The development and use of adhesives in the woodworking industry is driven by ever tightening environmental regulations. This particularly affects the plywood and LVL industries, where adhesive formulations and handling processes need to be adapted to comply with regulations. Tamtron’s glue kitchens and glue mixers offer efficient solutions that support customers in developing their production processes and ensure high quality in general, regardless of the type of glue used.
The impact of regulation on adhesive production
Requirements relating to various chemicals and emissions are imposing new restrictions on the composition and use of adhesives in industry. This means that production processes will have to be developed to meet the increasing restrictions, for example on volatile compounds and other regulated substances. Environmental certification will also encourage companies to adopt safer and lower-emission adhesive alternatives.
New types of adhesives will be reflected in concrete changes or increases in raw materials and possible process expansion. Tamtron’s flexible solutions ensure that future adhesive requirements can also be met efficiently.

Tamtron’s glue kitchens – solutions for today’s requirements
Tamtron glue kitchens are designed to support woodworking processes by providing reliable and accurate solutions for different types of adhesives – whether lignin-based or more traditional resin-based adhesives. As regulation drives the development of adhesives, our kitchens are designed with an emphasis on flexibility and easy integration into different production environments.
🔹 Consistent adhesive quality – Optimised processes ensure high and consistent quality, which is critical to the performance of finished products.
🔹 Easy cleanability – Automatic cleaning systems reduce downtime and improve efficiency.
🔹 Integration with production processes – Systems can be seamlessly integrated with other production lines, making processes more efficient and minimising waste.
🔹 Flexible technology – Adhesive kitchens allow the processing of different adhesive compositions without the need for significant changes to equipment.
Efficiency and quality in a changing environment
Adapting regulation to production is not only an obligation but also part of an efficient and high-quality manufacturing process. Tamtron’s solutions help companies maintain competitiveness and ensure flexibility in their production, regardless of future changes in adhesive technology or regulation. Our mission is to provide a kitchen that works reliably – regardless of the type of adhesive used.
