Tytex D3 PVA is suitable for general assembly and lamination on particleboard and MDF.
Materials to be bonded should be clean, dry and free from dust and grease. For laminations, surfaces should be homogenous and flat. Assemblies should be precise in order to avoid thick adhesive lines (0.2-0.3mm max). Wood should be allowed to condition for several days in the workshop atmosphere (15-20°C) before bonding. It’s relative humidity should be approx. 10-20%.
For laminations, apply an even coat of adhesive to one of the substrates by roller coater, brush or spatula.
For assembly applications we recommend that both surfaces should be coated. Coating weight depends on the substrate, porosity, open time and ambient temperature.
The parts to be bonded should be brought together immediately after application whilst the adhesive is still wet. The maximum open time depends on the substrate porosity, ambient temperature and coating weight.
