Abstract A three reagents adhesive system for wood particleboards not containing any aldehyde was developed by the reaction of glucose or sucrose with triacetin (glycerin triacetate) and with hexamethylene diamine. The system was found
to be based on the mix of three reactions, namely the reaction of (i) glucose with
triacetin, (ii) of the diamine with triacetin, and (iii) of glucose with the diamine.
The chemical species formed were identified by Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption
Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectrometry. Wood particleboard
panels were prepared with this adhesive system and gave good internal bond More >
