Surface gluing refers to the joining of wood pieces and boards either on the broadside or the edge to manufacture multi-layer laminated timber products.

Edge gluing is used among other applications in the manufacture of single-ply panels that are subsequently processed into cross-laminated timber products.

PURBOND adhesives are applied in a suitable application process. After application of the adhesive, the adhesive-coated parts are pressed for a defined period of time in a cold process ? no additional energy (heat) is required.

The following products can be manufactured with the surface application process:

Broadside

• Glued laminated timber
• Duo and trio beams
• Cross beams
• Cross-laminated timber
• Special structural elements
• Log beams

Edge

• Semis for cross-laminated timber
• Box beams
• Edge beams
