Abstract
A non-carbohydrate polyhydroxy component(s) is used in a binder composition to facilitate manufacture of wood particle boards.
Claims16
A method of manufacturing a wood particle board comprising:
- a) mixing wood particles with a binder composition having a dry weight comprising at least 40% by weight (wt. %) of the binder composition to produce resinated wood particles comprising wood particles coated with the binder composition;
- b) forming a resinated mat comprising the resinated wood particles arranged in the form of a mat of loosely arranged resinated wood particles;
- and
- c) forming a wood particle board by curing the binder composition while subjecting the resinated mat to pressure;
- wherein the binder composition comprises 0.1-25 wt. % of at least one non-carbohydrate polyhydroxy component for reducing or eliminating resinated wood particle clumping.
