Wood is a rather sensitive material, so it is necessary to work with it in accordance with the appropriate technology for its specific type.
Therefore, in this article we would like to tell you about the nuances of gluing wooden elements and whether it is possible to use PVA for this?
What are the advantages of PVA glue?
PVA glue is a fairly universal adhesive composition, therefore it is very popular in different parts of the earth.
Most often it is used for small home repairs and less often when gluing wood in professional workshops.
PVA glue has many advantages. Material:
- It is convenient to work, as it is quickly grasped;
- Non-toxic;
- Durable: withstands loads up to 60 kg/cm2;
- Multifunctional: with the help of it, you can glue a variety of materials, including wood of different breeds.
As for the disadvantages, PVA glue is not resistant to moisture, therefore, in rooms with high humidity, its strength will significantly decrease. And PVA manufacturers do not recommend gluing wet surfaces at all.
What kind of glue reliably glues wood?
The most durable adhesive compositions are those based on polyurethane or epoxy resin.
It is these materials that provide a strong fastening of wooden elements, a long service life even in wet rooms.
High-quality adhesive compositions can reliably glue wood to such surfaces:
- Wooden;
- Concrete;
- Metal;
- Styrofoam.
What kind of wood glue should I choose epoxy or polyurethane?
We recommend paying attention to the polyurethane adhesive for Tekno Deniz Tutkali wood.
The material is characterized by high adhesion, wide scope of operation, durability and resistance to various chemicals. In addition, the polyurethane adhesive composition is water-resistant, so it can be used both on wet surfaces and in rooms with increased moisture without loss of strength and duration of service life.
We conclude that PVA glue can be used for gluing wooden elements, but it will not be as strong and wear-resistant fastening as when using a special polyurethane adhesive composition.
