Isocyanate Resins for Particleboard: PMDI vs EMDI

Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to determine which of the isocyanate resins, PMDI or EMDI, was better for use in particleboard manufacture. It was found that particleboards bonded with EMDI exhibited superior mechanical properties to those bonded with PMDI. This was particularly noticeable when the resins were applied at a rate of 2%. At this low dosage EMDI satisfied EN 312 criteria for boards in interior fitments while 4% was needed to meet the requirements for load bearing panels in humid conditions. Isocyana… Show more

“…However, values reported in literature refer to particleboards made with formaldehyde based adhesives. Isocyanate in castor oil base PU resin requires more MC particles, as outlined by Nascimento 9 , to promote the reaction with hydroxyl groups compounding lignocellulosic material 31 . According to Silva 32 , besides the main reaction among resin components, other reactions can occur, as isocyanate (highly reactive group) with water, releasing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and thereby facilitating polymer expansion.…”

“…Results obtained by Kojima and Suzuki 10 demonstrate adhesive influence in properties after aging, once panels containing isocyanate-based resin had better properties retention. According Papadopoulos et al 31 , wood-based panels bonded with MDI exhibit extreme resistance to humidity, low levels of swelling and high mechanical strength. Figure 7 shows bending specimens before and after aging, samples in conditions NA, AAA and AAAS .…”

“…Of these resins, polymeric methylene di(phenyl isocyanate) (pMDI) was used in Germany for the first time in the early 1970s to manufacture particleboards. Since then, it has been widely used for the production of fiberboards and OSB in Europe and used by a few medium-density fiberboard mills in North America (Papadopoulos et al 2002). The pMDI resin penetrates deeper into wood cell walls than PF resins used to manufacture OSB (Johnson and Kamke 1994;Frazier and Schmidt 1996;Kamke and Lee 2007), which is related to the low molecular weight of pMDI, as well as the low surface tension.…”
