If your shop relies on spray contact adhesive<\/a> for laminate, edgebanding, panel work, or quick assemblies, you\u2019ve probably felt the change already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the beginning of this year, manufacturers are no longer allowed to produce methylene chloride-based contact adhesives. Once old inventory sells through, it cannot be made again. That means the \u201csame glue you\u2019ve always used\u201d is not coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an industry-wide shift, but it does not have to slow your production down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At W\u00fcrth Baer Supply<\/a>, we\u2019ve brought in new, non-methylene chloride solutions from trusted brands like TacBond<\/a><\/strong> and Formica<\/a><\/strong>, including canister and bulk spray grade options built for professional cabinet shops, millwork operations, furniture shops, and other high output woodworking environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
