A Review of Bio-Based Adhesives from Primary and Secondary Biomass for Wood Composite Applications

Abstract Today there is a great demand in the market of wood-based panels like medium density fibreboard (MDF), plywood and oriented strand board (OSB). These boards provide functionality various industrial fields from building to furniture production. All are produced timber some type binding resin, most often used Europe phenol formaldehyde (FF), isocyanate (MDI) melamine urea (MUF). resins guarantee sturdiness material but toxic humans makes recycling very difficult. There attempts industry transition away fossil-based adhesives. Various have been developed using lignin tannin or protein. Soy based adhesive SOYAD™ has already reached market, other soy protein-based adhesives integrated into ultra-low emission particle Nu green 2 ® Transform™. This paper gives an overview on bio-based that potential be for panel
