LOW AND NO EMISSION NATURAL TANNIN ADHESIVES

In order to enhance the environmental credentials of a material, there is a growing demand for increasing the use of naturally derived materials in many of today’s products within the wood products industries. One area suited to this is the development of natural tannin adhesives in composite manufacture.

        

Tannin adhesives appear to offer a viable alternative to conventional adhesives and companies are being approached to explore the commercial potential
