Titebond glue is designed for working with wood. It is produced by the American concern Franklin International, but it has also found wide distribution in the Russian markets. Manufactured in accordance with the AFG-1 standard, which confirms its high quality. The company's products embody innovative technologies. Titebond glue is presented in many varieties, which are produced on high-tech equipment and are suitable for work in any area.
Titebond wood glue is a professional composition that is actively used for industrial purposes and in everyday life.
Titebond glue contains:
- Aliphatic resins.
- Polyurethanes.
- Polymers.
- Protein.
- Water.
- Synthetic rubber.
The structure of the product is abrasive, so the cutting tool will not be damaged or scratched during the subsequent sawing of wood products.
Note! In liquid form, Titebond has a good chemical viscosity due to the enhanced cross-linking of the substance. This makes its consistency optimal, not flowing, which makes it easier and easier to install.
After hardening, Titebond assembly glue acquires frost resistance, therefore, it is suitable for application to any surfaces and objects that will be used outdoors. Among the positive properties of Tytbond glue is heat resistance, but it can turn into flammability if the operating temperature range is exceeded from +100 degrees. In this case, the composition is flammable. It will be good to endure exposure to temperatures up to +40 degrees.
Other features of Titebond glue:
- Tolerates exposure to solvents.
- Easily removed from the surface until completely dry.
- Initial setting occurs after 10 minutes.
- The viscosity of the adhesive is 4000 mPa / s.
- The acidity of the pH is 3 units.
- Suitable temperature conditions for working with glue + 10-12 °.
- Consumption is 170-190 g / m².
After drying, the dry residue is half of the initial volume. If all storage conditions are observed, the glue will be able to serve for 2 years after opening the package.
Note! The consumption of the composition will depend on the environmental conditions, as well as the type of wooden surface and the degree of its porosity.
Pros and cons
Titebond wood glue for wood and wooden surfaces is in great demand and popularity, due to the following advantages:
- It has a world-class certificate that confirms its high quality and reliability.

There are varieties of glue that have a narrow specialization. For example, glue for repairing musical instruments, means for restoring antiques, household items, wooden souvenirs.
Varieties
There are about 25 types of wood glue, which are produced in series:
- Original Wood Glue 5064 473 ml usually comes in a red bottle. It is used for working with musical instruments, as it does not affect the sound due to its solid consistency. Suitable for both wind and string instruments.
- Titebond II Premium 5004 is a blue-packaged one-part moisture resistant adhesive that features fast setting, solvent resistance and shorter cure times. The finished seam of the Titebond 2 adhesive is elastic. Usually this variety is used to make benches, garden furniture, mailboxes. The non-toxic composition allows it to be used for repairing various household items, even those that have indirect contact with food.
- Titebond 3 is a green packaging product that is particularly durable and water resistant. It is suitable for gluing items in direct contact with food. There are no toxins and solvents in the composition, only safe polymers are taken as a basis. Titebond 3 glue can even be used for gluing items that will be used in subzero temperatures. You can work with this composition by cold or hot gluing. The basis of the glue is a water-dispersion mixture, which makes the composition universal. With the help of glue, you can glue not only wood, but also plastic with other materials. Consumption is 190 g / m². Polymerization times vary from 10 to 20 minutes.
- Heavy Duty is a very strong compound that is suitable for bonding concrete, brick, fiberglass, ceramics, stone and even hardboard. A high degree of adhesion is ensured by the synthetic rubber included in the composition. With this glue, you can even work with wet and frozen wood. The hardened seam has good elasticity, thanks to which vibration and mechanical influences are not afraid of it.
Features of use
Before gluing wood to another substrate, you must first prepare both surfaces. To do this, they are cleaned of debris, dust or residues of other substances. Then the glue needs to be shaken or mixed in the bottle and applied to the base with a convenient brush.
Then hold both surfaces together.
It will take the master 10 minutes to correct their position or remove excess glue.
Note! If glue accidentally comes into contact with the skin, it is sufficient to remove the dirt with plain clean and lukewarm water.
Titebond wood glue increases the efficiency, quality and speed of any work, including repair, decorative, production.
Application and properties of Titbond glue (2 videos)
There are many adhesives on the Russian market. In most cases, their manufacturers focus on the versatility of the product or on its ability to combine synthetic materials. Titebond glue is a more interesting option. Its varieties are not only multipurpose options, but also mixtures designed to combine wood products.
Peculiarities
Although the warranty period for Titebond adhesive is 2 years, in practice it will last for at least 3 years. The developer indicates that for the final removal of the previously applied glue, a liquid nail cleaner must be used.
The formulations produced are very diverse. They are intended for restoration work, parquet creation, joinery gluing. Judging by the reviews, the adhesive mixtures supplied by this brand perfectly bind wood and other materials. The result meets expectations, the products perform well both on a domestic and industrial scale.
Varieties
Solvent Free Cove Base
This compound helps to adhere PVC and rubber finishing structures, as well as acoustic tiles. The underlying surface can be drywall sheets, putty, paintwork and wallpaper, as well as ceramic tiles. Having come into contact with the surface, the glue prevents the attached materials from sliding down. It does not form vapors harmful to health, does not catch fire, fully complies with the regulatory requirements adopted in the Russian Federation and the United States.
Its physical characteristics:
- state of aggregation - mastic of moderate viscosity;
- color - beige;
- shelf life - 2 years or more;
- frost resistance - acceptable for operation in Russia
The glue itself and the materials to be joined must be warmed up to +5 degrees. After drying, the composition is removed with a sharp knife blade. The mixture should be applied strictly on one side, its choice is arbitrary. Do not use glue without the inclusion of a solvent to connect parts that are under water for a long time.
Heavy duty
Another super strong glue is Heavy Duty, which comes in yellow packaging.
This mixture is designed to combine:
- processed wood;
- concrete;
- metal surfaces;
- plywood;
- various decorative panels.
This adhesive offers professional bond strength and perfect water resistance. The recipe is based on synthetic rubber. The typical color of the product is light brown. It is allowed to use glue in the temperature range from -18 to +37 degrees. At the same time, already glued structures work stably in frost up to 29 degrees and when heated to 49 degrees.
Like the previous type, Heavy Duty is applied to only one of the surfaces. The hardening time of the composition is from 20 to 30 minutes. Removal of fresh glue is carried out with mineral alcohol.
It should be borne in mind that the product does not cope with holding together parts that are constantly under water. The assembly composition is also not intended for gluing parts made of expanded polystyrene to each other. Application is allowed only outdoors or in places equipped with a hood.
Tub Surround
It is recommended to use Tub Surround adhesive in bathrooms. It perfectly connects plastic structures, including moldings and rigid plastic products. The main active ingredient is a strong solvent that does not damage the materials.
The resistance of the product to water allows you not to fear the destruction of the created compounds. However, during the gluing process, the surface must be perfectly dry, it should also be degreased beforehand. The reliability of the result is not guaranteed in the case of joining wooden structures to ceramic tiles or other materials that do not contain pores.
