Current environmental regulations are encouraging the development of new adhesives and binders for bonding wood and wood composites. Hence,
manufacturers are developing new technologies to improve the performance of the adhesive and also to make products that are commercially viable.
There has been a resurgence of interest lately in the use of lignin and soy based natural resins.
Although they have achieved only limited market acceptance to date, the market drivers and on-going research suggest that natural adhesives will grow faster than synthetic adhesives in these applications.
Read on to know more about the current status of lignin and soy as wood adhesives and binders along with their:
- Value propositions
- Performance Challenges
- Pros and Cons over Synthetic adhesives
