Overview

This European Standard classifies thermoplastic resin based wood adhesives for non-structural applications into durability classes D1 to D4 based on the dry and wet strengths of bond-lines measured under specified conditions after various conditioning treatments. The adhesives specified in this European standard are suitable for the bonding of furniture and interior structures, panelling, doors, windows, stairs etcetera made of wood or derived timber products. This European Standard does not specify the temperature resistance of bond-lines. The references to tests with thick adhesive joints have been deleted compared with DIN EN 204:2001-09 and the assessment is now based on 20 test specimens. Furthermore, additional information on conditioning treatments has been added. The DIN committee responsible for this standard is NA 042-04-05 AA "Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 193/SC 1 Holzklebung" ("Mirror committee for CEN/TC 193/SC 1 Wood adhesives").
