The Results

- Development and implementation of urea-formaldehyde and/or melamine-urea-formaldehyde adhesive with low formaldehyde content.

- Development and implementation of natural based adhesives from wood and/or agricultural residues, which would lower the formaldehyde content in boards.

- Implementation of formaldehyde scavengers (synthetic and natural based scavenger).

- Research on suitable board production conditions for lowering the formaldehyde emission.

- Implementation of novel surfacing/coating material for lowering the formaldehyde emission.

- Development of spectroscopic based models.

The main end user group are the WBP and Furniture producers.
