ABSTRACT
This study was aimed at the application of keratin-modified-urea-formaldehyde (KMUF) resin adhesive for bonding particleboard. The keratin extract was used in developing the urea-formaldehyde resin. The physicochemical properties of the resins which included viscosity, gel time, specific gravity, pH and total solid content of the modified resins were determined. The application of the resin adhesives was done by formulating and forming particle board whose compositions were 80% wood chips, 11% resins and moisture content of approximately 9%.The boards were evaluated for their mechanochemical and water resistance properties. These properties of KMUF boards were compared with that of neat urea-formaldehyde (NUF) board. The results of the characteristics properties of the particleboards showed that KMUF gave improved strengths and better water resistance properties than the NUF board.
