Wood adhesive tests
The wood panels were prepared by applying the emulsions at150 g/m2 single adhesive line onto one side of (25504) mm3
maple veneer pieces. Then the wood panels were hot pressed at 2001C for 5 min under constant pressure of 3 MPa. For the bond quality as wood adhesive, the glued wood panels were immersed in boiling water and allowed to swell in all directions. The glue has to with stand all the resulting forces. The samples preferably should contain residues from the opposite veneer. This was indeed the case, indicating that the adhesive bond is stronger than
the wood (Fig. 10).
