Purbond adhesive system. Polyurethane glue for wood Modification of the adhesive composition for the production of laminated veneer lumber

The material was prepared with the help of specialists from the Wooden House Construction Association.

Story log houses dates back several centuries, they have passed all kinds of tests both by time and by people, and have proven their worth, although they also have some specific properties. Structures made of laminated veneer lumber in our country cannot boast of such an impressive track record and, despite their great popularity, are shrouded in a whole set of myths. IN this material We will talk about the most common “horror stories” associated with glue and the technology itself:

  • The technology is “young” - will the lamellas come apart?
  • How harmful is glue to health?
  • How effective is the glue? Will the timber “come apart” in a few years?

Will the lamellas in the timber come apart?

Glued laminated timber is produced by longitudinally gluing several wooden boards(lamellas), wood is used as raw material coniferous species. The characteristics of this material largely depend not only on the adhesive system, but also on the parameters of the lamellas. To prevent the timber from splitting into components over time, the lamellas must meet the following criteria.

Permissible humidity– the board after cutting (usually the lamella thickness is 50 mm) is dried to acceptable levels - 8-15%, but the humidity of adjacent lamellas should not differ by more than 4%. Exceeding these limits is fraught with cracking of the timber after the structure is assembled; the house will not fall apart, but the decorativeness and tightness will definitely suffer.

Quality of lamella preparation– after the initial calibration (minus 1-2 mm), before gluing, a final calibration must be performed on a planing machine; the output geometry must be almost ideal. The error allowed is no more than 0.1 mm per linear meter, “waves” or torn fibers are not acceptable.

If the equipment is worn out, with knives that are dull or sharpened but at the wrong angle, it will not be possible to process the lamella correctly.

Although when sawing, the tension between the wood fibers is removed, which allows finished timber avoid deformation; if the processing technology is violated, the quality of the seam may decrease.

This will lead to disastrous consequences for an already built house.

Finish calibration before gluing is done for alignment geometric size along the entire length of the board so that the beam is of exact dimensions. This is important both for proper gluing and for subsequent cutting of laminated veneer lumber into parts of the house kit. Another 1-3 mm is removed. If there are non-strogs left on the board, it must be set aside for re-processing; gluing with non-strogs is not permissible.

However, our certification of laminated veneer lumber is voluntary, therefore, tests carried out to prove that products comply with the declared characteristics are not practiced in all industries.

In order not to worry about the durability of your home, it makes sense to choose a company that produces timber not according to technical specifications or service stations, but according to GOST 20850 - 2014.

It is the most “fresh” and reflects everything modern requirements to the material.

In addition, products must undergo regular testing in accordance with GOST 33120-2014 and GOST 33121-2014 either in their own laboratories (large enterprises) or in outsourced laboratories (specialized centers). The frequency of tests is up to five times a week, the results are recorded and available for review. That is, high-quality laminated veneer lumber is produced in compliance with the technology in accordance with GOST, it is regularly tested, and upon purchase, all protocols can be viewed.

As for the “youth” of technology, on the contrary, it is already “Balzac’s age.”

It is unrealistic to vouch for every house, but the technology itself has existed since the fifties; there are buildings (mainly for industrial and public purposes) from Soviet times that exist to this day. In Europe, test houses are located on the territory of one of the institutes, they have been monitored for more than fifty years. So far the “flight” is normal. What is characteristic is that these houses are specially made without antiseptic, since main idea research - to determine the behavior of glue joints, and not the wood itself.

It is interesting that in Switzerland, to this day, railway stations built from laminated veneer lumber back in 1910 are in operation, and in the building of the main station in Stockholm (1925) there are load-bearing units made of laminated veneer lumber, and the lamellas are glued together with a casein compound.

Is glue in timber harmful?

The production technology itself involves several adhesive seams in each beam, so potential consumers are most concerned about the environmental friendliness of the material. The timber is produced using various adhesive systems, but most often it is:

  • EPI – emulsion of polymers with isocyanate hardener;
  • MMF – melamine-formaldehyde;
  • PUR – polyurethane adhesive;
  • PVA is a polyvinyl acetate emulsion, prohibited for gluing house-building structures, as it loses strength under static load.

The adhesive systems used in the production of laminated veneer lumber undergo mandatory certification and are environmentally friendly, even if it is MMF. Any glue contains chemicals, but if the glue is of high quality, then all of it polymerizes (converts into solid) when gluing timber. The content of free formaldehyde in the timber will comply with domestic and European standards - EN 14080 and GOST 33122-14.

Unfortunately, it is neither tactile nor visually possible to check whether the manufacturer uses the high-quality glue stated in the documentation, or saves money and makes do with an uncertified system. Therefore, in addition to domestic SES certificates, the plant must also have a personal certificate of the glue manufacturer. The document will indicate that this particular company uses their glue, and that the staff is trained to work with the system. As with everything, when choosing laminated veneer lumber, the rule “trust, but verify” applies.

Oberon

In order not to worry about the environment in the future, ask the manufacturer for Russian and foreign certificates for the glue used. It is quite easy to check a foreign certificate; it indicates the email addresses of the institutions that issued it. Even if you don’t speak the language, you can easily find information within a day, online translators to help, and find out whether such a certificate was issued.

