Wood Adhesives for Furniture Manufacture


Traditional bonding with wood adhesives such as PVA, mean slow setting times of two to three hours being quite normal. In high-turnover businesses, where products like furniture need to be glued, this can cause problems both in time and space restrictions. It can also mean a large amount of sash clamps and similar equipment being needed. 3M’s wood bonding products ensure that you can bond materials quickly and efficiently and increase your productivity while reducing costs.

As bonding with our wood adhesives is so speedy, any residue can be cleaned up almost immediately, which also helps to reduce costs.

3M benefits include:

  • High levels of adhesion
  • Quick and easy assembly
  • Cost effective with increased productivity
  • Easy removal of excess product
  • Less equipment, such as clamps, needed in mass production
