Adhesives - One component polyurethane (PUR) for load-bearing timber structures - Classification and performance requirements
This document establishes a classification for one component polyurethane (PUR) adhesives according to their suitability for use in load-bearing timber products in defined climatic exposure conditions, and specifies performance requirements for such adhesives for the factory manufacture or factory-like manufacturing of load-bearing timber products only.
It also classifies “adhesive product lines” where all the products within the line have the same chemical composition except for a different amount of catalyst.
This document only specifies the performance of adhesives for use in an environment corresponding to the defined conditions.
The performance requirements of this document are applicable to the adhesives only, not to the manufactured timber products. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions) or the production of wood-based panels, except solid wood panels, or modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. acetylated wood, heat treated wood and polymer impregnated wood.
This document is primarily intended for use by adhesive manufacturers and for use in timber products bonded with adhesives, to assess or control the quality of adhesives. The requirements are applicable to the type testing of the adhesives. Production control activities are outside the scope of this document.
Adhesives meeting the requirements of this document are adequate for use in load-bearing timber products, provided that the bonding process has been carried out according to an appropriate product standard.
This document does not address the classification and use of adhesives in combination with the spraying of water before or during the bonding process; see informative Annex C of this document.
This does neither allow nor forbid the use of adhesives in combination with the spraying of water.
Klebstoffe - Einkomponenten-Klebstoffe auf Polyurethanbasis (PUR) für tragende Holzbauteile - Klassifizierung und Leistungsanforderungen
Dieses Dokument stellt eine Klassifizierung für Einkomponenten-Klebstoffe auf Polyurethanbasis (PUR) entsprechend ihrer Eignung zur Verwendung für tragende Holzprodukte unter bestimmten Klimabedingungen auf und legt die Leistungsanforderungen an derartige Klebstoffe ausschließlich zur werksmäßigen Herstellung oder Herstellung unter werksähnlichen Bedingungen von tragenden Holzprodukten fest.
Darüber hinaus werden „Klebstoffproduktlinien“ klassifiziert, bei denen alle Produkte innerhalb der Linie die gleiche chemische Zusammensetzung haben, abgesehen von einer unterschiedlichen Menge an Katalysator.
Dieses Dokument legt nur das Leistungsverhalten von Klebstoffen für den Einsatz in einer Umgebung fest, die den festgelegten Bedingungen entspricht.
Die Leistungsanforderungen in diesem Dokument sind lediglich für den Klebstoff, nicht für das Holzprodukt anwendbar. Dieses Dokument behandelt weder das Leistungsverhalten von Klebstoffen für die Vor-Ort-Verklebung (ausgenommen bei werksähnlichen Bedingungen) noch die Produktion von Holzwerkstoffen, ausgenommen Massivholzplatten. Es ist nicht für modifiziertes und vergütetes Holz mit beträchtlich verringerten Quellungs- und Schwindungseigenschaften anwendbar, wie z. B. acetyliertes Holz, wärmebehandeltes Holz und mit Kunstharz imprägniertes Holz.
Dieses Dokument ist in erster Linie für die Verwendung durch die Hersteller der Klebstoffe und der verklebten Holzprodukte bestimmt, um die Qualität von Klebstoffen zu beurteilen oder zu überprüfen. Die Anforderungen sind für die Typprüfung von Klebstoffen anwendbar. Aktivitäten im Rahmen der Produktionskontrolle gehören nicht zum Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments.
Klebstoffe, die die Anforderungen dieses Dokuments erfüllen, sind für den Einsatz in tragenden Holzprodukten geeignet, vorausgesetzt, dass der Verklebungsvorgang nach einer entsprechenden Produktnorm vorgenommen wurde.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Klassifizierung und Verwendung von Klebstoffen in Kombination mit dem Besprühen mit Wasser vor oder während des Verklebungsvorgangs. Siehe hierzu den informativen Anhang C dieses Dokuments.
Dies gestattet oder verbietet nicht die Verwendung von Klebstoffen in Kombination mit dem Besprühen mit Wasser.
