A formaldehyde-free bean pulp protein adhesive and a preparing method thereof

Abstract

A formaldehyde-free bean pulp protein adhesive and a preparing method thereof are disclosed. The adhesive includes bean pulp powder, trypsin, bean chitinase, a dispersion medium that is water, sodiumperiodate, triethylenetetramine, glycerol triglycidyl ether and a curing agent. According to the adhesive prepared by the method, molecules of bean pulp are degraded and then modified and recombined into prepolymer so that protein is fully extended, molecular activated groups are obviously increased, and reaction activity, solubility, a water-retaining property and toughness are improved; the elastomer-based curing agent is added to allow the prepared adhesive to have high toughness, good water-proof adhesion performance and high stability; a waterproof requirement on artificial board adhesives can be met; the dosage of a crosslinking agent is reduced so that the cost of the adhesive is reduced; and practical properties of the protein adhesive are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wood-based panel adhesives, in particular to an formaldehyde-free soybean meal protein adhesive and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] my country is short of precious wood resources, but there are abundant plantation forest resources. The wood-based panels prepared by using plantation fast-growing wood and agricultural and forestry processing residues through adhesives are the main raw materials for furniture floors and interior decoration in the living environment. In 2016, The total output of wood-based panels in my country is 320 million cubic meters, accounting for about 50% of the world's total output. Based on the average production of 9 cubic meters of wood-based panels per ton of adhesive, the consumption of wood adhesives in my country in 2015 was about 40 million tons (solid content 50%), of which urea-formaldehyde resin and its modified products accounted for 20% of the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, urea-formaldehyde resin also has obvious disadvantages, such as poor aging resistance, poor water resistance, and cannot be used to prepare wood-based panels for outdoor use.

[0003] The use of vegetable protein adhesives to prepare wood-based panels can solve the problem of free formaldehyde release from wood-based panels, but there are problems such as poor water resistance and bonding performance, and unstable production. This is because the raw materials used to prepare protein adhesives such as soybean meal and cotton meal 1. Due to poor protein solubility, large particles, and large molecular weight of peanut meal, the modification method of adding an external cross-linking agent cannot modify the matrix, resulting in uneven distribution of the cross-linked structure of the protein adhesive and poor toughness. A large number of weak interface layers and poor water retention capacity. Although the average strength meets the requirements, the bonding quality of different areas of wood-based panels varies greatly, the bonding strength is unstable, and the production efficiency is low.
