Applications

Vacuum Membrane Press

Provides excellent wet tack and heat resistance for 3D lamination of PVC and decorative films on MDF panels. Ensures smooth surface coverage and bubble-free adhesion under high temperature and vacuum pressure.

Wood Jointing

Delivers strong, flexible bonding for solid wood assembly and edge gluing. Offers fast setting, good sandability, and superior joint strength.

Wooden Doors

Ideal for lamination, veneer bonding, and core assembly in door manufacturing. Ensures long open time and stable bonding performance even under variable humidity conditions.

FAQs

Q1: What are the main benefits of using water-based adhesives over solvent-based ones?

Water-based adhesives are non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly. They reduce VOC emissions and provide a safer working environment while maintaining strong and durable bonds for wood and furniture production.

Q2: How can I improve drying and curing time for water-based adhesives?

Ensure proper air circulation, temperature, and humidity control in the working environment. Using a thin, even coating and suitable substrate moisture content also helps accelerate drying.

Q3: Are water-based adhesives suitable for heat and pressure lamination?

Yes. IWG’s crosslinking water-based formulations are specially designed for vacuum membrane presses and hot lamination processes, offering excellent adhesion and resistance to heat deformation.
