Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Glu-X/Spray-X?

  • To improve glue bond performance.
  • To eliminate or reduce problems.
  • To increase revenue-related benefits.

Who uses our products?

  • Manufacturers of plywood and panel composites including Structural and Decorative Building Panels.
  • Formulators of adhesives based on Phenol Formaldehyde and Urea Formaldehyde, Polyvinyl Acetate and on other Synthetic and Natural Polymers.
  • New and developing agri-fiber pilot plants.

Plywood and Panel Problems Sometimes Associated with Improper Extender

  • Mixing Difficulties - Especially Lumps
  • High Water Requirement - Adds to Dryer Load
  • Improper and Inconsistent Viscosity
  • Dry-Out/Over-Penetration
  • Poor Tack-Flow Balance
  • Poor Adhesive Coverage
  • Excessive Blows
  • Excessive Downgrades (Bond Failure, etc.)
  • Excessive Tool Wear ( From High Ash Content)
  • Inconsistent Performance and Analysis
  • Excessive Wash Water Volume (Measure It!)
  • Difficult Equipment Clean Up (Time It!)
  • Poor Filter Flow (Check It!)

What are some of the Operational, Economical and Ecological Benefits?

  • Reduce Emissions Thru Glue Conservation
  • Improve Prepress Tack (Tack-Flow Balance)
  • Reduce Press Times Thru Glue Conservation and More Reactivity
  • Reduce Water Requirement and Dryer Energy (More Water in Veneer)
  • E-Z Mixing - Minimize Lumping
  • Stable Viscosity (Pot-floor Life)
  • Penetration-Dry Out Control
  • Reduced Downgrades (Bond Failure, etc.)
  • Reduced Blows (Documented 1.2% Difference in 2-Week Plant Test)
  • Low Ash - Tool Wear Savings
  • Consistent Analysis and Performance
  • Faster Equipment Cleanup (Time It!)
  • Less Wash Water Volume (Measure It!)
  • Recycle Filter Flow (Check It!)
