Trade Fairs and Events

Every two years, the industry presents the latest technologies for the factories and energy systems of the future at Hannover Messe. The Fraunhofer WKI presents innovative products and processes for the use of wood and other renewable resources in materials.

How can prefabricated houses be built even more efficiently and with even lower resource consumption? In collaboration with our project partners, we are developing switchable adhesives for the face-to-face joining of cement-bonded wood-based panels. This enables the production of low-waste continuous panels. The adhesive systems available up until now have not been suitable for this purpose as a result of their limited processing time. With switchable adhesives, the bonds can be simply produced and then released again. This not only saves material but also increases the flexibility in construction and the recyclability of the building elements. In the webinar, we will provide an insight into the research results to date.

Basic knowledge is imparted on the execution of bonding work for the manufacture or repair of load-bearing timber components. A written examination can be taken in the course. This can be used to prove successful participation in accordance with DIN 1052-10. In addition, the course is recognized by the Brandenburgische Ingenieurkammer BBIK (Brandenburg Chamber of Engineers) as further training with 40 points.

Will buildings be mostly glued in the future? You can discuss this with Malte Mérono, scientist at the Fraunhofer WKI, at the “Salon der Wissenschaft” (Salon of Science). The “Salon der Wissenschaft” again invites you to talk to researchers from the Braunschweig region. There will be no lectures, the focus will be on personal dialog.

The LIGNA is considered as the world's leading trade fair for machinery, plant and tools for woodworking and wood processing. The organizers are once again expecting around 1,500 exhibitors. The Fraunhofer WKI presents innovative products and processes for the use of wood and other renewable resources in materials.
