“…Obvious variations in formaldehyde emission were found among the panels and within panels of the same type of PB and MDF, which was in agreement with previous investigations (Wiglusz et al 2000;Salem et al 2012b;Roffael et al 1979). Additionally, Aydin et al (2006) reported that poplar and spruce plywood formaldehyde emissions decreased with increasing veneer moisture content.…”

Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) is an important forest species, comprising approximately 55.9% of the growing stock of Czech forests. The variations in the wood densities from three different locations were evaluated with respect to their mechanical and physical properties. Also, mechanical properties and formaldehyde emission of particleboard (PB) and medium-density fibreboard (MDF) panels produced from Norway spruce wood were investigated. The overall average density of the spruce wood was 509.22 kg/m 3 , ranging from 400.95 ± 27.92 to 617.50 ± 29.91 kg/m 3 by location. Most of the panels exceeded the requirements of EN standards for the measurements of MOE, MOR, and the internal bond. Furthermore, the results showed highly significant differences (p < 0.001) among the panels for PB and MDF, which could be related to inter-panel variations. The formaldehyde emissions of PB and MDF were below the E1 emission limits. Moreover, positive correlations were found between the formaldehyde emissions (perforator and gas analysis methods) and board density. The results of this study verify our knowledge of wood density variation as affected by location as well as the age of trees and their relationship to mechanical and physical properties. Consequently, the variation in mechanical properties of the produced panels as well as the formaldehyde emission can further contribute to creating models to predict the quality of the product.

“…It is known that formaldehyde gas can induce asthma-like symptom [1] and cause central nervous system damage and blood, immune system, and developmental disorders, as well as blindness and respiratory disease [2]. Formaldehyde has been widely used in many manufacturing processes, and the gas-phase compound has also been found at low levels at homes and in offices and urban environments.…”

“…Formaldehyde emission tests on resin samples were carried out using the small chamber method 36. Each resin (3.4 g) were milled by means of a rotor miller (Retsch GmbH, Haan, Germany), placed in a Petri dish (90 mm diameter) and inserted in the test chamber (Inlemar, Paterna, Spain).…”

ABSTRACT:The effectiveness of acrylic resins as low formaldehyde emission binders for particleboard production was explored. In particular, a multifunctional methacrylic monomer, ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate, classified as nonskin and eyes irritant, was selected and tested. In comparison panels realized with classic ureaformaldehyde (UF) binder were also prepared. No significant differences were found through the morpholocigal analysis of samples prepared with the two different binders. Moreover, particleboard panels realized with the acrylic binder showed better mechanical properties and lower water absorption and thickness swelling in comparison with corresponding panels realized with the UF binders. Furthermore, the replacement of the UF with the acrylic binder did not affect thermal insulation properties of the panels. Formaldehyde release tests revealed that particleboard panels obtained by applying the acrylic binder can be classified as E1 following the European classification and even F**** following the stricter Japanese classification.
