ABSTRACT:
A veneer profile wrapping process employs a water-base polyvinylacetate glue system which is activated before application with an acid catalyst. The glue is applied to the veneer by a roller applicator. The veneer is transported on a vacuum belt which prevents the veneer from warping while the glue is dried with fans and infrared radiation. The process employs a porous substrate, such as particle board, which is heated by infrared radiation on all sides. Polyvinylacetate glue is applied to the surface of the substrate, which will be wrapped with veneer and the heat of the substrate plus additional infrared radiation and fans evaporates and dries the glue. The glue on the substrate is dried for approximately 60 to 90 seconds and on the veneer for approximately 10-15 seconds on cross feed drying lines. The veneer is inverted on a side belt changer and forced into intimate contact with the substrate by heated metal rollers. Rubber rollers apply pressure and heat guns and infrared lamps apply process heat which rapidly bonds the veneer to the substrate, producing a bond with high green strength which may be almost immediately sanded or milled. This process produces a veneer-wrapped molding with a glue line impervious to moisture.
