Everbuild D4 Premium Wood Adhesive | Industrial Grade Wood Ahesive, Based on Hybrid Resin Technology - Suitable for General Wood Working - White - 1 Litre

Product Information

Litre Solvent Free External High Grade Industrial D4 Wood Adhesive Based on the latest hybrid resin technology. D4: Bespoke furniture. High quality joinery, including windows, doors etc. in extreme situations. Timber frame applications including the bonding of chipboard flooring. D references of adhesives are commonly used to identify the water resistance of wood bonding adhesives, but strictly speaking they relate to the durability of the adhesive, not just the water resistance. The standard used to determine the durability class is EN 204: 2001 –“Classification of thermoplastic wood adhesives for non-structural applications”.

Another feature to look out for is the shelf life. D4 PVA is less stable than D1, D2, and D3 adhesives and most of them only have a recommended shelf life of 3 months. There are a handful, including Woodstikk D4 PVA,which have a shelf life of 6 months if stored correctly. If the grade is classified as D4, then that means that it should have gone through the testing to ensure that it does meet the requirements. The full D4 classifcation is set out in the EN 204 standard.The next step up on the durability scale are D2 adhesives. Like D1 adhesives, you should only use D2 glues for indoor work. These adhesives can cope with occasional short term exposure to water or moisture and temporary high humidity. However, the moisture content of the wood must not exceed 18%. D2 has a seven-day shelf life in normal conditions and has a required bond strength of less than 10 N/mm2. If submerged in cold water for three hours and stored for a further seven days, however, D2 has a required bond strength of less than 8 N/mm2. D3 Adhesives Everbuild D4 Wood Adhesive can be used internally and externally and gives a high strength, water resistant, impact and temperature resistant bond If you require a fully “waterproof” adhesive for bonding wood, you will need to use a phenol resorcinol resin system, e.g. Prefere 4050, or a melamine urea resin system e.g. Prefere 4535. DESCRIPTION OF DURABILITY CLASSES If the grade is classified as D3, then that means that it should have gone through the testing to ensure that it does meet the requirements, which give it its water reisistance. The full D3classifcation is set out in the EN 204 standard. Ideal for all general woodworking and joinery uses, assembly line work, RF HF cure systems, wood on wood laminating, furniture assembly and house hold DIY use.

Practically D1 and D2 are considered to be “interior grade” adhesives and should not be used anywhere where a high level of durability is required.

D4 PU adhesives are often considered to be waterproof. You can use D4 PU adhesives in interior areas where there is frequent long term exposure to water or moisture. You can also use D4 PU adhesives in exterior areas exposed to weather, so long as you apply an adequate surface coating. In normal conditions, D4 PU adhesives have a seven-day shelf life with a required bond strength of less than 10 N/mm2. If you store it in cold water for four days, the required bond strength reduces to less than 4 N/mm2. This required bond strength can be maintained if placed in boiling water for six hours, then cold water for two. D3: High quality joinery, furniture making and veneering including flat panel lamination with plastic laminates. Suitable for interior and exterior use, once applied D4 Chipboard Flooring Glue produces a foaming action causing the adhesive to foam out of the joints creating a ridge that enhances the protection of the joint – this can be easily removed once the floor is complete leaving a rigid bond that helps prevent squeaky floor boards. If you are new to using PU adhesives, you may be wondering why they have a D in their title. You might be asking just how a D4 PU adhesive is any different to a D3 or D2 adhesive? It might be easy to tell a Tytex 1 kg 30 Min Set PU Adhesive from a Tytex 1 kg D4 PVA Adhesive. However, the D grade stands for durability and is part of the European standard BS EN 204 which governs the classification of wood glues for non-structural applications, and it helps to show how resistant the adhesive is to water. There are four durability gradings specified, so let us look at D1 through D4 adhesives. Durability Classes: D1 Adhesives: All PU adhesives which are single component MCPU adhesive are likely to conform to the D4 requirements by default as polyurethane is extremely tough and weather resistant.
