Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a bonding resin, lignin in solid form or in the form of a dispersion in water is mixed with a crosslinker; and optionally one or more additives followed by addition of a basic solution. The bonding resin is useful for example in the manufacture of laminates, mineral wool insulation and wood products such as plywood, oriented strandboard (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), medium density fiberboards (MDF), high density fiberboards (HDF), parquet flooring, curved plywood, veneered particleboards, veneered MDF or particle boards, laminates or mineral wool insulation.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for preparing a binder for an asphalt composition. The binder comprises lignin, a renewable and bio-based material, which replaces part of the fossil-based bitumen.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for lignin dissolution in which partial methylolation of lignin is carried out during the step of preparing a solution of lignin in an aqueous medium comprising alkali. The lignin prepared according to the process of the present invention can be used to manufacture lignin-based phenolic resins, which are particularly useful in the manufacture of laminates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid lignin mixture comprising 3-50 wt% methanol, 12-50 wt% ligninand5-85 wt% aqueous alkali solution wherein the concentration of said aqueous alkali solution is 1 to 50 wt% of alkali in water, based on the weight of said alkali solution prior to mixing with the other components of the mixture. The liquid lignin mixture can be used to manufacture lignin-based phenolic resins, which are particularly useful in the manufacture of laminates.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an adhesive formulation comprising lignin, suitable for use in the manufacture of for example wood products.The lignin is provided in the form of a solution or dispersion or in dry solid form, such as in the form of a powder. The adhesive formulation also comprises phenol- formaldehyde (PF) resin and/or lignin-phenol-formaldehyde (LPF) resin. The adhesive formulation may also comprise extenders, hardeners, fillers and other additives, to achieve an adhesive formulation useful in the manufacture of for example wood products, such as plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL).The adhesive formulation can also be used in the manufacture of laminates and oriented strand boards.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a bonding resin, wherein a resin prepared from lignin, phenol and formaldehyde and comprising a formaldehyde scavenger, is mixed with a resin prepared from phenol and formaldehyde and comprising a formaldehyde scavenger to achieve a mixture useful as a bonding resin useful in the manufacture of oriented strand board (OSB).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a bonding resin, wherein lignin is provided in the form of a solution in ammonia and/or an organic base and mixed with one or more crosslinkers and optionally one or more additives. The bonding resin is useful for example in the manufacture of laminates, mineral wool insulation and wood products such as plywood, oriented strandboard (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), medium density fiberboards (MDF), high density fiberboards (HDF), parquet flooring, curved plywood, veneered particleboards, veneered MDF or particle boards. The bonding resin is also useful for example in composites, molding compounds and foundry applications.
