Natural Mix Tannin Additive for Accelerated Board Production

Polymate-666 is a versatile vegetable-tannin additive designed for integration into pre-press glue formulations across both amino and phenolic resin systems — a powerful catalyst and binding agent that accelerates the whole press cycle.

Polymate-666: Vegetable Tannin Technology for Amino & Phenolic Resins

Line speed is money in board production, and the two slowest points are usually the pre-press cold-tack wait and the hot-press cure. Polymate-666 attacks both with vegetable-tannin chemistry that acts as a catalyst and binder inside the glue.

At a very small dosage it lifts glue viscosity sharply and creates a strong pre-press bond that stops veneer shifting before the panel ever reaches the hot press. Through the cure it shortens both cold-tack and hot-press times.

Mills running it have seen overall line production efficiency rise by 20–25% — more panels per shift from the same equipment, with the improved profitability that follows.

Why it matters

  • Raises glue viscosity at a very small dosage
  • Cuts prepress cold-tack and hot-press curing time
  • Increases line production efficiency by 20–25%

System compatibility
A versatile additive for pre-press glue formulations across both amino and phenolic resin systems.

Industrial applications & operational benefits

  • Exceptionally efficient at enhancing glue viscosity to a much higher level while requiring only a very small dosage.
  • Functions as a powerful catalyst and binding agent that reduces both prepress cold-tack time and final hot-press curing time.
  • Creates a superior pre-press bond that eliminates veneer shifting and improves panel integrity before the hot press.

Economic advantage & ROI

  • Directly contributes to massively accelerated production cycles.
  • Proven to increase overall line production efficiency by 20–25%, allowing higher daily panel output and improved profitability.
