ADHESIVES I VINNAPAS ® DPX 271

VINNAPAS ® DPX 271

Low-Formaldehyde Binder for Water-Resistant Wood Glues (D3)

Waterborne wood adhesives are Water Resistance in Accordance with EN 204 (D3)

glues, reactive co-monomers are

traditionally incorporated as internal

of the EN 204 D3 class. These co-

Comparison with a Standard D3 Wood Glue: VINNAPAS® DPX 271 Shows No Discoloration Advantages of VINNAPAS® DPX 271
VINNAPAS® DPX 271 offers two main ad-
