Re. Kreibich et al., APPLICATION OF HONEYMOON COLD-SET ADHESIVE SYSTEMS FOR STRUCTURAL ENDJOINTS IN NORTH-AMERICA, Forest products journal, 43(7-8), 1993, pp. 45-48
High quality, structural end joints can be cold-set at mill speed usin
g a two-component honeymoon adhesive system composed of southern pine
bark or pecan shell membrane tannin and a modified, commercially avail
able, phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde resin. Adhesive costs of a fully
waterproof glueline are approximately $0.60/lb. of applied adhesive mi
x compared to $0.80/lb. for current melamine-formaldehyde adhesives. C
apital and processing costs are reduced by eliminating the radio-frequ
ency generator used in most laminating plants.
