AS/NZS 2754.1:2016 PDF Download

AS/NZS 2754.1:2016 is a standard that outlines the requirements for adhesives used in the manufacturing of plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). The main purpose of this standard is to ensure that the adhesive is capable of producing high-quality and durable bonded plywood and LVL products in various conditions and exposures.

The standard provides details on the different bond types (A, B, C, and D) and specifies the corresponding adhesive chemical type required for each bond type. It also outlines the service conditions applicable to each bond type, helping manufacturers choose the most appropriate adhesive for their specific application.

Additionally, the standard includes pre-treatment requirements for each bond type, which must be followed to achieve the desired bond quality. However, it does not specify the bond test methods, as these are detailed in another standard, AS/NZS 2098.2.

Furthermore, the standard specifies various test requirements for adhesives, including pH, non-volatile solids content, viscosity, gelation time, and bond quality. These requirements ensure that the adhesive meets the necessary standards for safe and effective use in the plywood and LVL manufacturing industry.
