    Abstract : Hot melt adhesives (HMA) are a class of adhesives that, unlike solvent-or waterborne counterparts, do not contain organic solvents or other carriers, and are produced and subsequently applied in a molten state. The main components of HMA are polymers, tackifying resins, and a plasticiser. READ MORE

  4. 3. Exploring the sustainability potential of an algae-based wood adhesive : Comparative and explorative environmental life cycle assessment of algae- vs. formaldehyde- based adhesives for particleboard production

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Charlotte Rasche; [2020]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment; particleboard; bio-adhesive; wood-adhesive; bio-resin; algae; macroalgae; seaweed; kelp; formaldehyde; greener production; environmental impacts; biobased; design for the environment;

    Abstract : Adhesives used for wood composites such as particleboard are conventionally of petrochemical nature with formaldehyde as a base substance and represent a pain point in the industry due their toxic emissions. Consequently, adhesives are subject to an agenda to develop more benign, low-impact alternatives. READ MORE
