I believe that many people with many years of woodworking experience do not particularly understand the difference between woodworking glue and white latex glue. Some friends cannot distinguish specific categories and different uses when consulting our products. Let me explain to you the differences between woodworking glue and white latex glue:
What is White latex glue
White latex glue is a water-soluble adhesive, mostly a thermoplastic adhesive made from vinyl acetate monomer through polymerization under the action of an initiator. The chemical name is polyvinyl acetate adhesive.
White latex glue, like a water-based adhesive for woodworking, is a water-based adhesive made with water as the dispersion medium. Due to its simple use process, relatively cheap price, convenient use by workers, product safety and environmental protection, etc., it is favored by many manufacturing factories.
Where is white latex glue mainly used
White latex glue is not only used in wood processing, furniture, and other woodworking industries. Still, it is also used in printing and packaging, food production, leather, and textile industries, and is widely used.
In the woodworking processing industry, white latex is mostly used for simple splicing and pressing of boards. White latex glue can be used when these processes do not have high requirements for bonding strength, weather resistance, high-temperature resistance, and other conditions.
What are the types of woodworking glue
There are many classifications of woodworking glue, and different glues should be used according to different process requirements. Roughly speaking, they can be divided into water-based adhesives and solvent-based adhesives.
According to the process requirements of woodworking, water-based adhesives can be divided into splicing glue, assembly glue, vacuum membrane wrapping glue, veneer glue, PVC glue, honeycomb paper glue, etc. Hot melt adhesives can also be divided into hot melt adhesives for edge banding, hot melt adhesives for wrapping, etc. based on actual production needs.
Generally speaking, from the perspective of product application range, woodworking glue has a wider range of uses than white latex glue. white latex glue is a branch of the field of woodworking glue. But white latex glue is not only used in the woodworking industry,it can be used in many fields.
