“…Phenol resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF) was used to manufacture three-layered batai CLT (Liew and Maining, 2021), hybrid-wooden-laminated timber (Choi et al, 2018), and tropical hybrid CLT (Galih et al, 2020). The double spread of water-based polymer isocyanate was applied to produce sengon CLT (Apriliana, 2012), resorcinol was used to manufacture domestic larch CLT (Song and Hong, 2016), polyvinyl acetate to bond densified batai CLT (Feng and Chiang, 2020), polyurethane adhesive to manufacture southern pine CLT and mixed Japanese Larch and yellow poplar CLT (Hindman and Bouldin, 2015;Song and Kim, 2022). The primary drawbacks of synthetic adhesives are that they are expensive (Santoso et al, 2014) and pose potential health risks due to their enormous formaldehyde emission (Yauk et al, 2020).…”
