Product features and applications
Titebond Multibond EZ-2 is a water-resistant D3 industrial wood adhesive for bonding wooden components and products, solid wood joints, finger-jointing and laminating. This single-component PVA emulsion suits furniture and wood product manufacturing where a light-coloured glue line and lower workshop temperatures are important.
Impressive finger-jointed wood strength of approximately 450.3 kg/cm². In the manufacturer's ASTM D5572 tensile test on dry Ponderosa pine specimens, the average strength was 6405 psi (approximately 44.2 MPa).
- D3 water resistance
- Single-component PVA adhesive
- For wood finger-jointing and laminating
- Light-coloured glue line
Application and preparation
Stir thoroughly before use. Minimum application temperature: +7 °C. Select pressing conditions according to the timber, equipment and technical data sheet.
When should you choose Multibond EZ-2?
This industrial wood adhesive is designed for edge, face and finger-jointed wooden components. Suitable for solid wood assembly and cold-press laminating. The D3 classification helps assess moisture resistance but does not replace the service requirements of the specific product.
How can you achieve a reliable joint?
Components must fit precisely. Wood surfaces must be clean and free from dust and coatings that prevent adhesive penetration. Spread evenly and apply suitable pressure. Colder timber and higher moisture content affect pressing time, so carry out trial bonding before production.
Multibond EZ-2 meets DIN EN 204 D3 and DIN EN 14257 WATT 91 requirements. ASTM D-5572 relates to finger joints in non-structural wood products for dry service conditions. Not intended for bonding load-bearing structures.
Laboratory test data
The tables show test results stated in the previous product description. Assess them in relation to the test method, temperature and materials; the strength of a particular joint depends on bonding conditions.
