Diisocyanate-bonded particleboards

In Table V, the mechanical properties of particleboard bonded with nonemulsifiable diisocyanate modified with maize starch are given. The extender content for the diisocyanate was up to 20%. However, with increasing extender content, the internal bond of the boards decreased, and the thickness swelling increased the boards had V100 quality. First tests with adhesives of diisocyanates and starch were encouraging, and more attempts in developing new glue formulations...
