Abstract

Larix tannin-phenol-formaldehyde (TPF) adhesive, having 60% by weight of phenol being replaced, was evaluated for its utilization in plywood. The kinetic characteristic of the TPF resin was investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the results obtained from the DSC scans show that the resin has a little bit different thermochemical behavior from that of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin. Two kinds of plywood panels were produced using the TPF adhesive in laboratory. The desired test results met the Chinese GB 9846-88 and ZB B70006-88, respectively, and the long assembly time of TPF resin in preparing plywood can be improved by mixing with the filler.All the properties of plywoods bonded with the TPF adhesive were compared with those obtained with synthetic PF adhesive.
