Industrial Grade Wood Adhesive for Kenyan Furniture Makers
The DLG A5851 Water-Based Wood Glue is a modified Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) emulsion engineered for high-speed furniture production and manual carpentry. Unlike standard white glues that take hours to set, our formula is optimized for high initial grab and fast curing, allowing you to unclamp items sooner and increase your workshop output.
Why Professionals Choose DLG A5851
1. High Solid Content & Viscosity
This is not a watered-down adhesive. With a high solid content, the glue bridges small gaps in timber joints effectively without shrinking excessively. It offers excellent viscosity (thickness), ensuring it stays on the brush or roller without dripping, reducing waste during application.
2. Invisible Glue Line (Transparent Cure)
For high-end furniture, aesthetics matter. The A5851 applies white for visibility but dries into a transparent adhesive thread. This ensures that joinery lines on mahogany or cypress furniture remain invisible after varnishing or staining.
3. Heat & Moisture Resistance (EN204 D2/D3)
Kenya’s climate fluctuates between humidity and dry heat. Our adhesive meets the EN204 D2 standard, meaning it withstands occasional exposure to moisture and high humidity without de-laminating. It is ideal for indoor furniture, doors, and cabinets used in kitchens or bathrooms (not submerged).
Primary Applications of DLG Water-based Adhesive
