Strength glue

For maximum strength glue lines, it is necessary to remove all air from the adhesive before using it. Entrapped air represents a source of voids in the cured bond line and, hence, the possibility of a failure. Trapped air is especially noticeable when the adhesive requires... 

The usual practical situation is that in which two solids are bonded by means of some kind of glue or cement. A relatively complex joint is illustrated in Fig. XII-14. The strength of a joint may be measured in various ways. A common standard method is the peel test in which the normal force to separate the joint... 

Terpene phenolic resins can also be added to solvent-borne CR adhesives to increase open tack time and to provide a softer glue line than /-butyl phenolic resins. To provide adequate hot bond strength, these resins are used in combination with a polyisocyanate curing agent. 

Beside of the viscosity of the glue resin itself also the viscosity of the glue mix plays an important role. A higher dilution of the resin gives a higher volume to be spread and with this a better distribution of the resin on the particles or fibers with hence better bonding strength [173]. This also saves costs. 

The influence of wood includes a variety of topics. Wood bonding is often described as a chain of several links wood (substance), wood surface, interface between wood and adhesive, surface of the glue line (boundary layer), glue line itself. As with all chains, the weakest link determines the strength of the chain. In wood gluing, in most cases, the interphase is the weakest link. 

The strength of a glue bond depends on various parameters ...
