Standard Specification for Adhesives for Wood-Based Materials for Construction of Manufactured Homes

ABSTRACT
This specification provides the means to measure and evaluate the performance of adhesives for structural or semistructural bonding of wood-to-wood in manufactured homes. Wood as used in this specification includes lumber, plywood, particleboard, gypsum board, and all materials having woodbased surfaces at the bondline. The adhesives can be classified according to resistance to deformation: Group A or structural, and Group B or semistructural. Also, the adhesives may be designated into three types, according to their recommended use based on their resistance to water and water vapor: Type 1 for interior and exterior use, Type 2 for weather-protected interior use, and Type 3 for interior use only. Different tests shall be performed in order to determine the following properties of adhesives: shear strength, gap-filling ability, total deformation resistance, moisture and temperature limitation during fabrication, high-temperature resistance, low-temperature resistance, moisture resistance, aging, oxidation resistance, and mold resistance.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides the means to measure and evaluate the performance of adhesives for structural or semi-structural bonding of wood-to-wood in manufactured homes. Wood as used in this specification includes lumber, plywood, particleboard, gypsum board, and all materials having wood-based surfaces at the bondline. This specification does not cover other adhesives used in manufactured homes such as adhesives for carpet, floor tile, ceramic fixtures, plastic laminates, trim and millwork, and similar nonstructural applications.

Manufactured Homes
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3930; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
This specification provides a standard for measuring and evaluating the performance of adhesives
that will be used in joints of wood-based materials in constructing manufactured homes. This
specification has two parts: Part I contains the requirements necessary for an adhesive to conform to
this specification; and Part II provides test methods by which the performance of the adhesives will
be measured. A classification system is provided that groups adhesives according to resistance to
deformation under load, resistance to moisture, and gap-filling ability. Minimum test values have been
specified for certain properties of durability, while other property requirements are left open-ended.
The test methods used to obtain these values reflect adverse exposure and stress conditions that exist
during the construction, transit, and use of manufactured homes. By using values published from these
prescribed test methods, the design engineer can select an adhesive that best meets the requirements
of a specific adhesive application.
The test methods used in this specification were developed predominantly from existing ASTM
standards, while others came from standards that have been generally accepted for years. Some test
methods were more recently developed. In most instances, only parts of these standards have been
used in this specification. Since no precision and bias statements are available from the original test
methods, none can be made for this specification at this time.
