Solution Overview

Problem

Existing adhesive compositions that do not contain formalin and resorcin are inferior in adhesiveness and productivity, and there is a need for environmentally friendly alternatives that maintain or improve these properties.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating specific polyphenol and aldehyde with aromatic rings into an adhesive composition, along with sodium hydroxide and ammonia water, ensures their dissolution and enhances adhesiveness and productivity, even without formalin and resorcin.
