Adhesive Application - B2Bife 2024

New in Szolvegy portfolio! TISZABOND Contact PUR PUR 1K, adhesive for bonding on MDF veneer

The novelty prepared by Szolvegy from Târgu Mureș is an adhesive dedicated to those who work with MDF. The adhesive has the ability to bond very well frames, decorations or other such objects to the PVC foil applied on the MDF panels. The difference to other products on the market is the long open-phase time. The open phase time of most products is 3-5 hours. In the case of TISZABOND Contact PUR 1K the time is more than 3 months. No, there's no mistake, we're really talking about Monday. It's an important advantage for manufacturers of bathroom and kitchen furniture fronts. So decorations can be prepared well in advance without fear that the adhesive will dry out and the bonding will no longer be effective.

TISZABOND Contact PUR PUR 1K, an adhesive you need if you work with veneered MDF

TISZABOND Contact PUR PUR 1K for membrane presses is intended especially for those who make door fronts of PVC-laminated MDF. The adhesive has the ability to bond different materials to PVC foil. It can also be applied on 3D surfaces. The resulting bond is very strong, water and high temperature resistant.

The main component of the adhesive is a polyurethane-based elastomer. It is in the form of an aqueous dispersion that has a very long open phase time. In practice, the objects to which the adhesive has been applied can still be put in the press after several days. The activation temperature of the adhesive is between 60 and 90°C and the minimum fixing temperature is above 5°C.

TISZABOND Contact PUR 1K has been specially developed for laminating plasticized PVC onto wood, MDF or other wood-derived or wood-replacing materials. It is recommended for vacuum membrane presses. The additive contained in the adhesive has the ability to increase the bond strength at temperatures above 100°C.

Polyurethane adhesives, the right choice for special situations

Polyurethane adhesives are among the most versatile adhesives on the market, capable of bonding a wide range of materials such as wood, ceramics, stone, metal, glass, polyurethane foam and concrete. They can be used from construction and woodworking to repair work and DIY projects. Unlike PVA adhesives, also commonly called wood adhesives, polyurethanes do not need to be absorbed into wood or other materials to bond effectively.

There are many types of polyurethane adhesives dedicated to different fields of work. They are adhesives with many advantages that can solve important problems. Here are just some of their advantages:

  • Versatility. The polyurethane adhesive can bond almost any type of material, including materials that are often difficult to bond, such as damp wood and green wood. This makes it ideal for applications where other adhesives don't work.
  • Bonds difficult areas of wood such as fiber ends. Thanks to its composition, the polyurethane adhesive can bond the fiber ends of wood very well, ensuring a solid and durable connection.
  • Compatible with damp or green wood. Polyurethane adhesives have adhesion even on incompletely dry wood, an essential characteristic in many construction applications or for repairs in harsh environments.
  • Expansion during reaction. One of the unique aspects of polyurethane adhesives is their ability to expand in volume during chemical reaction. This expansion can be advantageous by filling voids or irregularities between bonding surfaces.
  • Reduced reaction time. There are polyurethane adhesives that cure quickly, which can speed up manufacturing and assembly processes.

Polyurethane adhesives are ideal for projects that require a strong and durable bond to a wide variety of materials. Despite their many advantages, the choice of the right adhesive always depends on the specifics of the project and the conditions of use of the object being bonded.
