Abstract
Phenol–formaldehyde (PF) adhesive was successfully modified using lignin from palm fruit empty bunches and gluten from wheat four. The polymerization reaction was carried out under basic medium. 90% substitution of the phenol component of the Phenol–formaldehyde adhesives was achieved. Also 80% substitution for formaldehyde was also achieved. The mixture of 10:70:20 of phenol, lignin and formaldehyde under basic medium gelled at relatively low time (131min), with viscosity 768.2mPa.s, free formaldehyde value of 0.12% and solid content of 66.83%. The gel time was found to be a function of formaldehyde-phenol ratio; however introduction of lignin also affected the gel time positively. Further modification using gluten further lowered the gel time and free formaldehyde to 95min and 0.08%. Also, there was remarkable improvement on the solid content from 66.83 to 74.32%. Hence, modification of Phenol–formaldehyde resol using lignin and gluten can improve the resol quality.
