Manufacturing of BWP-Grade Plywood from Resin Adhesive Using Animal Protein (Glue) by Partial Replacement of Phenol

By Pijus Kanti Khatua, Rajib Kumar Dubey, S C Sahoo, M S Matin

Abstract: Abstract This paper presents the development of plyboard using phenol–glue–formaldehyde (PGF) resin and their basic mechanical properties. Phenoplast and aminoplast-based resins is the important adhesive for the manufacturing of boiling water proof (BWP) grade, shuttering and moisture resistance plywood. Environmental concerns and higher cost of petroleum-based resins have resulted in the development of technologies to replace phenol partially by biomaterials for the manufacturing of resin adhesive. Natural bio-based materials such …
