The use of resins in wood
Integrating resins into wood is used to improve the properties of wood, such as its durability, resistance to moisture, decay and insects, and to improve its mechanical characteristics such as resistance to impact, bending and compression.
This is particularly useful for increasing the longevity and versatility of wood in a variety of applications, from construction to furniture making, and even in outdoor uses where wood is more susceptible to rapid deterioration.
How are resins integrated into wood?
The method of integrating a resin into wood is determined by a number of factors, which vary according to the final objective of the treatment, the type of wood, the properties of the resin used, as well as practical and economic considerations.
There are 3 main methods for incorporating resin into wood:
- Vacuum pressure impregnation (wood is placed in a vacuum chamber before being exposed to the resin. The pressure is then increased to force the resin deep into the wood's pores)
- Direct injection (resin is injected directly into the wood through drilled holes or cuts, enabling deep penetration into specific areas)
- And finally, dipping
Why ResiCare for wood?
Beyond tires, ResiCare is extending its adhesion expertise in solutions to non-structural and structural wood market.
Features: The ResiCare resins are developed to be used in various applications, starting with plywood, and extending with fiber boards (MDF), Oriented Strand Board (OSB), particle boards, laminated veneer lumber, etc.
Because first step matters, the first resin for plywood applications has been commercialized in 2021. This is a water resistant ULEF resin (Ultra Low Emission Formaldehyde) which opens our path towards a 100% formol-free and biosourced resin. In line, the team has been developing the first resin which is high performance, biosourced and without any SVHC molecules.
Benefits: Both binding solutions offers a high level of performance, competing with historical resins while significantly reducing its impact on people and the environment. Its unique formulation offers mechanical properties and provides increased resistance to temperature and water (“Classe 3”).
Advantages: This makes today and tomorrow’s regulatory constraints an opportunity to make possible a safer and more sustainable adhesion future. Indeed the ResiCare resins solves issues normally arising with formaldehyde-based solutions while opening the path to innovative biosourcing. Our technology has been industrially validated with our pioneer plywood customers.
