It is well known that cold gluing is the best solution for certain type of applications. The cold process grants in such a case a finished product having better characteristics than those which can be obtained by hot pressing.
Limit of cold applications are the long curing times; times that are much longer than those involved in the hot processes. This limit has been overcome by the new generation of glue working in cold; the glue manufacturers have developed glues able to cure in a very short time so reducing considerably the differences in curing time between hot and cold gluing. This new scenario has raised a growing interest in cold processes among end users.
