Abstract

A study to optimize adhesive content and hot pressing time for the manufacture of three-layer medium density fiberboard (MDF) through the cure acceleration of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives by adding three carbonates in the core layer was conducted. The performance of prepared MDF panels was used to evaluate carbonate type, carbonate level, PF resin content and hot pressing time. PF resin content and total hot pressing time were reduced by the addition of propylene carbonate.
