Addition of ammonium hydroxide as formaldehyde scavenger for sesenduk (Endospermum diadenum) wood compregnated using phenolic resins

Compregnated sesenduk (Endospermum diadenum) was produced using low and medium molecular weight phenol formaldehyde resin. 0, 1, 1.5 and 3 % of aqueous ammonium hydroxide (NH3·H2O) were incorporated into the resin to act as formaldehyde scavenger. A maximum of 85.7 % reduction in formaldehyde emissi...

Description
Summary:Compregnated sesenduk (Endospermum diadenum) was produced using low and medium molecular weight phenol formaldehyde resin. 0, 1, 1.5 and 3 % of aqueous ammonium hydroxide (NH3·H2O) were incorporated into the resin to act as formaldehyde scavenger. A maximum of 85.7 % reduction in formaldehyde emission was recorded, but the mechanical and physical properties of the treated sesenduk wood were negatively affected by the ammonium hydroxide addition.
