THE PROOF IS IN THE PERFORMANCE
The Challenge: A manufacturer of engineered glulam beams was searching for a high performance, cost-effective, easy-to-use and environmentally responsible structural adhesive that could increase production efficiency.
The Solution: Henkel’s PURBOND® brand, a new one-component, formaldehyde- and solvent-free moisture-curing liquid polyurethane, met the structural bond requirements. Its ability to rapidly set without heat, combined with a variety of open times, allowed for significant improvements in production efficiencies. PURBOND is easy to apply and eliminates the chance of substandard bonds caused by off-ratio or poor mixing that could occur with traditional two-part structural adhesive systems.
The Results: The customer was able to reduce adhesive usage by over 50%, imrpove cold press productivity five-fold and reduce the company’s carbon footprint. And, because PURBOND products are 100% solid, shipping costs could be reduced by more than 50% versus traditional structural adhesive systems.
