Characterization of the ecological lignin adhesive
Among the tests required to develop the EcoTimberCell systems are the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests on the ecological lignin-based adhesive that will be used by LIFE EcoTimberCell.
These studies will allow to know the intrinsic behaviour of the adhesive and to compare it with commercial structural polyurethane adhesives and are being developed through CETEMAS (Center of Wood Technology of Asturias) in collaboration with Betanzos HB
The technology available, as well as the technical experience in this field, allows the definition of the optimal parameters for the application of adhesives on different wood products through the study of the cure rate and time or the optimal application temperature.
