Physical properties of homogeneous particleboard based on acacia tree and polyurethane adhesive as a resins

The formaldehyde-based adhesives have always been chosen for manufacturer in the making of particleboard because of the cost. However, it has low moisture resistance and high water absorption. At the same time, formaldehyde-based adhesive also produced gaseous emission that can cause cancer and bron...
