Production cost tool
Adhesive Cost Calculator
Compare the estimated adhesive preparation cost of a traditional UF, MUF or PF system with an HPA powder adhesive system using your own prices, recipe and glue consumption.
Your data, your result
Make the cost basis visible.
Use one consistent batch basis for recipe parts. For the board calculation, enter the total glue-applied bonded surface used to produce one cubic metre of finished panel.

Current system
Traditional resin adhesive
Alternative system
HPA adhesive powder system
Ratio entries are treated as kilograms per comparison batch. Water can be included in the HPA ratio at zero cost or with your local water cost.

Estimated comparison
Traditional cost minus HPA cost, based entirely on your inputs.
Complete both systems to compare.
Calculation method
Three transparent steps.
The calculator does not use hidden market-price assumptions.
Mixed cost / kg
(Material cost + applicable batch overhead) ÷ total batch weight.
Glue cost / m²
Mixed adhesive cost per kg × wet glue spread in kg per m².
Adhesive cost / m³
Glue cost per m² × bonded surface area used for 1 m³ of board.
Important
This tool provides a user-input estimate of adhesive preparation cost only. It excludes tax, logistics, labour, downtime, production yield, quality losses and final panel performance. HPA price, model, mixing ratio and operating conditions must be confirmed through an official quotation, applicable technical document and line trial.
