Abstract

Steam explosion lignin phenol formaldehyde (SEL–PF) adhesives were prepared by ternary gradual copolymerization. The parameters for the phenolate of steam explosion lignin (SEL) and preparation of SEL–PF adhesives were optimized. Under the optimum phenolate conditions, the phenolic hydroxyl content of lignin increased by 130%, whilst the methoxyl content was reduced by 68%. The SEL–PF adhesives were used to prepare plywoods by hot-pressing. The pH value, viscosity, solid content, free phenol content and free formaldehyde content of SEL–PF adhesives were investigated. The bonding strengths of the plywoods glued with SEL–PF adhesives were determined. The maximum SEL replacement percentage of phenol reached 70wt%, and the properties of adhesives and plywoods met the Chinese National Standard (GB/T 14732-2006) for first grade plywood.
