Quick Setting Glue Developed For \(/oodworking Industries

A new, quick setting, room temperature urea resin adhesive for the wood*orking industry that sets in 10 minutes has been developgd in the research laboratory of the Timber Engineering. Co.

Known as Colpres 10, the glue research was undertaken by the hardwood industry's Committee on Research Administration, an activity of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, to provide a type of glue that has long been needed.

Furniture plants and others will need no new, expensive equipment in using this adhesive. It sets at room temperature (75o F.) and the setting time is so responsive to temperature changes that the speed of cure can be easily adjusted to production line requirements. The glue is water resistant, non-staining and of great strength.

The adhesive is being introduced by the Timber Engineering Co., Washington, D. C., as a service to the wood industries for use with both hardwoods and softwoods. A bulletin of instructions for use is available upon request.
