factors (temperature, UV, water) to consider when selecting a type of wood glue. Soudal offers a range of superior quality adhesives, each conforming precise levels of durability to ensure optimal mechanical resistance and finish.
Durability grades for timber adhesives
Classification of wood adhesives is governed by European Standards, ranging from D1 up to D4. The timber adhesives available from Soudal conform to either D2, D3 or D4 DIN EN 204. D4 is the highest grade with optimal water resistance, suitable for application areas with exposure to running or condensed water; this includes exterior applications exposed to weather conditions.
