Delamination of Edge-Glued Wood Panels: Moisture Effects

摘要

Delamination of edge-glued furniture and cabinet panels or narrow face-laminated squares is a fairly common problem, particularly during the heating season. The problem is not restricted to any particular glue or species. Why these failures occur and how they can be prevented is the subject of the report. The authors discuss the relationship of species, glue consistency and clamping pressure, with emphasis on the role of moisture content in delamination.
