Abstract: | Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins are the most widely used polycondensation resins today in manufacturing particleboards. The performance of UF resins in their processing is greatly influenced by curing characteristics. The cure process has been monitored by TG-DTA technique on a Setaram labsysTM instrument in dynamic heating conditions at different heating rates. Commercial UF resins from different suppliers used in Estonian particleboard factories were selected for TG-DTA measurements. Experiments were carried out without and with catalysts. Ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate were used. Curing characteristics were evaluated both for fresh and aged resins. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
