Benefits/Advantages To Customer
Helps increase productivity: Gluing operations were formerly required in the
manufacturing process. Customer estimated a 50% savings in their time
and process work on completing this operation. Customer is able to put doors
together more quickly, enabling them to increase production quantity without
sacrificing quality. Clamping is minimized, thus decreasing the time for the
assembly process.

Strong product: When tested by the customer for bond strength, the hardwood
on the door frame broke. The veneer/hardwood bond stayed in place and did
not break. There are no holes to weaken the overall structure.

not break. There are no holes to weaken the overall structure.
Helps reduce production costs: The amount of time required for production can
be reduced because of the elimination of nailing or stapling, and sanding steps in
the manufacturing process. Once the adhesive has cured, it will not re-melt like
most typical hot melts as the workpiece travels through finishing ovens.

Final product appearance enhanced: Helps improve the overall final appearance
of the end product since it has no nail holes or staples to detract from the
aesthetics of the finished item.

Ultraviolet light indicator: When viewed under most ultraviolet (UV) lighting,
adhesives EZ17005, EZ17030 and TE015 have a purple tint, so it’s easy to detect
residue in the bondline that should be removed prior to finishing.
