Applies to sprayable adhesives and brushable adhesives intended for the bonding, on the contact bond principle, of decorative thermoset laminated sheets to materials such as timber, metal and particleboards. Product information, requirements for viscosity, bond strength in peel and shear, heat resistance, cleavage resistance at elevated temperature, optimum open assembly time, labelling and packaging are included.

This Standard applies to sprayable adhesives and brushable adhesives (including those forapplication by scraper) intended for the bonding, on the contact bond principle, of decorativethermoset laminated sheets to materials such as timber, metal, and particleboards.
