Notes from the lab

Insights on panel chemistry.

Practical articles on resin performance, emission compliance and getting more from every glue line.

On the way

The first articles we’re writing.

Our team is putting together practical guides on extenders, scavengers and resin optimisation.

Extenders

Stretching resin without losing bond strength

How adhesive extenders lower glue-line cost while keeping panels strong.

Coming soon
Emissions

A practical path to E1 / E0 panels

Where formaldehyde scavengers fit into amino and phenolic resin systems.

Coming soon
Resin

Getting more from UF, MUF and PF

Boosters, cure and the small changes that lift press-line performance.
