Fast-Setting (PVA) Systems

Using a combination of a 775 Adhesive Spreader and either a Rotary Laminating Press or a Panel Express forms the central core of this system. This specialty room-temperature PVA is a high tack, fast setting adhesive found to be ideal for laminating HPL, decorative plastic, and other sheet products to substrates such as particleboard and MDF. Its quick set-up time makes this PVA ideal for laminating cut-to-size panels and permits manufacturers to machine piece parts from full-size panels soon after lamination.

When used with a Rotary Laminating Press the finished product needs to be dead-stacked for an hour to four hours, based on heat/humidity within the work space, in order to cure the glue line. However, if a more rapid cure is desired, the process can be streamlined by using a Panel Express to expedite the cure. The Panel Express uses banks of heaters to dry the adhesive and create a bond within the press. The product can be machined shortly after being laminated through the Panel Express process. As always, consult your adhesive supplier to confirm stack/cure times prior to machining.

The machinery for this process can be as simple as two of the machines mentioned above, with minimal material handling such as a couple scissors lifts and a simple layup table. Or, we can design a complete system that will operate with reduced man power, and empower the operator(s) to produce higher volumes with less human intervention.
