In order to improve the flame resistance and reduce the formaldehyde emission of plywood, a multifunctional formaldehyde scavenger with flame resistance (FSFR) was prepared and used to treat plywoods bonded with high molar ratio urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin. The weight percent gain (WPG), formaldehyde emission, oxygen index (OI), and bonding strength of plywoods after FSFR treated were measured to evaluated properties of FSFR. The results showed that the formaldehyde emission of the treated plywood was 0.1-0.32 mg/L, which could meet the E0 grade requirement (<0.5 mg/L ). The flame resistance of treated plywood increased significantly and the bonding strength changed little. The formaldehyde emission decreased 96.8 % and OI increased 47.2 % and the bonding strength kept unchanged when FSFR reached 8.87 % compared with that of untreated plywood.

In order to characterize the curing behavior of low molar ratio urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin, the curing time and thermal analysis in curing reaction of the UF resins and the bonding strength and formaldehyde emission of plywood bonded by five kinds of low molar ratio UF resins with six different curing agents were studied. The results indicated that the UF resins with the molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea more than 1.0 could get reasonable curing time. The heat enthalpy of UF resins significantly increased with the enhancing the acidity of curing agent. The plywood manufactured by the UF resins with 1.1 molar ratio showed much higher bonding strength and lower formaldehyde emission.

In this study, Thermogravimetry (TG) were used to analyze thermal degradation properties of two kinds of low-molar ratio of the melamine-modified urea-formaldehyde resin (MUF). The MUF was calculated using Kissinger equation and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa equation Resin pyrolysis activation energy. The results showed that the curing time of low mole was longer than that of MUF resin (muf-b), the content of free formaldehyde was lower, and the formaldehyde emission and wet bonding strength of plywood were reduced by 65.79% and 21.90%, respectively. TG test showed that the pyrolysis process of MUF resins with different molar ratios can be divided into three stages: dehydration, rapid pyrolysis and carbonization. At the same heating rate, the weight loss rate, peak conversion rate and carbon residue of the high molar ratio MUF resin (MUF-a) in the fast pyrolysis stage are larger than those of the MUF-b resin. The MUF-a resin pyrolysis activation energy is 166.76 kJ/mol, and the MUF-b resin pyrolysis activation energy is 95.30 kJ/mol. High molar ratio resin has higher pyrolysis activation energy and better thermal stability.

The purpose of the study was to manufacture water-resistance plywood with using UF resin modified by emulsifiable polyisocyanate. The emulsifiable polyisocyanate which contains plenty of hydrophilic segments and teminal isocyanate groups were synthesized by reaction between various kinds of polyether polyols and polymeric methane dipthenyl diisocyanate (pMDI). A type of composite adhesive was obtained from the mixture of emulsifiable polyisocyanate and urea formaldehyde resin. The process parameters, such as the molar ratio of –NCO and –OH, mass fraction of emulsifiable polyisocyanate in UF resin and accessory ingredient have a great influence on the composite adhesive. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) had been used to analyze the chemical structure of bonding interface. The results showed that the composite adhesive consisting of UF resin and emulsifiable polyisocyanate content of 7.5% and kaolin content of 1.5% was used in plywood with high physical and mechanical properties, water resistance and low formaldehyde emission.

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was used for improving the formaldehyde (HCHO) emission and bonding strength of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesive in fiberboard and plywood. The original NCC was modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and the wetting property with UF resin adhesive was improved by 26.4%. The UF resin adhesive with modified NCC was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The crystal region of UF resin adhesive was influenced by NCC and the diffraction intensity of the peak at 2θ = 22.82° was enhanced significantly. The thermal stability of UF resin adhesive with 1.0% modified NCC increased by 4.9%. And modified NCC led hydroxyl groups into the UF resin adhesive. HCHO emission and bonding strength of the UF resin adhesive with modified NCC were tested according to Chinese National Standards GB/T 17657-1999 and GB/T 9846-2004. The HCHO emission of fiberboard and plywood with 1.5% modified NCC decreased by 13.0% and 53.2%, respectively. The bonding strength of fiberboard increased by 158.3% (from 0.12 MPa of control group to 0.31 MPa of fiberboard with 1.5% modified NCC), while 1.5% modified NCC led to a 23.6% increase in the plywood.

For improving the performance of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin, modified low molar ratio UF resins were developed to improve water resistance properties and reduce the formaldehyde emission of its bonded products. The effects of modifier feeding amount on the character of the cured resins were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurement. The viscosity, pH value, solid content, free formaldehyde content, pot time, and curing time of the UF resins were also tested according to Chinese National Standards methods. The results show that the modified 1.00 molar ratio UF resins show lower free formaldehyde content and higher boiling-water-resistance comparing with unmodified ones. The boiling-water-resistant bonding strength of poplar plywood bonded with modified UF resin at 140 °C hot-press temperature can reach type I grade (100 °C water bath 3h) plywood requirement and the formaldehyde emission can meet the E0 grade plywood need.

Addition Level

Low formaldehyde emission and high bonding strength were two basic criterions of a good urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive (UFRA). In our study, melamine modified methylolurea solution (MUS), was synthesized and used as modifier for UFRA. The bonding strength and formaldehyde emission of urea-formaldehyde resin adhesives(UFRA) were influenced by some factors such as F/U molar ratio of the main resin, F/U molar ratio of modifier, melamine content, mixing ratio of main resin with modifier, which were investigated by a series of single-factor experiments. The results showed that the best adhesive bonding strength of UFRA was 0.93MPa and the lowest formaldehyde emission was 0.43mg / L, when F/U molar ratio of the main resin was 1.5, F/U molar ratio of the MUS was 0.5, the mass fraction of melamine addition level was 5wt.% of MUS, and the mixing mass ratio of methylolurea solution (MUS) to the main UF resin was 20:80.

Abstract Sludge of pulp and paper mills have natural adhesive properties. The primary sludge (PS, contains fibers) and secondary sludge (SS, contains proteins) could also be suitable for manufacturing medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Protein in SS can react with formaldehyde (HCHO), and as an additive in urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins it can reduce formaldehyde emission. Thus, SS was investigated in the present study. PS and SS were collected from two mills and characterized in terms of chemical composition, fiber length distribution, pH, and buffering capacity. MDF samples were processed according to an experimental design, in which UF resin content was reduced from 12% to 8% and replaced by SS in the range of 5%–15%. Gel time measurement showed high SS reactivity with UF resin. The SS reduced HCHO emissions by up to 68% compared to control panels, without compromising internal bond strength. The bonding effect of SS was lower than expected due to the high pH, thus the buffering capacity reduced UF performance. Moreover, sludge reduced bending performance. Dimensional stability was the greatest disadvantage of sludge panels.
