Abstract

This study analyzed what type of adhesive is most suitable for use in the manufacture of Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco wood blockboards impregnated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Three types of adhesives that could potentially be used to form the boards were analyzed: polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF). Bond quality was determined by the glue-line strength in boards made with impregnated and non-impregnated wood. The use of PEG as a stabilizer of Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco wood did not interfere in the adhesion process when UF and PF adhesives were tested. The PVAc adhesive decreased (
