This article provides a review of various types of polymer-based adhesives and their applications in wood products, emphasizing their increasing role in the production of durable and sustainable wood composites. It explores their composition, different types, and their rising significance as alternatives to conventional adhesives across wood products industries. The discussion covers two main categories of polymer adhesives: cold-setting and hotsetting adhesives. Cold-setting adhesives are examined for their curing processes and use in heat-sensitive environments, while hotsetting adhesives are evaluated for their superior bonding strength and resistance to environmental factors. The article highlights the key differences between the two adhesive types, focusing on curing methods, performance, and suitability for various wood products, while also discussing their advantages, limitations, and ideal applications for wood-based materials. The aim is to offer a comprehensive understanding of polymer adhesives, providing valuable insights for industry professionals looking to improve both product performance and sustainability in wood manufacturing.
