Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a bonding resin suitable for use in coatings. The invention is directed to a method for preparing a bonding resin for use in a coating, wherein a solution of lignin in an organic solvent is mixed with polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether and optionally one or more additives.
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 is directed to a method for preparing a bonding resin, wherein lignin in powder form or in the form of an aqueous dispersion is mixed with at an aqueous solution of least one substantially formaldehyde-free crosslinker that includes at least one amine, amide, imine, imide, or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic functional group that can react with at least one functional group of the lignin, at a pH in the range of from 3 to 9, and optionally one or more additives.
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 relates to an activated lignin composition, its manufacture and its use thereof. It also relates to a resin comprising lignin, its manufacture and use.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to adhesive mixtures. In particular, the invention concerns the use of lignin in biobased hot-melt (non-pressure sensitive) and pressure sensitive adhesives, as well as novel adhesive mixtures suitable for use as such adhesives. The adhesive mixture comprises 25-85 wt-% lignin, 10-75 wt-% plasticizer, 0-50 wt-% tackifier and 0-40 wt-% waxes, by solid weight. The combined amount of lignin, plasticizer, tackifier and waxes is at least 90 wt-%, by solid weight, of the adhesive mixture.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a bonding resin, wherein lignin is provided in the form of an aqueous solution and mixed with one or more of glycerol diglycidyl ether, polyglycerol diglycidyl ether, polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether, glycerol triglycidyl ether, sorbitol polyglycidyl ether, alkoxylated glycerol polyglycidyl ether, trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, trimethylolpropane diglycidyl ether, polyoxypropylene glycol diglycidylether, polyoxypropylene glycol triglycidyl ether, diglycidylether of cyclohexane dimethanol, resorcinol diglycidyl ether, isosorbide diglycidyl ether, pentaerythritol tetraglycidyl ether, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether having 2-9 ethylene glycol units, propylene glycol diglycidyl ether having 1-5 propylene glycol units, and/or diglycidyl ether of terminal diol having a linear carbon chain of 3-6 carbon atoms; 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.
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).
