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

Standard Details

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.

1.1.1 The performance of the adhesives is measured in the following tests:

Number	Test	Section
1	Low Temperature	16
2	Dry Lumber	17
3	Gap-Filling	18
4	High Temperature	19
5	Type 3 Qualification	20
6	Type 2 Qualification	21
7	Aging, Film Oxidation	22
8	Aging, Bond Oxidation	23
9	Resistance to Deformation, Creep	24
10	Mold	25
11	Type 1 Qualification	26
