From the rubber-making process itself, whether it is an alkali-acid-alkali process or an acid-base process, whether it is to generate Urocycline or to generate mono-hydroxytotetrahydroxymethylurea, some of the chemical bonds will generate formaldehyde during the hot-pressing process, and a low
molar ratio is used. Although glue-making can reduce the free formaldehyde in the glue, it can also reduce the amount of formaldehyde released in the board to a certain extent, but the glue is difficult to cure, and at the same time it will increase the water absorption
expansion rate of the board, and the
static bending strength and
internal bonding strength of the board. Reduce, because to meet the
product standard of plywood, the ratio of the amount of urea and aldehyde is generally above 1:1.05, and the
molar ratio should not be too low.
[0003] Using post-
processing methods, such as using
ammonia gas to fumigate complex equipment, will cause environmental
pollution and increase costs; spraying aldehyde remover on the pressed board and then
hot pressing, although it can reduce the formaldehyde emission of the board to a certain extent , but reduce productivity, increase
energy consumption, increase cost, repeat operations, increase labor, and greatly increase the cost of products
[0004] Through the
surface coating process and spraying formaldehyde scavenger, the formaldehyde emission of the board can be reduced. After the scavenger is consumed or the film formed on the surface is incomplete, the release of formaldehyde cannot be prevented; the board with complete and tight film formation,
Formaldehyde can be sealed in the board, but when there is a damaged place on the surface of the
coating film, the formaldehyde will overflow from the damaged place, just like the surface of a
balloon has holes, and the air will slowly overflow, while the furniture and boards will leak out during decoration. It is impossible for the membrane to be completely closed, so it is generally impossible to fundamentally eliminate formaldehyde by using the
coating process, and the
surface coating may bring new
pollution of
benzene compounds. And spraying formaldehyde scavenger may also make the
surface coating Discoloration, bringing new
pollution[0005] During the
hot pressing and curing process of the board, the
decomposition of methylol urea,
ether bond and part of the
methylene bond and the oxidation of part of the
methanol lead to the emission of formaldehyde in the board. This is because the scavenger for removing free formaldehyde in the glue cannot effectively act Due to the technical barriers caused by the mandatory standard for formaldehyde emission of wood-based panels and foreign technical standards in 2002, many panel manufacturers in China who lack the means of reducing formaldehyde are facing difficulties, and the export of domestic panels has been severely restricted. Therefore, domestic board manufacturers are in urgent need of effective means of reducing aldehydes and methods of removing aldehydes. Therefore, to fundamentally solve the problem of indoor formaldehyde release, we must solve the problem from the source of board production, that is, from the glue and hot pressing process of bonding boards. Most of the existing formaldehyde scavengers are based on eliminating free formaldehyde in the glue and adding active
hydrogen to the glue as the direction of effort. Like CN92107276.7, a microcrystal containing
magnesium and soaked in urea is used. Porous clay attapulgite is used as a free formaldehyde scavenger in the glue. CN93121414.9 adopts
sulfanilic acid, urea, etc. to join in the urea glue to be used as a free formaldehyde catcher in the glue, which can reduce the free formaldehyde in the glue more, However, the plate after hot pressing still releases more formaldehyde
Some materials use
hydrogen peroxide,
persulfate, etc. to promote the oxidation of formaldehyde, but also oxidize the
methanol in the glue. CN02138527.0 proposes to use
hydrazide compound and penetrant as the post-treatment agent for the industrial production of wood-based panels. CN02113857.5 Adopt
hydrazide,
metal chloride,
vitamin C,
ferrous sulfate, penetrating agent etc. as the free formaldehyde
trapping agent that releases in the newly-built house, CN01133329.4 adopts
triethanolamine, EDTA,
glucuronide etc. as the
scavenging agent of indoor formaldehyde pollution and CN01140051.X is also used as a scavenger for indoor formaldehyde pollution. CN03100568.3 uses tea
phenol as a formaldehyde absorption and conversion substance. These patents are for
processing the formaldehyde produced after the production of wood-based panels, which are palliative means and have not solved the problem from the source. So far, no patent has been found to solve the release problem of formaldehyde in the production process of wood-based panels. The composition of the formaldehyde catcher sprayed on the surface of plywood in 1967 abroad: 4%
ammonia (25%), 1.5% hydrazine
hydrate (80% ), 1.5%
casein and 90% water, it can only react with aldehydes under liquid and acidic conditions, and bring new pollution. It is powerless for subsequent formaldehyde release, and it provides more active
hydrogen than urea to the glue. Substances that can react with aldehydes, such as hydrazine, aromatic amines, long-chain amines, urea,
phenol,
ammonia, inorganic
ammonium salts, etc., adding such additives to urea-formaldehyde glue can effectively eliminate free aldehydes in the glue, but Although the amount of formaldehyde released in the board after hot pressing has been reduced, it still cannot meet the higher requirements of foreign indicators. The characteristic of the glue partner sold on the market is that it can remove free formaldehyde in the glue, which is very important for the hot pressing process. The removal ability of formaldehyde in the plywood is poor. Most of the domestic plywood manufacturers lack the corresponding means of reducing aldehydes and methods of removing aldehydes. The level of manufacturers is very small
