Interest in pine bark as a source of adhesive components began to accelerate following the oil crisis of 1973. Sodium hydroxide extracts of southern pine bark were successfully used in replacing up to 40% of the phenolic resin for bonding of particleboards, oriented strandboards, and composites with a flakeboard core and veneer facing (50f51). Similar results were obtained with extracts from patula pine (52). Encouraged by results of this type, the New Zealand Forest Products Ltd. Corporation expanded their radiata pine bark tannin pilot plant to full-scale operation in 1981 to produce an extract trademarked Tannaphen. This material was crosslinked with paraformaldehyde and used as an adhesive...
