About

SUSBIND developed renewable binders as alternatives to fossil-based adhesives used in particle board and medium-density fibreboard. The binders were demonstrated in a furniture application using wood-based panels.

Made almost entirely from renewable resources, the binders are designed to provide performance comparable to conventional adhesives while improving the indoor-air-quality profile of wood-panel products.

Key benefits

  • Replaces fossil-based binders in wood panels
  • Uses crop residues as renewable feedstock
  • Demonstrated in a furniture application

Application

  • Particle board
  • Medium-density fibreboard
  • Furniture panels
