Product Overview
TH-V7900 Outdoor EPI Adhesive (EN 204/D4) is a premium two-component Emulsion Polymer Isocyanate (EPI) system specially engineered by TH-BOND for edge-gluing hardwoods and exotic premium outdoor timbers. Driven by a major breakthrough in sustainable crosslinking formulation, the product perfectly complies with two of the most rigorous international quality standards: EN 204/D4 and ASTM D5751. Completely distinguishing itself from conventional wood glues, TH-V7900 provides exceptional water, solvent, and mild chemical resistance combined with extreme outdoor weatherability, making it the premier choice for load-bearing timber structures and exterior furniture.
Key Features & Technical Applications
The product delivers outstanding technical performance indicators, optimized for premium export woodworking sectors:
- High Bond Durability: Provides ultra-strong adhesion to complex hardwood species and heat-treated (thermally modified) timbers.
- Oily Surface Adaptation: Exhibits excellent wetting and bonding on surfaces containing natural essential oils characteristic of premium exotics.
- Superior Weather Resistance: Validated by EN 204/D4 and ASTM D5751 certifications for water immersion, heat resistance, and outdoor UV durability.
- Versatile Applications: Widely utilized in manufacturing garden furniture, exterior doors, outdoor louvers, exterior decking, and high load-bearing timber joints.
Detailed Application Guide
To achieve ideal mechanical bond strength and maximum exterior durability, please strictly adhere to the manufacturer's standard workflow:
- 1. Surface Preparation: Ensure timber surfaces are clean, completely dry, and maintained within an ideal wood moisture content (MC) of 8–12%.
- 2. Mixing Ratio: Precisely weigh and mix the base adhesive with the hardener (catalyst) at a standard ratio of 100:15 using an electronic scale.
- 3. Glue Spread Rate: Apply the adhesive uniformly onto the timber surface via a roller or specialized glue spreader at a density of 150–200 g/m².
- 4. Pressing Cycle: Apply a clamping pressure of 8–12 kg/cm² for a duration of 15–30 minutes (measured at an ambient temperature of 20°C).
- 5. Curing and Conditioning: Allow the pressed components to condition for a minimum of 24 hours before proceeding with subsequent mechanical machining.
