Zeolite filler, activated in electromagnetic fields, for the production of plywood

Abstract

In the course of this work the reduction of emissions of free formaldehyde from the finished plywood is identified, as well as an increase in shear strength to the adhesive layer. Obtained effects in the manufacture of plywood are due to the use of adhesive compositions using natural zeolite sorbent filler – clinoptilolite, previously activated in various electromagnetic fields (fields of over high frequency and weak pulsed magnetic fields). The optimal processing modes of minerals with electromagnetic fields are defined, providing an optimum ratio of values ​​of free formaldehyde emission levels and shear strength to the adhesive layer. The results indicate the possibility of industrial use of the developed techniques.
