Engineered Wood Assembly

Engineered wood products – plywood, particleboard, MDF, laminated veneer lumber – are made by bonding wood fibres, particles, or layers together with adhesive. The glue becomes part of the board structure.

Manufacturing these products needs adhesives that work with high-speed production whilst creating bonds strong enough for building applications. Different fibre types need different formulations, but they all need to meet building code requirements for structural panels.

Manufacturing these products needs adhesives that work with high-speed production whilst creating bonds strong enough for building applications. Cabinet assembly combines different panel types and edge treatments in one construction. The adhesive needs to bond end grain, laminated surfaces, and sometimes dissimilar materials whilst meeting structural requirements.
