The Impact

Through the study of the effects of different dosage of additives on the properties of urea formaldehyde resin adhesive prepared at low mole ratio of formaldehyde/urea, optimize the synthetic process of the UF resin which is used at the E0 grade plywood. The results showed that the product synthesized under the following condition: the mole ratio of formaldehyde/urea is 0.99:1, the dosage of the specific additive is 1.0% and that of melamine is 3-4%, had a good comprehensive performance and the formaldehyde emission of the plywood meets the E0 grade which is environmental-friendly.

Formaldehyde emission still remains a major disadvantage of widely applied formaldehyde-containing amino resins such as UF (urea-formaldehyde) resin and MUF (melamine-urea-formaldehyde) resin. The compositions of adhesives for plywood manufacturing have to contain a proper extenders in order to adjust their viscosity. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of protein-rich soy flour (SF) as the extender for adhesives. The composition of flours and their ability to absorb the formaldehyde were determined. Properties of liquid resins such as gel time, viscosity, pH and solid content were investigated. The possible chemical interaction between the extenders and resins were assessed with the use of FTIR spectroscopy. Plywood panels manufactured using UF and MUF adhesives with the soy flour introduced as the extender in various concentrations were tested in terms of shear strength and formaldehyde release. Studies have shown that soy flour has a favorable composition and formaldehyde-scavenging ability. The addition of SF affected resins properties such as viscosity and gel time but showed no influence on their pH and solid content. FTIR analysis has not explained the chemical interaction between resin and extender. The application of soy flour in the concentration of 15% for UF resin and 10% for MUF resin allowed to produce plywood characterized by improved bonding quality and decreased formaldehyde emission.
