Plywood Adhesives
Plywood adhesives are synthetic glues made from chemical raw materials through condensation polymerisation. The adhesives used are thermosetting types which cure or harden by the action of heat or catalyst.
- Urea formaldehyde (UF) resin for Moisture-resistant (MR) grade plywood.
- Phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin for Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) grade plywood.
- Hardener for urea formaldehyde resin.
- Filler for phenol formaldehyde resin.
Listed below are some of the resins and additives used in the plywood making.
-
Urea Formaldehyde Resin for MR Grade Plywood
This resin when mixed with wheat flour extender and hardener gives a glue mix for the production of interior plywood. The resultant bond quality will surpass the following international plywood standards namely European Standard (EN) and Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS).
-
Phenol Formaldehyde Resin for WBP Grade Plywood
This resin when mixed with filler gives a glue mix suitable for the production of exterior plywood. The resultant bond quality will surpass the following international plywood standards namely British Standard, BS1455-WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) grade and Japanese Agricultural Standard, JAS Type 1.
-
Hardener for Urea Formaldehyde Resin
Hardener is an active compound that reacts chemically with the glue to assist curing process during hot press. Various chemicals are incorporated into the hardener for their special functions such as preventing dry-cure and increasing moisture resistance of cured glue lines. The rate of chemical reaction is dependent on the types and quantity of hardener added.
-
Filler for Phenol Formaldehyde Resin
- The function of filler in a phenolic glue mix reduces absorption, penetration of the glue into porous veneers and starved joints.
- Active materials are incorporated into our filler, which react chemically with the resin to increase its curing speed. Consequently, the active phenolic resin not only cures at lower temperature and shorter time but also minimizes penetration.
- The amount and types of fillers should be properly used for blending with phenolic resin in order to attain a suitable viscosity range necessary to facilitate spreading and to provide wider operational conditions. In case of doubt, please consult our technical service team.

Paper Impregnation
Impregnation resins for decorative paper consist of low molecular weight urea-formaldehyde (UF), melamine-formaldehyde (MF) and their combinations. This impregnated decorative paper is then used to laminate onto wood products such as particleboard (PB) and medium density fibreboard (MDF).
Decorative paper impregnated with UFMF is bonded directly onto PB or MDF substrate to produce Low Pressure Laminate (LPL) panel.
LPL panels are used in vertical, low impact or low wear applications.