Adhésifs - Adhésifs polyuréthane monocomposants (PUR) pour structures portantes en bois - Classification et exigences de performance
Le présent document établit une classification des adhésifs polyuréthane monocomposants (PUR) en fonction de leur aptitude à l’emploi dans les structures portantes en bois dans des conditions d’exposition climatique définies, et spécifie les exigences de performance applicables à ces adhésifs uniquement lorsqu’ils sont utilisés pour la fabrication en usine de structures portantes en bois, ou dans des conditions semblables à la fabrication en usine.
Il classifie également les « gammes de produits adhésifs » dont les produits présentent tous la même composition chimique, à l’exception de la quantité de catalyseur.
Le présent document spécifie la performance des adhésifs uniquement dans l’environnement correspondant aux conditions définies.
Les exigences relatives à la performance définies dans le présent document ne s’appliquent qu’aux adhésifs et non aux produits manufacturés en bois. Le présent document ne couvre pas la performance des adhésifs utilisés pour le collage sur site (à l’exception des conditions semblables à la fabrication en usine) ou pour la fabrication de panneaux à base de bois, à l’exception des panneaux en bois massif, ou pour le bois modifié et stabilisé ayant une propension considérablement réduite au gonflement et au retrait, par exemple le bois acétylé, le bois traité à la chaleur et le bois imprégné de polymère.
Le présent document s’adresse avant tout aux fabricants d’adhésifs pour leur permettre, dans le domaine des produits en bois collés, d’évaluer ou de contrôler la qualité des adhésifs. Les exigences s’appliquent aux essais de type des adhésifs. Les activités de contrôle de la production ne relèvent pas du domaine d’application du présent document.
Les adhésifs répondant aux exigences du présent document conviennent à une utilisation dans des structures portantes en bois, à condition que le processus de collage ait été réalisé conformément à une norme de produit appropriée.
Le présent document n’a pas pour objet la classification ni l’utilisation d’adhésifs en combinaison avec l’aspersion d’eau avant ou pendant le processus de collage ; voir l’Annexe C informative du présent document.
Il ne permet pas ni n’interdit l’utilisation d’adhésifs en combinaison avec l’aspersion d’eau.
Lepila - Enokomponentni poliuretan (PUR) za nosilne lesene konstrukcije - Razvrstitev in zahtevane lastnosti
Ta dokument določa razvrstitev za lepila iz enokomponentnega poliuretana (PUR) v skladu z njihovo primernostjo za uporabo pri nosilnih lesenih izdelkih pri določenih pogojih izpostavljenosti podnebnim razmeram; določa zahtevane lastnosti za taka lepila za tovarniško proizvodnjo ali tovarni podobno proizvodnjo izključno nosilnih lesenih izdelkov.
Razvršča tudi »lepilne linije«, pri čemer imajo vsi izdelki znotraj linije skoraj enake fizikalne/kemijske lastnosti in zmogljivost lepljenja, vendar različno reaktivnost.
Ta dokument določa lastnosti lepil izključno za uporabo v okolju, ki ustreza podanim pogojem.
Zahteve glede učinkovitosti v tem dokumentu se uporabljajo samo za lepila, ne za proizvedene lesene izdelke. Ta dokument ne zajema lastnosti lepil za lepljenje na mestu uporabe (razen v pogojih, podobnih tovarniškim) niti proizvodnje lesnih plošč, razen polnih lesnih plošč, ali obdelanega in stabiliziranega lesa, ki bistveno manj nabreka in se krči, kot so acetiliran les, toplotno obdelan les in polimerno impregniran les.
Ta dokument je namenjen predvsem za proizvajalce lepil in za uporabo pri lesenih izdelkih, vezanih z lepili, za ocenjevanje ali nadzor kakovosti lepil. Zahteve se uporabljajo za tipsko preskušanje lepil. Dejavnosti kontrole proizvodnje ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
Lepila, ki izpolnjujejo zahteve tega dokumenta, so primerna za uporabo pri nosilnih lesenih izdelkih pod pogojem, da je bil postopek vezave izveden v skladu z ustreznim standardom za proizvod.
Ta dokument ne obravnava razvrščanja in uporabe lepil v kombinaciji z razprševanjem vode pred postopkom lepljenja ali med njim; glej informativno Prilogo C k temu dokumentu.
To ne dovoljuje niti ne prepoveduje uporabe lepil v kombinaciji z brizganjem vode.
