Applications & Uses

Application area and materials

For window and door bonding, lamellae and finger-joints for non-structural applications, divider and element manufacture, general bonding of woods and composites in kitchen, laboratory, and interior construction, as well as for the protected outdoor area. For adhesive bonding of bare and brushed aluminum sheet, chrome-plated steel and uncorroded metals onto particleboard, wood fiber panels and plywood, and for laminating barrier veneers onto aluminum. Anodized aluminum only after preliminary examination. Suitable for high frequency bonding.

Application data

The curing behavior of PVAc dispersions depends on the absorbency and strength of the adherends, as well as the ambient temperature and press temperature. The specified figures are guideline values and are based on results of tests on precision bonds made under standard climatic conditions (20°C and 65% relative humidity). Deviations are possible depending on the type of use.

Application

It is essential that the surfaces are clean and grease-free in order to provide the best adhesion and quality of join. Apply the adhesive to one of the surfaces, or to both surfaces for hardwoods and exotic woods, and for slotted/tenon joints. For edge bonding and soft-forming with the cold-glue activation process, the edging materials first have to be precoated with Collano DW 2040.

Minimum press time

  • 20 °C > 15 minutes
  • 70 °C: > 40 seconds
  • High frequency press: > 15 seconds
  • Wood-metal bonding at 20 °C: > 60 minutes

Additional details

In contact with iron, adhesive may cause wood discoloration. Water-resistance of the seal is increased by adding 5% (by weight) of Collano Hardener HR 910. Mix well with hardener. Mixture can be processed for 12 hours. Metal surfaces can be covered with a surface protective cover which must be removed. It is essential to do preliminary trials. Always glue metals without using hardener. Due to the risk of corrosion, all parts which come in contact with this glue during processing must be made of stainless steel (quality V4A) or synthetic material.

Clean-up

With water before adhesive has dried.
