PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Doorbond 200 is a fast-setting, one component flush door adhesive. It is designed for hot or cold press manufacture of flush and architectural doors. The product has passed the 90 minute vertical fire test on Georgia Pacific mineral core with HPDL skin. Doorbond 200 has also been approved for use on Marshfield cores per report #3093107. Doorbond 200 produces a water and heat-resistant bond on various rail, stile and skin substrates. These substrates include: wood, hardboard, MDF, particleboard and high pressure laminates. This product has been formulated to prevent bleed through under normal operating conditions.
Doorbond 200 complies with the VOC limits of California’s South Coast Air Quality Management Districts Rule 1168. This makes it compliant with the adhesive requirements for both the United State’s and Canada’s Green Globes Program, the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED™ Program and the National Association of Homebuilders Green Building Guidelines.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Moisture Content: Six to eight percent is the recommended moisture content of the gluing stock. High moisture content will slow down glue line cure and cause weaker than normal adhesive bonds. Additionally, panel shrinkage may occur resulting in stress cracks or end delamination.
Stock Preparation: Particle board, MDF and Mineral core will bond best if free from dust. Joints cut from ripsaws should be free of saw marks. They should also be straight and square. Moulded or jointed stock should be free of knife marks. Glazed or burnished joints will prevent glue penetration and should be guarded against. When possible, glue joints should be prepared and glued the same day.
Spread: Generally, 35-50 pounds per 1,000 square feet of glue line (6-9 wet mils or 180-260 ft²/gal) is adequate. Conveyorized spreaders are commonly used in this application. The use of a wool felt sleeve on the spreader roll could aid in obtaining a desirable spread and reducing excess glue usage.
Pressure: Pressure is dependent upon the species or material to be glued. Direct contact of the gluing surfaces must be achieved to obtain maximum strength. Suggested pressures for various substrates are; high pressure laminates 30-80 psi; solid core stock 100-150 psi; all veneer constructions 100-250 psi.
Press Time: Press time is dependent on the adhesive used, gluing stock type, moisture content of the stock and environmental conditions. Typical cold press times range from 30 minutes to one hour and should be determined under plant conditions.
