Plywood Technologies
In the future, laminated and engineered wood products will require less energy to produce, have more functionality, and be able to be used across more applications. Our mission is to move wood products into the future with adhesive designs that meet these types of demanding needs.
GREENPHA5E™ was developed from the research and development lab of Design Adhesives. This class of adhesive meets the needs of the wood products industry for cost, environmental, and performance aspects.
Due to its unique chemistry, GREENPHA5E™ is the first line of wood adhesives on the market to be both formaldehyde emissions-free and enhanced fire-resistance. Moving beyond petroleum-based formulations, GREENPHA5E™ captures many unique benefits.
Traditionally, formaldehyde is often added to plywood adhesive products which then are placed inside of homes or offices where they can emit formaldehyde over the life of the product. With GREENPHA5E™, consumers are now guaranteed the security of a safe atmosphere free of formaldehyde emissions.
By also being fire-resistant, this line of revolutionary green adhesives introduces a higher standard of product quality and versatility to all manufactured wood products around the globe.
The GREENPHA5E™ adhesive system, aside from being 100% formaldehyde emissions-free, GREENPHA5E™ adhesives have shown excellent bond strength.
Testing in our laboratory, showed that these adhesives boast the some of the highest bond strength in their category.
GREENPHA5E™ is not only eco-friendly… but also uses less energy in the production of its components, due to the eco-friendly source components. Wood manufacturers get the benefit of a more stable supply chain vs. petroleum based materials.
Since they are based on plant materials instead of petroleum and typically processed adhesives, they are not subject to the unpredictable price fluctuations often characteristic of the petroleum market. This allows wood manufacturers the benefit of a more stable supply chain.
Patented next generation wood adhesive technologies
that provides value at every level.
Design Adhesives was created to provide the latest generation of green adhesives to engineered wood producers globally. We continually strive to move wood products into the future with adhesive designs that meet more demanding needs.
