Acid temperature control exterior

Curing time is reduced by increasing the curing temperature. Resistance to weather, boiling water, and biodeterioration is satisfactory. Resistance to elevated temperatures is also satisfactory, but inferior to that of heat-cured phenolic and resorcinol adhesives. Excess acidity due to poor control of the acid catalyst content often leads to wood damage on exposure to warm humid air. The durability of joints at high and low temperatures for extended periods is usually acceptable. These adhesives are used for woodwork assemblies, where the service temperature does not exceed 40°C. Applications include furniture construction and, to a minor extent, plywood fabrication. This adhesive is also used to join metal to wood for exterior use [8].
