Eco glues

[aldolandwehr]

We've tried so many eco glues on our bamboo products like cow skin glue, collagen glue, bone glue, And rubber based glues and out of all of them I think the natural rubber based glues worked the best. We're still testing its water resistance. Will let you know. White or carpenters glue works but still has some chemical... not our thing. The Gorilla glue and epoxy adhesives are just plain scary, what is the impact of this glue on the environment post usage? Not good.

here's an image of an Eco laminated carvings from PT Bambu. BTW These are also for sale...Thanks aldo

Judging from the pics, it looks like your making bamboo laminates. It would be great if you could produce bamboo flooring using natural rubber glues, rather than what is presently used.

You're totally right. But we're already making flooring that far exceed the strength of any conventional flooring on the market... and with no glue. Bamboo Pure is the product. Most of the floorings out there are more toxic and harmful due to the glue factor. We use our flooring in almost all of our structures and have two different types. We call it bamboo Rengang (with gapping) and bamboo Rapat (tight and high quality). We have done years of research on this and finally have it down. We used it on the GreenSchool bridge for its 20 meter span across the river (attached).

Eco glues are the future of laminates but sometimes tradition prevails. thanks,
