ABSTRAKPanel kayu merupakan produk yang terbuat dari bahan direkatkan dengan menggunakan resin, perekat digunakan dalam produksi lapis resin urea-formaldehid (UF). Resin UF adalah thermosetting urea dan formaldehid akan mengeras jika dipanaskan dapat dicetak ulang. Pada penelitian ini, pembuatan baku Urea Formaldehyde Concentrate (UFC). Tujuan ini mempelajari pengaruh perubahan sifat kinerja UF...

Fast-growing poplar wood was modified with low molecular weight ureaformaldehyde resin (UF) at 41.5% concentration or phenol-formaldehyde (PF) at concentrations of 15, 25, and 40%. The physical and mechanical properties were measured, and creep behavior tests were carried out under ambient indoor conditions. The specimens were subjected to 30 and 50% of their maximum bending load. The density, ...

This paper reports a comparison of adhesion behavior urea-formaldehyde (UF) with those melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MU) resins in bonding wood by analyzing the results published literatures. For this purpose, UF prepared blending low-viscosity resin (LVR) high-viscosity (HVR) at five different and two formaldehyde/urea (F/U) molar ratios (1.0 1.2) was compared MUF synthesized either simultaneous...

Low mole ratio urea-melamine-formaldehyde (UMF) resins synthesized with 2.5% and 5.0% melamine levels added at the beginning, middle, and end points of the first alkaline step of the typical urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin synthesis procedure were compared with typical UMF resins synthesized with melamine additions made at the final alkaline step. Various resin analysis, particleboard preparation,...

Major objectives of this study were to produce low-emitting wood pellet biofuel from selected agro-forest tree species, i.e., Kikar (Acacia nilotica), Oak (Quercus semicarpifolia), and Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), grown in the southern part Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province Pakistan using indigenously developed technology (pelletizer machine). Primary raw material, such as sawdust was obtained...

Adhesives products and demand for them in China are discussed in this paper with special emphasis on wood adhesives products in this decade. In 1994, the wood industries in China consumed more than 330,000 tons of adhesives. The estimated demand for wood adhesives will be more than 560,000 tons in the year 2000. The main wood adhesive used is urea-formaldehyde resin. Its consumption in 1994. wa...

Abstract Chestnut bur is an agro-waste material generated in the chestnut production. It a tannin-rich lignocellulosic which might be promising raw for low-formaldehyde composite particleboard production when using urea–formaldehyde (UF) as bonding adhesive. In this study, characteristics of were analyzed to assess its application value panel. Five-type particleboards manufactured from mixture ...

In this study, ironwood (Casuarina equisetifolia L.) raw material was used. 1.17 moles of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin (12.5%), solid paraffin (1.5%) and 10% ammonium chloride solution were added to the fibers. Boards with a density 0.694 g/cm³ produced in MDF production line. The physical mechanical properties boards evaluated. Swelling thickness for 2 24 h 2.53% 6.01%, respectively. Modulus r...

Three formaldehyde-based resins were prepared: urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin without melamine modifier (named UF0 resin) and melamineurea-formaldehyde (MUF) resins with melamine modifier added at two different synthesis stages (named MUF1 resin and MUF2 resin). The effects of the melamine addition stage on the performance and curing behavior of MUF resin were studied. Three-ply plywood bonded by...

Particleboard (PB) is mainly produced using urea–formaldehyde (UF) adhesive. However, the low hydrolytic stability of UF leads to poor water resistance by PB. This research aimed analyze effect hot-pressing temperatures and addition methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) in adhesive on physical mechanical properties The first experiment focused pressing temperature treatments including 130, 140,...
