DESCRIPTION
We have developed a new adhesive resin for wood lamination. One issue remains however and we would like to ask you to help us solve it.TRANSCRIPT

Well, this tape is adhesive ;-) These are resins.
This still doesn’t make sense, right?
It is simple,E-850 is a new main component for glue developed by

However...One
important issue
remains

During application of a water borne lacquer,
de-lamination occurs at the edges of the laminate....

and so far, we cannot solve this....
This is what happens...

...and this is what we
tried and learned
ourselves already
11
The adhesive film does not dissolve in water
Conclusion: The adhesive itself is not water sensitive
...and this is what we
tried and learned
ourselves already
11
The adhesive film does not dissolve in water
Conclusion: The adhesive itself is not water sensitive
...and this is what we
tried and learned
ourselves already
There is still adhesive present on the two delaminated sides
Conclusion: Adhesion to wood is good enough
11
The adhesive film does not dissolve in water
Conclusion: The adhesive itself is not water sensitive
...and this is what we
tried and learned
ourselves already
Delamination also occurs by applying water instead of the lacquer
Conclusion: Water is responsible for delamination, not an ingredient in the lacquer

Without lacquer, the
mechanical properties of the laminate are good and outperform current adhesives --
> the adhesive is strong enough

Delamination most probably does not occur during application
of the lacquer, but only during/after drying.
