ABSTRACT:
A cross-linkable water-based wood adhesive comprised of a critical mixture of from 0.10 to 0.75 by weight of a water-soluble, high-viscosity thickening agent polymer such as hydroxyethylcellulose, 0.05-0.40% by weight of a defoamer to dissipate foam quickly during manufacture, 25.00 to 45.00% by weight of solids of a self-cross-linking polyvinyl acetate polymer (treated with N-methylolacrylamide) dispersed in water, 1.00-3.00% by weight of a plasticizer/coalescing agent such as 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3 pentanediol monoisobutyrate, 0.50 to 1.00% of an acidic catalyst, such as aluminum chloride, 4.00 to 12% by weight of fine particle-size wood fibers (soft or hard wood fibers or a mixture of both) and 0.10% by weight of a preservative. The viscosity of this adhesive gel will "break-down" when its container, e.g. a squeeze-bottle or flexible tube is finger-pressed resulting in a sufficiently low viscosity to allow for easy extrusion from the small orifices, approximately 0.10 inch diameter or a rectangular slit opening such as approximately 1/16" wide by 5/16" long of the adhesive application tips attached to such squeeze-bottles and flexible tubes. When pressure is released after the desired amount of adhesive flows out of the container, the adhesive quickly reverts very closely to its original gel state so that it will not "run" on vertical surfaces nor "spill" when used as a general purpose wood adhesive. This adhesive has sufficient wet tack to hold two pieces of wood together while still allowing repositioning of the pieces of wood before drying. In addition, since this product contains real wood fibers, its dry film is stainable and easy to sand.
