The Strength of the Adhesive Joints of the Medium-Density Fireboards and Particle Boards with the PVC Film

The aim of the present article was to analyse the adhesive joints of different types of the furniture boards used for the furniture production. The present article included a comparative analysis of the adhesive joints of the particle board and the medium-density fireboard (MDF) pressed with the following types of film: A 0.3 mm thick PVC film and a 0.8 mm thick acrylic film, made with use of a single-component reactive hot-melt adhesive based on the PUR 706.2 ME polyurethane. It was observed that, among others, the adhesive joints made of the particle board with a pressed 0.3 mm thick PVC film and the adhesive’s basis weight of 24 g/m2 is characterised by better strength properties than the adhesive joints of the particle board with the adhesive’s basis weight of 48 g/m2.
