Abstract
The results of fingerjointing and glulam industrial trials in Chile using a “honeymoon” fast-set adhesive system manufactured using commercially-produced mildly-sulphited pine tannin extract are reported. The results obtained satisfy the relevant international standards specifications and constitute the first occasion that a commercially produced pine tannin adhesive has been used succesfully in industrial productions runs. This pine tannin adhesive is now available commercially in Chile for fully-exterior, structural-grade, solid timber applications. A new “honeymoon” type adhesive formulation had to be developed due to the peculiar gelling of the pine tannin extract used. The Chilean pine tannin extracted from a mixture of Pinus insignis and Pinus radiata shows gel times longer than what reported for other conifer tannins with the exception of Pinus brutia. Such differences in curing rate are tentatively reported to be related to the relative branching of the different conifer tannins.
