  • The computer graphic shows the functional principle of face-side on-demand joining of two cement-bonded wood-based panels.

    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.
