This study is carried out to determine the scavenging effect of resorcinol added into the urea formaldehyde resin on the formaldehyde release of plywood, as the preliminary study of using the phenolic substances. The method for formaldehyde determination used in this report is the improved chromotropic acid determination. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Resorcinol added into the urea formaldehyde adhesive acts as a good scavenger. 4 percent of resorcinol reduced the formaldehyde release to less than half content. 2. Adding resorcinol gave better glue shear strength than that of control, showing the peak of the shear strength, at 2 percent and decreased to the same strength as control along its content of 4 percent. 3. Moisture content of air dried plywood met the standard very well.
Papua New Guinea(PNG)산(産) TAUN재(材)를 이용한 합판제조 조건을 확립하였다. Taunwo(材)는 목질(木質)이 다양(多樣)하고 건조후 함수 분포가 균일(均一)치 못하여 퇴적(堆積)양생시키므로써 적정 함수분포를 유지할 수가 있었다. 또한 조직이 치밀하여 접착제와의 친화성이 낮아 집착불량이 용이하게 발생되기 쉬운 재(材)이나 제호시 수지율을 높여 도포하므로서 접착불량을 제거할 수가 있었다. Taun재(材)는 lauan재(材)나 kapur(材)와 혼합접합(混合接合) 하여도 접착력은 양호한 결과를 보였다.
