In this study, the effects of polivinalacetat (PVAc), ure-formaldehyd (UF), polyuretan (PU) glues and theirmodification with borax on bonding resistance of chestnut (Castenea sativa Mill.) wood in the Agean Regionwere evaluated. For this purpose, the samples prepared from chestnut (Castenea sativa Mill.) woods obtainedfrom Simav in Agean Region were glued with Polivinalacetat (PVAc), Ure-formaldehyd (UF), Polyuretan (PU)glues and with modifications of these glues, PVAc + %5 Boraks, UF + %5 Boraks, PU + %5 Boraks. Thesamples prepared through this process were subjected to tension test according to DIN 53255 standarts.Based on initial results, the best glued resistance was obtained with the samples glued with UF glue (8,59N/mm²), the worst resistance was obtained with the samples attached with PU + %5 Boraks (2,50 N/mm²).
