As is well known, Vinavil's commitment to the regulatory tables has been instrumental in developing and refining the standards in the sector of interest. The EN 17618 standard is entitled: Adhesives - Wood-to-wood adhesives bonds for non-structural applications - Determination of shear strength by compressive loading and constitutes an important improvement in the field of vinyl glues for wood as it establishes a method for the determination of the final gluing power, of the removed on wood and of the closed time on different wood species. The test method was developed on the basis of the ISO 6238 standard which, as is known, has been a reference method for years for evaluating the suitability of the adhesives used in the furniture sector (for example those intended for the production of chairs .) The EN 17619 standard is entitled: Classification of wood adhesives for non-structural timber products for exterior use, introducing the XT5, XT6 and XT7 classes, represents an absolute novelty in the outdoor wood sector (XT: EXTERIOR). This standard finally covers the regulatory gap, known to the technicians of the sector, which left wide doubts and personalities in the selection of the correct adhesive suitable for specific final applications such as urban furniture, playgrounds, railings, outdoor cladding. The new standard allows the introduction of a classification different from that established by EN 204 and allows to choose the correct adhesive for non-structural applications of wooden joints intended for external use. Vinavil has long since developed a new line of products that can satisfy the new XT classes and will quickly proceed to organize specific meetings to present the news on the subject.
