Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of artificial boards, and in particular to a method for preparing an ENF-grade modified urea-formaldehyde resin for artificial boards. Background Art
[0002] In today's construction and home decoration fields, wood-based panels are widely used as basic materials. Their environmental performance, especially formaldehyde emission, has become the focus of attention of consumers and the industry. With the official release of the GB / T39600-2021 "Grading of Formaldehyde Emissions of Wood-Based Panels and Their Products" standard, the market has put forward more stringent requirements on the formaldehyde emission of wood-based panels. Among them, ENF grade is the highest standard, which stipulates that the formaldehyde emission must be less than 0.025mg / m 3 This undoubtedly brings huge challenges to wood-based panel manufacturers.
[0003] At present, there is a relative shortage of products that can stably meet the ENF grade standard in the market. Some companies try to add formaldehyde removers to E0 glue to meet this standard requirement. However, this method has many disadvantages. First, in the actual production process, the precise control of the amount of additives added becomes a major problem. Due to the complexity of the production process and the inherent limitations of manual operation, it is difficult for workers to accurately control the amount of additives added, which directly leads to uneven product quality and the pass rate is difficult to be effectively guaranteed, greatly increasing the company's production costs and quality control risks. Secondly, from the perspective of product performance, the addition of additives often has a negative impact on the bonding strength of artificial boards. As one of the key indicators for measuring the quality of artificial boards, the reduction of bonding strength may cause quality problems such as debonding and deformation of artificial boards during use, seriously affecting the service life and safety of the product, thereby weakening the product's competitiveness in the market, and failing to fundamentally meet consumers' urgent needs for high-quality, environmentally friendly artificial boards.
[0004] To this end, we provide a method for preparing ENF-grade modified urea-formaldehyde resin for artificial panels to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an ENF-grade modified urea-formaldehyde resin for artificial panels. By combining a specific raw material formula with a finely regulated preparation process, the problem that the formaldehyde emission of products in the prior art is difficult to reach the ENF-grade standard and the addition of additives affects the bonding strength is solved.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

When this phenomenon occurs, add the third portion of liquid alkali and the third portion of urea, and keep warm at 80-85℃ for 30 minutes to further promote the polycondensation reaction. The molecular weight and cross-linking degree of the lipid are improved, thereby enhancing its bonding performance and stability; Step c: Afterwards, the reaction system is cooled, and the cooling rate is controlled at 2-3℃ / min.
