This study reports the results of a study aimed at reducing the free formaldehyde content of Phenolformaldehyde resin by using Urea as means for forming a reversible adduct with formaldehyde. The highly volatile formaldehyde has an unpleasant odour and irritates the eyes and nasal passages. The free formaldehyde content (FFC) of the modified resol resin was determined by titration method. With ...

The objective of this research was to provide a useful approach of polymer synthesis for accelerating the fast cure of phenol-urea-formaldehyde (PUF) resin as wood adhesive by optimizing its structure and composition. The PUF resins containing high contents of very reactive groups such as para-methylol groups were synthesized by reacting methylolurea, phenol, and formaldehyde in the presence of...

there are adequate sources for wood adhesives, but scarcity of oil resources can affect the cost and future availability of oil based resins. for avoiding of this process, seeking for feasibility of replacement of these oil feedstocks is necessary. in present work, thermal behavior of urea formaldehyde resin modified by furfural was investigated. the thermo-gravimetry was used for this purpose,...

For the development of a cost-effective melamine-modified urea formaldehyde resin (MUF), the study evaluated the effects of reaction pH and melamine content on resin properties and bond performance of the MUF resin adhesive systems. Eight resins, each with three replicates, were prepared in a factorial experiment that included two formulation variables: two reaction pHs (i.e., 4.5 and 8.0) and ...

MO XF, FAN DB, QIN TF & CHU FX. 2015. Curing characteristics and adhesion performance of phenol–formaldehyde resins with composite additives. The curing characteristics of cure-accelerated phenol–formaldehyde resins with composite additives were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry analysis and gelation test. The pot lives and adhesion performances of phenol–formaldehyde resins wer...

The objective of this study was to manufacture particleboard made from UF with low formaldehyde (E1) for use in indoor environments. The influence of UF in particles on the formaldehyde emission and its mechanical properties were investigated. The experimental results showed that the formaldehyde emission released decreased linearly with consumption UF-low formaldehyde- particle. Formaldehyde e...
