Abstract Here, the effects of substituting portions of fossil-based phenol in phenol formaldehyde resin by renewable lignin from two different sources are investigated using a factorial screening experimental design. Among the resins
consumed by the wood-based industry, phenolics are one of the most important
types used for impregnation, coating or gluing purposes. They are prepared by
condensing phenol with formaldehyde (PF). One major use of PF is as matrix
polymer for decorative laminates in exterior cladding and wet-room applications.
Important requirements for such PFs are favorable flow properties (low viscosity),
rapid curing behavior (high reactivity) and… More >
