Abstract / scope
ISO 26842-2:2009 gives guidelines for the selection, by means of delamination-resistance tests, of adhesives for use in wood products placed in severe environments, indoors or during transport, in which the products are exposed to extreme changes of temperature and humidity.
A series of exposure cycles at various temperatures and humidities is provided to verify that the adhesive selected, or a product bonded with the adhesive, meets the necessary requirements for resistance to delamination.
ISO 26842-2:2009 is intended to help the user not only to select a suitable adhesive but also to evaluate adhesives and adhesively bonded wood products.
It is not intended for use in the qualification of structural components.
