Adhesives and Resins for Furniture
Hexion offers a full range of adhesive solutions for furniture manufacturers and cabinetmakers (as well as flooring, door, moulding and millwork producers). We consider every aspect of your product challenge—including substrate, variety of veneers, and assembly constraints—before recommending the most efficient and cost-effective adhesive solution. Our offering includes:
- Urea-based resins—proven and cost-effective for interior, Type II applications; low-cost option for veneer overlays; fast curing; capable of meeting or exceeding CPA EPP 0.2, E1, EPA TSCA Title VI and CARB II standards; liquid/liquid and liquid/powder options
- Melamine urea-based resins—ideal for Type I applications because of their moisture resistance and strength; liquid/liquid and liquid/powder options (with catalyst and filler); ultra-low-emitting, CARB Phase II-compliant formulations available
- Polyvinyl acetate resins—easy-to-use (no mixing) pre-catalyzed PVAs and inexpensive one-component PVAs available
- Ethylene vinyl acetate resins—properties similar to PVAs; ideal when greater water resistance, lower temperature adhesion or adhesion to nonporous surfaces such as vinyl foils or aluminum are required
We can also help you evaluate, select, and implement processes that move your production line faster and save on finishing.
