High-Performance Adhesives for Plywood
Why Adhesives Matter in Plywood Manufacturing
Plywood is built by bonding thin wood veneers into strong, versatile panels. The adhesive you choose determines durability, water resistance, and compliance with global safety standards. At MICHELIN ResiCare, we go beyond performance: our solutions deliver health safety, sustainability, and regulatory peace of mind for Class 3 EN314 plywood applications.
Our Resin Innovations for Plywood
Since 2021, MICHELIN ResiCare has commercialized its first water-resistant Ultra-Low Emission Formaldehyde (ULEF) resin for plywood. This solution was designed as a first step to eliminate harmful substances while delivering superior performance.
Today, we are pioneering a nearly 100% biobased, formaldehyde-free resin that is safe, sustainable, and high-performing, compatible with your current production processes, favored by your workers, made of renewable carbons, reducing CO₂ emissions. Let it become your contribution to the European Green Deal while keeping plywood performance.
