Questions & Answers

What is Titebond

III Ultimate Wood Glue?

Titebond

III is the first one-part, waterproof wood glue that cleans up with

water and offers a two-year shelf life. It is an advanced, proprietary

polymer-based formula that offers preferred performance attributes as

defined by professional woodworkers. Titebond

III represents the benefits

of multiple gluing technologies and delivers them in a single product, ideal

for interior and exterior woodworking applications.

What is the difference between the ANSI/HPVA Type I and Type II

water-resistance specification?

Both of these tests are conducted using 6” by 6” birch laminates glued

together to make three-ply plywood. The test for Type I is clearly more

stringent than Type II, and involves boiling the glue bonds and testing the

specimens while they are wet.

Type I testing involves cutting the 6" by 6" assemblies into 1" by 3"

specimens, boiling them for 4 hours, then baking the specimens in a 145˚F

oven for 20 hours. They are boiled for an additional 4 hours, then

immediately cooled using running water. The specimens are sheared while

wet, and the bonds must pass certain strength and wood failure

requirements to pass the Type I specification.

Type II testing involves cutting the 6" by 6" assemblies into 2" by 5"

specimens, soaking them for 4 hours, then baking the specimens in a

120˚F oven for 19 hours. This is repeated for a total of three cycles, and the

bonds must not delaminate to pass the Type II specification.

How does Titebond

III compare to polyurethane glues?

While polyurethane glues bond well to a variety of materials, Titebond

III

is superior in many ways. In addition to excellent water-resistance, it

provides a stronger bond on wood-to-wood applications, doesn’t foam

and requires less clamp time. Titebond

III has no health issues, doesn’t

require the use of gloves and cleans up with water. It is significantly less

expensive than polyurethane glues and offers similar coverage rates.

Why should I use Titebond

III Ultimate Wood Glue instead of

Titebond

II or the other Titebond

Wood Glues?

While all Titebond

products provide superior performance, Titebond

III is

especially useful for outdoor applications in cooler temperatures or when

concern for substantial moisture calls for the use of a Type I glue. For

interior applications, the longer working time of Titebond

III provides

woodworkers the necessary latitude to ensure that substrates are precisely

aligned before being bonded. Overall, Titebond

III combines superior

strength, Type I water-resistance, long open time and low chalk temperature

into one easy-to-use formulation.
