PRODUCTION OF YELLOW POPLAR INTERIOR PLYWOOD WITH COTTONSEED-BASED PROTEIN ADHESIVES

Defatted cottonseed (CS) and water-washed CS meals were prepared from glandless CS and were used in adhesive formulations to produce three-ply yellow poplar plywood panels. Adhesive resins were prepared from each protein meal with sodium bisulfite and one of two polyamido-amine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) wet strength agents, and the plywood panels were produced by hot pressing. Shear strength and water resistance were determined by American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) and American National Standards Institute for Hardwood and Decorative Plywood/Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association (ANSI/HPVA) methods and were compared with the properties of plywood panels made with an adhesive formulated from a commercial soybean meal. Panels prepared from three protein meals had comparable shear strengths. The combinations of the two CS preparations and the two wet strength agents produced panels with acceptable wet resistant properties, whereas the soybean meal only produced acceptable panels with one of the wet strength agents. Because the panels prepared from the two CS meals had comparable properties, there appears to be no benefit to including a water-washing step to increase the meal’s protein level. In contrast with recent literature reports suggesting the addition of alkali to elevate the formulation pH was necessary with CS meal, suitable panels were prepared herein without the addition of the base. This difference may have been due to the slightly higher pressing temperature and longer press times used in this work compared with earlier results. The CS meals showed promise as formaldehyde-free hardwood-plywood wood-based adhesives for interior applications.
