Cold Press for HPL Cold Press for HPL

Titebond Cold Press for HPL is a high-quality, economical alternative to contact cement for large-scale flat laminating. It is specifically formulated for cold press laminating of High Pressure Laminates and backed veneers to solid woods, particleboard, MDF, plywood and other porous materials.

Titebond Cold Press is also suitable for most veneer and panel-on-frame applications. It offers a moderate speed of set, a translucent glue line and contains none of the harmful or corrosive fumes typical of most contact cements.
