Particleboard and method for forming a particleboard

摘要

A binder system made from renewable resources is used to produce particleboards. In a preferred embodiment the binder includes soy protein isolate, a plasticizer such as glycerol and a vegetable oil derivative such as maleinized methyl ester of tung oil. Particleboard is formed from a source of lignocellulose, the binder, and optionally an alkali modified soy protein and emulsified wax.
