Interaction of wax and UF resin in MDF: quantification of wax and resin distribution by confocal microscopy
Abstract
Both resin and paraffin wax are essential additives in the manufacture of composite panels such as medium density fibreboard(MDF)board. Reported is the first simultaneous visualisation of both urea formaldehyde(UF)resin and wax on MDF fibre and panels. Through the use of confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM)and dual fluorescent labels,the distribution and coverage of UF resin and wax have been quantified. Coverage and distribution results indicate emulsified wax was more mobile on fibre during pressing than resin. Wax coverage values were dependent on the order of wax and resin application both on unpressed fibre and in MDF. The interactions of resin and wax on unpressed fibre and MDF were also determined by this image analysis method. Applying wax prior to resin showed the least overlap(ca. 30%)of resin and wax in the final panel even though it was ca. 80%on unpressed fibre. When resin was applied first there was a 60%overlap of resin and wax,which was slightly less than observed on unpressed fibre. Mixing resin and wax resulted in the highest overlap of wax and resin(ca. 100%)which was observed in both unpressed fibre and MDF. Panel performance indicates wax coverage plays a role in the observed cold water soak results with higher coverage associated with improved thickness swell.
