The effect of borax pentahydrate addition to urea formaldehyde on the mechanical characteristics and free formaldehyde content of plywood
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the effects of borax pentahydrate addition to urea formaldehyde (UF) on the bonding characteristics and free formaldehyde content have been studied. Experiments related to the bending strength, withdrawal shear strength and free formaldehyde content have been conducted on the three-layered beech and poplar plywood which are prepared by the addition of borax pentahydrate into their adhesive mixtures in certain amounts. Addition of borax pentahydrate into the adhesive mixture did not statistically affect the bending strength and withdrawal shear strength of the plywood but did reduce the free formaldehyde content.
