Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) production requires high-performance adhesive systems capable of bonding fine wood fibers into dense, smooth, and dimensionally stable panels. Urea formaldehyde (UF) resin is widely used due to its fast curing, strong internal bond strength, and suitability for high-speed hot-pressing processes. When optimized, UF and modified UF systems deliver excellent surface quality, machinability, and uniform density distribution—essential for furniture, flooring substrates, and decorative laminates.
Modern adhesive technologies also enhance moisture resistance and durability to help manufacturers meet increasingly stringent performance standards. Improved resin formulations reduce emissions, improve press efficiency, and deliver consistent panel performance. These advancements support MDF producers in achieving stable panel properties while optimizing production costs and maintaining high-quality output.
IWG’s adhesives support all key MDF manufacturing processes — from panel lamination to structural assembly and veneer wrapping:
Urea Formaldehyde Resin Powder
A one-component adhesive available in yellow or white, suitable for MDF assembly, veneering, and form pressing. It offers fast curing, high heat resistance, and non-shrinking glue lines, making it ideal for both cold pressing and high-frequency processing.
PG240 / PG2500
High solid content emulsion adhesives with excellent bonding strength and sandability. Ideal for finger jointing, MDF assembly, and composite pressing under cold press conditions.
60626
A high-performance adhesive for laminating surface materials such as paper or PVC onto MDF or particleboard. It features excellent solvent and heat resistance while maintaining strong adhesion with low glue usage.
EVA Hot Melt Adhesive (PG271-3)
Designed for veneering wood surfaces onto MDF substrates, providing clean bonding lines, fast setting, and strong heat resistance.
Excellent adhesion to MDF, PB, and various surface films.
Fast curing and stable pressing performance.
High heat and solvent resistance for durable bonding.
Compatible with hot press, cold press, and high-frequency equipment.
Smooth, sandable glue lines for premium finishing.
