The present invention relates to a binder composition for wood material boards, as in the form of a one-component
system, the binder composition comprising a) at least one
sugar, and b) at least one mixture composed of at least one compound of general formula (I) R1 aSiX1 (4-a) (I), wherein X1 is alkoxy, aryloxy, acyloxy, and R1 is an organic
moiety selected from the group comprising
alkyl,
aryl, cycloalkyl, which can be interrupted by -O- or -NH-, and wherein R1 comprises at least one functional group Q1, which is selected from a group containing an acryl group, an acryloxy group, an amino group, an aminoalkylamino group, a methacryl group, a methacryloxy group, a cyano group, an isocyano group, an
epoxide group, and an alkenyl group, and a is 0, 1, 2, 3, in particular 0 or 1, at least one compound of general formula (II) R2 bSiX2 (4-b) (II), wherein X2 is alkoxy, aryloxy, acyloxy, R2 is a non-hydrolyzable organic
moiety R2 selected from the group comprising
alkyl and
aryl, and b is 1, 2, 3, or 4, preferably 1 or 2.
