Overview
Three component and water based polyurethane adhesive for wood is a high-performance bonding system designed for wooden substrates that require strong mechanical durability, moisture resistance and long-term dimensional stability. Because it is waterborne and uses a three-component curing system, it offers excellent adhesion strength while reducing solvent emissions.
This adhesive is widely used in engineered wood production, furniture assembly, flooring systems, interior structural panels and composite wood materials.
Meaning & Description
Three component and water based polyurethane adhesive for wood is a formulation where:
-
Component A: Polyurethane dispersion (PUD)
-
Component B: Polyisocyanate crosslinker
-
Component C: Performance additives / fillers
combine to form a durable, flexible and highly resistant adhesive layer.
The waterborne structure makes it safer, more environmentally friendly and easier to apply compared with solvent-based polyurethane adhesives.
Preparation & Making Procedure
A general procedural outline:
-
Component A Preparation
-
Waterborne polyurethane dispersion is mixed with rheology modifiers, anti-foaming agents and stabilizers.
-
-
Component B Preparation
-
Crosslinking agent (polyisocyanate prepolymer) is stored in a moisture-free container to protect it from premature curing.
-
-
Component C Preparation
-
Additives such as thickening agents, adhesion promoters, plasticizers and fillers are pre-blended for uniformity.
-
-
Mixing for Application
-
Components A, B and C are combined at the required ratio shortly before use.
-
The mixture is stirred until homogeneous.
-
-
Application
-
Applied to wood surfaces via brush, roller or extrusion.
-
Pressure or clamping improves bonding.
-
Curing occurs through chemical crosslinking and water evaporation.
-