Any remaining doubts can be resolved by asking for a tour of the enterprise, if this is geographically possible - copy the name off the label and check what the glue is.

Will the timber unravel over time?

There are situations when, not even years, but some time after assembly, delamination of the timber is clearly visible on the cuttings; this happened to one of the portal users.

Friends built a large house from laminated veneer lumber; now, due to numerous pieces of glue and poor quality assembly, it is not clear what to do next. The manufacturer of the timber and the developer are one person; whoever produced the timber assembled it. The assembly was done in the fall of 2013, in the winter they put it under a roof, glazed it, and did not heat it in the winter. During assembly, the box was exposed to heavy rains before the roof was assembled. Currently (summer 2014) there are numerous stickers, on almost all walls and cut-outs, along the entire perimeter, inside and out.

The popularity of timber building structures remains consistently high. In addition to heat conservation, wooden structures have high aesthetic qualities. Currently, the most in demand are structures made of solid and profiled timber, which have a fairly high service life when used in various climatic conditions. Recently, customer interest in laminated veneer lumber has been growing due to the fact that the latter provides the most high durability while maintaining the same aesthetics and environmental friendliness. For the production of laminated veneer lumber, adhesive compositions of various chemistry are used - melamine, resorcinol, malamine-formaldehyde, so-called EPI compositions and many other compositions. All of these compositions solve very specific technological problems when gluing timber, and have their pros and cons. A special class of adhesives in this segment are polyurethane systems that combine high adhesive strength, manufacturability, durability, environmental friendliness and maximum ease of tooling. wooden structures made on their basis.

LLC "PU INDUSTRY" sells polyurethane glue for wood. You can buy this product in bulk at a price of RUB 265/kg.

We invite you to purchase polyurethane adhesive for wood and timber.

Glued laminated timber is a popular and in demand material. They are building from it today country dachas, cottages. To fasten the lamellas, special adhesives are used.

They are divided into three types:

  • melamine (after hardening they become transparent, have high adhesion, are used to create highly loaded long-span structures),
  • polyurethane (hardens quickly, gives a light-colored seam, suitable for automatic production lines),
  • isoacetate (EPI-adhesives).

The first and second types of glue are used in Europe, the third more often in Russia. But in general, the most popular are melamine compounds.

In Japan and the USA, resorcinol compounds are used, which give a dark seam.

Choosing glue for laminated timber

  1. - one of the most popular among Russian builders. The Dutch manufacturer managed to develop a composition that is easy to apply, dries quickly, and produces a durable seam. Taking care of safety, the creators of the glue of this brand ensured the absence of toxins; for many years the glue does not decompose and does not interfere with air microcirculation.

In addition to the well-known manufacturer Akzo Nobel, there are other proven compositions on the market.

  1. Homakol is a two-component EPI system designed to work with laminated wood for load-bearing structures, gluing furniture panels, windows, doors. It is odorless and has no volatile solvents. The resulting adhesive joint is resistant to negative impact external environment. Suitable for use with exotic breeds wood, hardwood.
  2. Another well-known glue manufacturer is the Dynea concern. Epi-glue of this brand is deservedly considered one of the best. Does not contain toluene and formaldehyde, approved for use at temperatures from +5C. Has all the necessary certificates and approval from TsNIISK them. Kucherenko. Retains its properties for an hour, copes well with different types wood, and also holds load-bearing structural beams well.

Among the polyurethane compounds, it is worth noting the products of the German brand Kleiberit, which provide a strong and elastic connection and are suitable for working with any type of wood.


Wooden products have to be glued both in production and in everyday life. To obtain a strong and durable connection, it is important to choose a high-quality and suitable adhesive composition. Wood glue should not only reliably hold together natural wood, but also various building materials having a woody base. It is often necessary to glue parts made of metal, ceramics, plastic, etc. to wood. This point must also be taken into account when choosing glue. Currently, few people use homemade carpentry mixtures, even among professionals. The construction market offers a wide range of compositions for working with wood. The following formulations are in greatest demand.

  • The name PVA glue hides a polyvinyl acetate dispersion. It is non-toxic, so the product can be used indoors without exhaust ventilation. PVA glue dries quickly, withstands high static loads, but is afraid of prolonged exposure to a humid environment. Thanks to affordable price it can be used for household purposes.
  • Polyurethane compounds are much more expensive. But they have several important advantages. The seam is able to withstand high dynamic loads, so the glued chair leg will not fall off after some time. The glue is resistant to moisture, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature changes. These qualities allow the items to be used in extreme conditions.
  • Resin-based adhesives are in demand among woodworkers and ordinary homeowners. Many people have repeatedly used epoxies, which ensure the strength of the connection between wood and other materials. Adhesive compositions of this type are not only not afraid of water, but are resistant to the influence of petroleum products and aggressive compounds. When working, care must be taken to protect the skin.
  • Modern synthetic-based adhesives are widely used in mass production wooden products, furniture, windows, doors, etc., are completely harmless and have improved characteristics compared to household mixtures. The only drawback is the higher price.

Our review includes the best adhesives for wood. When compiling the rating, reviews of domestic consumers were taken into account.
